Collapse?

I was sure yesterday was Friday again. Apparently my brain is prepared for 4-day weeks, not 5-day weeks, which means next week will feel fine. Three-day weekends are lovely. Except the kids come back kind of out of it. Me too really. At least I know what I’m teaching next week. I have three kids on independent study contracts and I haven’t been able to plan that far out, and we don’t have an alternative curriculum for this first unit…although I’m pretty sure I had to do this last year for some kid. I just need to find whatever I did. I had 40 minutes after school yesterday and was going to grade an assignment, but then got two new ISCs and had to try to find stuff for the next three weeks for them to do. Annoying…because I don’t have a textbook. Minor issue. That said, they are on labs for today and next week, so hopefully they’ll behave and slow down and read before doing (had a few issues yesterday).

Rolling into the weekend tired though. With about 17 thousand things on the to-do list. Not as bad as next Saturday though…it’s full and includes a brain scan. My EEG came back normal…so I’m not having seizures. Good to know. I suspect after all this they will just say, we don’t know what it is…live with it. And it’s not horrible…it’s annoying, especially at night…but I can still see and read and draw and all that. That niggling idea that it’s a symptom of something larger is hard to push away though. Thanks, anxious brain. Appreciate it. Suspect the next quilt will be about the brain thing. Maybe. I don’t know. I have to make a piece for a show in May…and NOT about that…plenty of time.

So I’m still struggling to get an hour a night of art, although last night included picking up three quilts from the photographer, organizing the pictures, and entering one show. So that was quite a bit of time. It’s just art business, which I don’t count in that hour.

Wednesday night, I finished ironing to fabrics…

It took a whopping 7 hours to iron these to fabric…lots of tiny details. And there are 77 fabrics in this little thing.

I started cutting things out last night…

That is 48 minutes of cutting. Doesn’t look like much, does it. Well there will be more of that tonight, after teaching labs all day and going to ceramics and coming back and watering and I’m not sure what’s for dinner because it was supposed to be leftovers and I don’t have any. Minor issue. I suspect the Man has leftovers.

OK. Here’s Seeking the Crone’s Protection…

52″w x 78″h…will post it in the Recent Work tab later this weekend…along with the other two. I need to go to work. I’m tired and need a ton more caffeine, but I still need to work. Really.

Oh yeah, Google Classroom (our main learning management system) went down during Period 3 yesterday…I tracked the crash and then it coming back by Period 4 (we couldn’t get the digital stuff done in Period 3…so we’ll have to do it today).

Fun times.

OK. School. Labs. Organize shit. Clay. Collapse? Maybe.
