Also it's my birthday today and I haven't left the flat or spoken to anyone.

A big hug for you, Springer80. I don't know why it hurts more to feel unloved on birthdays, but it really does. So I am sending you a little extra love...

...plus a hamster with a cake. 'Cause who doesn't need one of those?

I'm sorry you're having a wet, weepy day, but hang in there. It really does get better. (Wrapping you in warm thoughts...)

I could use a hug, too.

My 3rd biology class is today. I am teaching 6 teenagers biology this year as part of desensitizing a particularly difficult trigger. I've been doing ok with the class, but it always makes me feel like I've been put through the washer on clean cycle. :notworthy: :sick: :ninja:

I'm hoping this week will be a little better than last week, and maybe by the end of the year, I won't react to teen boys any more.

The class is still an hour away, and I'm already having to work on my breathing. Staying calm & staying present.

Thanks Angel,

Rodents with desserts really should make anyone feel better. It has worked!!
Sorry you're having a tough time with your class content. Old feelings die hard! The kids will have no idea what your going through though. I will imagine you getting through it, so chilled your practically in slow motion, like you've been sat in the sun all day with a cocktail and adopted a Caribbean sense of ease.

(((((((((Big Hugs))))))))))

I like your visual here. I'm afraid I went through it more like a Jack Russel Terrier on speed (nerves make me hyperactive and I talk too much) but I did make it through.

It's not easy to get over this stuff, but it is possible. Excuse me, but I have to go freak out a little now....

Ah I see,....I like your visual too. So the class thinks either -

a) you're just extra keen for them to get loads of info;
b) you have an aversion to going to the toilet mid class and are trying to rush through the cirriculum;
c) Your social life kicks ass and you always need to get out of class quick sharp;
d) your on speed;
e) your possessed by a jack russell; or
f) your on speed and possessed by a jack russell....

All Good....Well done for getting through..
 
Springer... I know people say "laughing out loud," even when all they did was smile. But that made me laugh so loud my husband and all my kids came to see what was wrong!

Too hilarious. I think I pick option c. It sounds really awesome.

Thanks for the hug and the great big belly laugh. That probably stripped off about three days worth of stress right there!
 
Speaking of great big belly laughs! This had me in stitches! Not only descriptive, but exactly what I would have done, so I completely relate!

I'm glad you're pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Be kind to yourself and don't push too hard.
