So last week I had a flu shot and I think I then "got" the flu. From 
Thursday to last night I have been sweating and freezing  (at the same time) bad headache, muscle aches, a very upset stomach, major fatigue and either  I couldn't sleep or I couldn't wake up. Had to cancel plans . BUT  finally I feel much better. So I now can return to the usual stress stuff :Trump, N.Korea, PD, bug bites, and weeds.

And then the special "make me crazy" event of the century THE ECLIPSE. Stay in, go out, hide, don't look up. Get a grip !!!! (me!) 

Despite my retirement from teaching I still feel the excitement of the new school year. My inner calendar has always started in September ......school, Jewish holidays, new classes, new clothes, (haven't bought anything !!!). Friends are returning to their classrooms and there is a part of me wanting to be at school too.
However I can't. So I will be a volunteer when I can. And when I don't have to go to outside for recess, or worse yet , rainy day INDOOR recess, I will remember that retirement has its perks

Whatever !!!
