And today I went down a rabbithole of what teacher grants are available - this proposal may include some travel!

I’m in - if you’ll also book flights from Aotearoa (and pay for them!)

… no? Ok then. 😔

So theres this #PPTA #TeacherSabbatical thing I can apply for later this year that gives me one term paid leave in 2027.

Had a brilliant idea for my research (which is part of the deal) and wrote a 250 word proposal today.

Applications don’t open until June - talk about eager! 💌

I effing love peanut slab ice cream. And in a weird coincidence, hubby just got home from the shop with one as a treat for me!

In today’s episode of being a woman online…

FFS dudes, I’m just on that app to play #scrabble!

Men: you can just chat without calling someone ‘beautiful’, asking if they are married or asking for their email.

Do Better.

I thought that was new tat as well! Just a new angle?

I’m embarrassed that as a maths teacher I still needed one clue to solve this. 🫣

I was about to say you should buy it, it’s only $150! Then I realised I was looking at the wrong sign 🤭

Wow that’s gorgeous! A real statement piece :)

It’s time. #moonbootday

Went back to karate tonight. Training in a chair as I’m not fully weightbearing yet, but it’s a start. Moon boot day tomorrow!

Long suspected ADHD is raging at the moment Could be hormones? Who knows. Anyway, I tried one of my kids' ADHD meds today and in my free period I finalised two assessments, printed the answers for staff and got the students papers in for copying. Might be a coincidence, but this is a lot for me!

I’m loving the whole shebang. Alex was great last week! Will listen to 12 today.

The opening of Up has hardened my heart against all other tragedies. Damn you, Disney!

This picnic table was perfect for elevating my cast.

Hubby and I at a picnic table. Early evening sun and a beer for him, Diet Coke for me.

Another #welly late summer swim at Days Bay. By which I mean Sammy went for a swim while I read my book in the afternoon sun and sneakily slipped on wine in my drink bottle. 🤭

Then a quick drink and garlic bread pizza over at the pavilion before we head home to domestic life again.

Do it! Recovery will suck but then it will be done. Love from a girl who is almost done with week 6 of a six week cast and then moving to a moon boot for just as long on Tuesday!

I just followed the hashtag to work out what a scrabblegram is. This is fantastic! Do you do it physically with tiles? Or on paper? Or using a program of some sort?
I am here for this!!

Give me strength how could anyone possibly want more of this government? The things I value are not even on their radar!

Same here!! Such excitement that surely will only consume me completely by October!

#Welly sunset from Days Bay. Been a cracker day today for the official last day of Summer. Feeling a bit sad that I haven’t been able to swim at all but looking forward to casting off the cast (lol) very soon!

I’ve taken the paddling pool away for the season and I’m back in my happy place - under the tarp, a warm sunny day, cicadas chirping madly. Time for a read then a snooze.

Oh this is the best news!! So excited for you all. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

Week 5 post #anklefusion.
Second week of school done. Able to weight bear a little more - 60:40 standing alone and can walk short distances with only one crutch, albeit leaning heavily.
Looking forward to moonboot day, Tuesday. Not looking forward to seeing my presumably very skinny and hairy leg!

SO EXCITED!

Me too, in Wellington!!!

Sir, you cannot do this to us!

(I mean, you already did so too late. This is actual footage of my reaction.)
