My Week in Review: Second Week of School down, 34 to go!

We are officially 10 days into the 2022-2023 school year! It has been an unbelievably rocky start to the new school year. For starters, we don't have a counselor or an ESS teacher. Thankfully the rest of our staff is full but these are two very important positions we need filled ASAP. If you are in the Baton Rouge area, give me a call!!

My job hasn't gotten any easier either btw. So much to do to get the technology up and running, make sure all the students have access to a working device, make sure the teachers' tech works in the classroom, printer problems, student login credentials, and so much more. On top of that I have to prepare for all the assessments this year because I'm school test coordinator. UGH!

AND ON TOP OF THAT - I haven't had Internet in my office for over a week!!!!!!!!!!!! So that makes my job incredibly difficult. I have to use a hotspot, that isn't so hot, with my personal computer because I need programs that don't run on school Chromebooks. They say it could take a month or MORE to fix this issue of a cut fiber. I just want to cry.

Speaking of school technology, we arrived one day to see this disaster. Absolutely no clue as to how this happened. It was fine the night before, the next morning it looked like this. Crazy, right??

I got my new ID! Our theme this year is "BRCVPA: All Stars, All Day!" So everyone dressed up as a team player! With rainbows, of course.

With everything I'm dealing with at work, I still kept on track with my workouts. I'm on Phase 1, Day 20 of 80 Day Obsession. I'm beginning to feel a bit stronger so I'm lifting a bit heavier. All I have are up to 12 pound weights right now so I can't really be getting too crazy.

A friend of mine requested some succulent and crystal cookies for her daughter. This is what I came up with!

Had to throw in this picture of Lilo in what has to be the most uncomfortable position ever, but she seemed happy. She's a grazer with her food (whereas Chip devours everything in one gulp) so every once in a while she will take a tiny bite. Then she went back to this position. Weirdo but we love her.

My meal prep this week was so delicious! Blackened Chicken Salad, Cheesy Steak Skillet, and Broccoli and Chicken Mac and cheese!!

So I haven't been feeling my usually cheery and bubbly self lately. Between starting school, working out, funky sleep schedule, and some personal stuff, I've just been feeling really down and out. Not really wanting to do anything. I'm hoping this is just a simple funk and nothing more. I started cleaning out my computer, because, well, when I can't sleep what's a little more blue light exposure amirite?

I found these bright and fun positive posters hiding amongst my old files and they brought a smile to my face so I thought I'd reshare them with you.
