1) this has been another busy week in the science office. we are focusing on setting up these aquariums for trout eggs for the second grade classes. it hasn't been the smoothest process. i was expecting to get this thing running and bounce at 10:30am to hit up the baylands in palo alto before i work with my students. the filter never got going, and i was trying to connect with the contact person all morning. finally at around noon, after some troubleshooting, water started flowing out - yay!
2) because of the filter fiasco, i decided to take a sick day at lyon learning. once i got the aquarium going, i was determined to make my nature walk happen so i hit up the los gatos creek trail and go on a 6 mile walk! i was smiling the entire time - taking in all the sights of the wildlife and nature's beauty, the cool freeze, the warm sun. it was worth calling in sick and it was the boost i needed after the hiccups this morning.
3) yesterday, i helped out in coops' classroom for their valentine's day activities. it was so much fun, and i appreciate all the effort miss pham puts into their holidays. i'm glad i got of picture with my little valentine!
4) the much anticipated trailer for ted lasso season 3 was finally released yesterday! this show pulled me out of my funk several times during the pandemic. one more month until the final season. yay/boo!
5) coop has been loving his electric toothbrush that cindy got him! we never have to ask him to brush his teeth - he happily does it each time! this filter was hilarious and made me giggle when he was brushing his teeth last night.
6) ry and i continued our tradition of eating pizza on valentine's day. i was in sessions from 4-6:30pm so he ordered a delivery so we could celebrate as usual.
7) after volunteering in coops' class yesterday, i snapped a pic of him and his friends. it makes me happy knowing he has good friends in his circle.
8) after my walk, i needed to charge up my phone so i stopped at panera. while plugging away, i pulled up my secret show podcast and immediately found myself giggling to their nonsense.
9) at panera, i ordered a fuji apple salad with chicken. i inhaled it! so delicious!
10) i don't do it often, but taking the day off from job #1 was just what i needed to get caught up with taking care of myself. i really hope that wellness days become more and more accepted - at work, at school, in life.
