The Day Before

Today was my first full day back and I have survived without difficulty. Again the students seemed glad to have me back. French 1 was the only class where I had only taught a few of the students before. The supply teachers have done a good job and we will be able to carry one well from this point. I have put together a blog for each of the classes so that I will be able to give them information on assignments, tests, grammar, vocabulary and any web sites that may be useful. if you are interested in looking at one try: http://mmemerrickabinitio2.blogspot.com.

Tomorrow I have my second chemo treatment. I was dreading the first because I had no idea what it would be like. I'm dreading this one because I do. I've promised my students that I will be at school on Wednesday but I remember how I was last time. the only thing on my side is the fact that I only have 3 periods to teach that day. I can come home early and sleep for the rest of the day.

My murder mystery goes well and I have gained all sorts of ideas just by going back to work. It's amazing how a little interaction with people can do that. I still haven't had the chance to investigate how one would go about publishing it. There is a site lulu.com where you can self publish. I had also thought that since the novel is done in the format of a blog that it should be published on line. However, I'm not sure how to go about that either. Any thoughts from out there?

I had a bath a short while ago and a lot of hair came out. By the end of the week I may be bald. Last night was a particular problem. I kept waking up with hair in my mouth. I'm now really looking forward to being bald. How much easier it will be!
