I haven’t had a day where I can just sleep out, and probably won’t get that until next Saturday because of the dog show this weekend.<\/p>\n
However, I’m feeling better, and finally building back. For example, I actually got through most of the school day without needing something to eat and finally broke down and got some pretzels out of the vending machine.<\/p>\n
Here’s what happened for those who haven’t been paying attention … about a month ago, I got some really hard to take news about my job, and I started not sleeping.<\/p>\n
Basically I’m staying at the same school but am doing a drastically different teaching assignment which affects my identity. I’ve been a computer science teacher for 13 years. At the beginning I taught only 1 section and have built the program over the years. HOWEVER, our school is a NCLB school, basically our families can leave. We’ve had a hard time getting experienced core curriculum teachers, so most of the people teaching non-core curriculum classes are getting moved to core curriculum. So I’ll be teaching math full time.<\/p>\n
I’m not good at change, especially when it is forced on me. It still really bugs me but I’m getting used to it.<\/p>\n
On top of not sleeping I went to Europe. I took my CPAP machine with a battery pack on the plane, but couldn’t sleep because the air was just too dry. It got so dry, I couldn’t stand the mask any more. Finally when I got to the hotel, the converter I brought blew out the first night. It blew out all the circuits in the room.<\/p>\n
At this point I hadn’t slept for 5 days. I freaked and came back instead of going to our final destination. I’m glad I did as I came back I started feeling better. In all of this, the gum infection the dentist and I were trying to avoid flared up full blast.<\/p>\n
Somehow in all this, I managed to make an appointment with my sleep doctor. The intent was to get a replacement mask, but I ended up getting a travel humidifier so maybe I can sleep when out of town.<\/p>\n
While I saw him, he noticed my temperature was up, and decided I probably was on the edge of a sinus infection. I think it was the gum infection but he could be right.<\/p>\n
However, between not sleeping, being stressed out, and on the edge of sick, I started eating more and more and it got harder and harder to exercise and work out. I finally decided to give myself a break when iShape gave me 50 minute workouts a day for a week.<\/p>\n
The good news, is that the uncontrolled eating finally stopped. And I got back on the treadmill today. It all seems a lot better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
