I'm feeling better now than I was earlier. On my walk, I was hit with a flood of suicidal thoughts. Hopefully, that was a one and done thing. I stayed home from the volunteer meeting at my church so I could take care of my mental health.

Day one of testing has everyone drained, especially because there were so many tech. issues. Because of the type of issue that happened in my classroom, I'm predicting it will be an issue tomorrow too. There were great snacks for the teachers!

A perk to testing week is I get to simply be a fun science teacher for the week. There is no homework, quizzes, etc. during testing so I chose to find some group challenges for them to try. The one they started today seems to be going well. It's taking longer than I expected, but that's fine. I have some wiggle room so can always push some of what I have planned for this week to next week if needed.

My sleep has been weird lately. I've been dreaming more and the more I dream the less rested I feel. It's like my brain is registering the dream as me being awake when it comes to energy levels.
