The Continuing Adventures Of

It's 11:00 in the library on a beautiful spring day, apparently the last of these we're having, since it's going to rain for the next week or so (but still be in the fifties.) Ah well.

It's a busy day for me, a class last period, a class next period, and another later, all requiring the full period of instruction. If the hot flashes would just leave me alone, all would be well, but I'm dying here. I think it all has to do with blood pressure; mine has been low in recent months despite a change in my medication. I'm having it checked again next week, but I can take it at home and I know it's still low. We'll see what happens with that.

I did not walk home yesterday, since the Hubs pulled into the parking lot to pick me up just as I was walking out the school door. I took advantage of having the car and went to Nordstrom to buy a bra that fits. Next time I will just jump off a bridge and save myself the aggravation.

Oh, there was a comment yesterday about bathroom breaks and a hostile work environment. I certainly agree with that. My problem is that the school is very supportive of my needs and has made arrangements for me to be able to go anytime I want, but the people who actually need to be there are not the administrators who support me but my colleagues who generally have only that same time to get to the bathroom themselves, and who are only human and make mistakes or some of them are just jerks. The secretary who assigns substitutes also impacts my situation from time to time, and although she is generally very nice, she is Not Smart. So the situation is not implemented smoothly, which is why sometimes when I need to go, no one is here to cover me, although on paper, someone is always here. I will complain about some people and not about others, so I guess I bear some of the responsibility too.

My weight loss has stalled. I actually gained a pound last week in the city, and was glad to have gained only a pound, but I haven't been able to shake any of that. I haven't exercised much, which is why I was looking forward to the walk yesterday, but I'm going to try to get back to the Wii this afternoon.

And at the bell, it's me, posting and going into the computer lab to teach yet another group of freshmen how to write a research paper. That brings me up to somewhere around ... oh, 120,000, I think, over the years. Damn, I hope some of them remember it.
