I have 40 school days left of this Sh#t Show of a year - anyone else counting down???
I'm now at 51 days, not counting today... I was feeling hopeful last week, but have developed an overwhelming sense of doom this week. Cases are rising in my area, and our public health nurse is very concerned. Last week at a vaccine clinic, she alluded to case counts rising rapidly and that even though we are considered "low risk" in my area, we should be donning PPE for medium to high risk for the clinic. And now this week, we have had 3 cases with ties to our district, which may take out entire chunks of our work force who cannot work remotely (I.e. cafeteria and custodial staff). I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. We're supposed to be full in-person 2 Mondays from now, and I can't help but feel like we are going to have to go remote again ?
Thursday is our last day before Spring break. When we get back we have the last 35 day straight stretch to the end of the year.
Yes, as with many, I'm going to be happy to see this year finished. Gee, I'm even happy to see us get to Spring break even though these longer holidays always make for a long day on both ends doing my cath duty.
I have 40 days after today! My kids have 45.
We've been 100% virtual up until this week, so professionally, it's been OK.
BUT it has been very stressful from a personal perspective as my kids' school has continuously changed their plans since early August-full time in person, hybrid 2 days per week in half days, full remote, hybrid 2 days per week in half days, hybrid 5 days per week in half days with a "promise" not to change their minds again followed by another decision TWO DAYS LATER to change to full time in person-this should start next week. So many planning days (class cancellations) have been called as they've changed their minds. I can't wait until June 1st when they're finally done. Sigh...
