First day of ESY out of the way. My only gripe is that all the assistants were assigned a morning bus and it’s my responsibility to take all the students from the bus and drop them as their classrooms. Two of the students were in my class during the school year and I know they are sloooow and need to be guided by the hand. I’m hoping it’s just those two as I only have two hands. They weren’t there today and the three that were present were able to walk with minimal guidance so hopefully it’ll all work out. My students in my class were mostly ok, we held it together until the very end of the day when the boy wasn’t allowed to take a fidget spinner home. Threw crayons and play doh and then collapsed in a screaming rage on the floor. I managed to get him up and out to the bus (still screaming) without too much trouble. One of the girls wasn’t allowed to take the pink play doh home and had a minor meltdown but it was controllable. Now a day off before jumping back in on Wednesday.

I wanted to go to the gym but I seem to have injured my foot. I think it’s an overuse injury. The top of my foot is red and tender and painful when I’m standing. Not as bad as it was last night so I figure if I rest for a couple of days and then stick to the elliptical instead of walking it might be ok. If it gets worse I’ll go to the dr but I’d rather not, I really hate drs. My good dr is booked up until October so I’d have to see someone else and I don’t know any of the other drs there. Except one and he’s a jerk. He dx’ed me with allergies when I actually had walking pneumonia. Plus I know they’ll comment on my weight gain. I’ve actually lost a little weight but I weigh more than I did the last time I went to my physical dr a year ago.

Hopefully my foot will feel better soon so I can get back into my exercise. It really does help me. Mentally I’m fine now, I guess I just needed a treatment. The ECT dr let me go another three weeks until my next one and if I do well we’ll drop it down to once a month! Though I think the fact that I got depressed after three weeks solidifies the fact that I really shouldn’t stop. I’ll just have to try to work them around my days off when I start the regular school year again. Missing one day a month will be better than having to go back IP and missing six weeks or more.
