I've put a couple rounds on a few other things, but really...I've lost that mojo thing again....part of it, is just feeling so crappy....I taught on Thursday and Friday, although I had no voice....I was very creative....I have a smart board and I'd type out the directions for the students and they'd read them outloud...or a student near me would tell everyone what I said...I actually tried giving a math lesson...that didn't go well, so we ended up playing telling time BINGO.....and we watched a video on Martin Luther King and they answered questions about the events...
I've always had sinus/ear infections, but this year they are out of control....and they start with my allergies....I'm allergic to dust mites....so there is no seasonal reprieve from those...and now with the auto-immune diagnosis...well it is what it is...and I've just had to slow things down....but I did have a week without a lot of pain and I am starting water physical therapy on Tuesday...so that is something to look forward to...not being in a bathing suit...but the therapy....and I like swimming....
I have pulled out a few skeins of yarn thinking I'll work on something new to kick start that mojo...but alas...nothing...maybe next week....

SO sorry you've not been feeling well. I hope you get your crochet and knitting mojo back and you can get to feeling better soon.
Everything is so much more difficult when you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon and there is much sickness and allergy/bronchitis stuff going around plus you're a teacher who hangs out with little germ carriers....need I say more! My daughter the teacher has had the exact same problem and has been to the doctor twice in the past few weeks. As for the dust mites....it helps if you wash your pillows on a regular basis but maybe you do that already? Or if you have a big chest freezer you can put them in there. I'm sure once you're on the mend your mojo will return! Take care.
p.s. A waterproof mattress pad helps too!
Hope you're feeling better now. Sorry you suffer so. I hear you on men's big feet. It certainly took a while to knit the foot section of each sock for my husband. I forget taller ppl have longer feet.
Oh, darn it. I'm so sorry you're unwell. You're doing an amazing job teaching with those limitations.
Sorry about the health challenges. Mojo comes and goes - hope it comes back to you soon. In the meantime swimming sounds like fun, as well as curling up in front of a movie. Feel better soon!
Sorry you are not feeling well. Tis the season it seems. I hope your mojo comes back soon. Sounds like you were very creative with your teaching - well done!
Oh no - I hope you are feeling better by now. Hope the swimmimg helps and just do things that make you happy.
