ScrapHappy Saturday - Fall Festivity

I will be the first to admit that it doesn't feel much like fall yet, but I am enjoying the idea of fall. Things are much more calm at school and cases are more managebale with the mask mandate in place. The courts continue to issue new rulings on what seems like a daily basis, but every masked day is a victory with more kids in school and fewer sick teachers. Sydney is fully recovered and working to make up on the school work that she missed. She is taking the ACT this morning. She missed the SAT during quarantine, so we will need to schedule another session for that. Senior year is starting to feel more real as we get ready for the junior versus senior powder puff football game. There is no dance this year, but they will still have a homecoming court at the football game. Every little bit of normal is so much appreciated at this point.

Yay for Sydney! That is such good news. We are back to work full-time but everyone says "Don't get too comfy here, because we are going back home soon." We can't help ourselves and every desk have more pictures of our loved ones than ever before. Take care. ;^)

I'm glad school life is getting back to normal, Angela. I'm so glad I'm retired and didn't have to face the extra work of making online lessons as well as classroom ones. The upside is probably that teachers must be much more computer-savvy than before.

Things are sounding a bit better for you and that is great! I'm glad Sidney has recovered and can get back to normal, too. Happy Weekend!

Happy to read that more kids are in school and less kids/staff are sick. I hope the improvement continues. I hope Sydney catches up soon.

"Every little bit of normal" - who would have ever guessed in 2019 that we would have to say things like that. Hats off to all school staff who continue to teach in the face of all the chaos.

Our local district has a mask mandate in place too, for now at least. There is a very active and LOUD group of parents fighting it. They organized a petition, a student protest, and everything else they can think of. But so far have offered no alternative solutions. And so far our school board is holding their ground. Yay!!

More masks = Fewer sick kids and teachers? Sounds like a BIG win to me!! Glad to hear it. Here's hoping you can enjoy some peaceful ORANGE sewing this weekend, Angela!

I'm glad it's getting better at school. I hate teaching in a mask, but I would hate it more if I or my students got sick. Stay well, and take care of yourself, too.

Hope the improviment continues and things get back to normal sooner, great news.

Edith said...

So glad to hear things are starting to improve and approach 'normal'.

Orange is such a great color -- I've got some orange in the works. Glad to hear things are calming down for you and yours at school. I have to say I'm very happy I'm retired from education! Have a good weekend and week.

Hello, everyone! I'm here to explore blogs and forums about the wonderful and most safe cure for (Herpes Virus). I was positive about the deadly virus called herpes and I lost hope because I was outcast and rejected even by my closest friends. I searched on-line to know an enquirer cure for Herpes and I read someone's testimony on how he was cured from Herpes so I decided to contact the same herbalist because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will heal me with the natural herbs from God! After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via DHL and it got to me after 3 days! I used the med as he instructed (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! it's really like a dream but I am so happy! That's the reason I decided to also add more comments on Him so that more can be saved just like me! and you can get in touch with him via email chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or WhatsApp  +2348132777335 Kindly visit website https://chiefdrluckyherbaltherapy.wordpress.com/

As an ICU nurse, of an amazing 38yrs long career bearing witness to God's great love for us, I know what a medical miracle is!
The first time that I saw an HIV patient cured with African herbs prepared by Dr. Utu Herbal Cure was in my 20yrs of nursing career, I felt God's presence with humans. He guides those he has chosen to live. I am a complete believer in God and I can testify he is so wonderful that he has given us all it takes to survive and save our surroundings!
I have recommended DR UTU HERBAL CURE to HERPES VIRUS patients, PSORIASIS patients, and many others who have come to me for remedy and they ALL declared to have been permanently healed.
DR UTU can still be reached today on drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
