State of the Royce

jeriendhalThursday: Ended up going to work until Noon. Then I went home and napped for an hour and a half so I'd be conscious at Georgia and Thomas' parent teacher conferences in the afternoon. Georgia is doing very well, predictably. She's got the teachers charmed, but more importantly she's retaining lessons from previous days, like the picture they showed me that she'd done on a wipe board of the planets of the solar system and rocket ships from the astronomy segment they did a couple of days before. Really great given her age level, though they did note she's a bit wiggly when asked to sit in a chair.
Thomas' meeting went better than I expected actually. We mostly talked about his math work, which is patently abysmal given it's all abstract stuff, which is very difficult for him. They were surprised at his interest in Geometry though, which has the advantage of being more visual learning.
Friday: Still running a fever but I couldn't take any more time off. Went in to a fortunately slow day at work, mostly because the State had fixed a system issue that we had been entering overrides for the past couple of months. Did my monthly evaluation and was happily surprised with the results. Normally I get bitched out for idiot mistakes but this time Fannie didn't find anything really serious. Go me. Almost makes up for today marking my working there as a "temp" for four years... sigh
Saturday: Watched kids while Tracy worked. Even took them out for a walk to the green moss bridge (Thomas' term) where they threw rocks in the stream for a while. Coming back I realized what a mistake it was, as I spent the rest of the afternoon completely wiped out. Started snapping randomly at people after Tracy got home, which made me feel about 3 inches tall later.
Today: Laundry, grocery shopping, nap, not necessarily in that order.
