Just some random things

I've had injections into my back twice already. It's a dextrose and pitcher plant chemical. It's a natural alternative and if I have this right, the body is supposed to work with it to help heal itself. It has made such a difference. It's strange being pain free. Now, honestly I'm feeling pain lately. I hope it's only situational. I have one more round and I hope it takes care of everything. Being pain free has improved my mood. Even the kids have noticed. I'm smiling, laughing, and playing with Ivy more. 

Gardening is making me happy too. We got and planted two blackberry bushes and a strawberry bush. We have already enjoyed a few of the strawberries. The blackberries have been flowering but are just now about to fruit. We've also finally cleaned up the yard of trimmings and started a compost. The last yard project is to move the bed from the tree in the front to the mail box. 

In general, I have been feeling very productive. I was able to finish off my lesson plans for the year. What really helped was having a full plan. Now my challenge will be to stay current on grading.
