Blessed...really, I am.
Today's "10 Things Tuesday" is brought to you by caffiene.
Or maybe by Advil.
Actually, I think it's brought to you by a totally off the wall sponsor--Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream. If you'll just read my list, I'll 'splain that one.
1. ONLY 3 days left with students before the school year ends. YAY!!!! I love my job, but OMG I need a break!
2. I get to stay late and earn some overtime (which never happens in education). I have to remind myself that this opportunity is a blessing...because I forgot I was scheduled to and really wanted to go home.
3. I've a new, geeky place to head when I need something to read. The Britannica Blog Yes, I found this because I like to read Encyclopedia Britannica Online. Hey.. I get free access from the state, why wouldn't I at least look?
4. I laid out Saturday, by the pool. (That's not the blessing.) I not only wore sunblock--SPF 30--I also made sure to reapply every 45 minutes or so. (Still not it.) I wound up horribly sunburned on my chest, which is apparently the fairest part of my body to ever be exposed to the sun. Yesterday, I awoke to itching on my chest so bad that I could not think straight and was crying--not just from the itching/pain but also from the frustration of not being able to do anything other than suffer. (Obviously, still not the blessing, wait for it.) Here's the blessing---Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream took it all away. I didn't hurt, I didn't itch, and I stopped crying.
5. I'm feeling super-introspective these days. I think I get what my problem's been lately. I've really just been 'making it' in terms of my own understanding of my relationship with God. I'm starting to determine what that's really supposed to be for me not for the masses.
6. Some of my former students, and current ones, are coming by to tell me thank you. I didn' even know they were listening.
7. It's still beautiful out. And going to stay that way for a few days. I love it. The sun light (even if it burns me) just does me in.
8. This site is cool. Earthlab.com It really helps you figure out where you can not only "live green" but where you can cut back on some of your own costs. And the recipes from Mario Batali are amazing!
9. Did I mention there's only 3 days left with kids in the school year? Hallelujah!
10. I'm just happy lately. Don't know why, just am.

I really enjoyed reading your list this week, especially #5! Thank you for the link to Earth Lab. I will definitely check that out tonight. Also, thanks for the tip on another use for "Gold Bond Medicated Anti-Itch Cream." I had no idea that it worked on painful/itchy sunburns. I guess they don't call it "Anti-Itch Cream," for nothing! he/he/he! Have a great week!
