Last Friday I was freaking out, because I wasn’t using as much insulin and I had a hypoglymic episode. Today I was fighting high blood sugars all day.
So here’s what my day was like —
Once a semester, I take a class period off, and teach a class on operant conditioning for one of my best friends. We show operant conditioning in action with Marcie, my beagle. We’ve done this for a bunch of years.
So I left the house early, with her in tow.
A meeting was scheduled in my classroom at 8:00 am, and the presenter met me outside my classroom as I am dropping my things off, so I take an extra few minutes to set up my computer and video projector for her.
I then have 1st period, and I get two new students. One a new enrollee, who knows from where, and another kid is a REALLY poorly behaved student. Also one of my kiddos showed up, after a not seeing him for about two weeks, and he had to make sure everyone knew he was there. At first I thought it was the dog, but once I got rid of those two — the one went to content mastery, I sent the other out because he wouldn’t calm down.
4th period, just as I finish lunch, my ELI specialist showed up. I knew she was coming but not sure what she planned. She observed me teaching 4th period, and we spent my planning period going over what happened and how I should do thing.
I “fixed” the things she pointed out and taught my 6th period class. It was a good thing, but hard on the blood sugar apparently.
I was absolutely done in 7th period, but I did finally make it home. Of course, no planning got done, and no papers got graded and I’m going to have to do all this weekend.
My blood sugar is finally back down, but I’m up to 40 units again today with no additional calories.
