Quick introductory post: I teach English as a Second and Third language and Ethics to high schoolers in Germany. I also support students with Special Educational Needs and am a passionate advocate for accommodations for those who need them. I've been teaching for >20 years and still love it. #edusky
A is still sick. It has been 2.5 weeks and I think she now has a sinus infection. I looked it up so I can call the paediatrician tomorrow.

Nasennebenhöhlenentzündung.

LOL.

Grief comes in waves. Sometimes it sneaks up when you're not looking. We were just looking at wedding photos from 2009 and there were so many people who are no longer with us. My cousin who passed away in October was there and I came undone. I miss her and it's so bloody unfair that she's gone.

All teachers in DE born after 1970 had to either show their vaccine record, proof of immunity or medical exemption for measles. All my pre-2014 Vax records are in a box in Australia so I had a blood test done to prove immunity. I know I was jabbed after A was born due to an outbreak at the time.
If you are not sure if you had all your vaccines, the GP can check for you

UK kids can go to the GP and ask to get the vaccines they missed by using their Gillick competency rights

If you have people coming to school to do flu or HPV vaccines, they will often do missed vaccines at the same time

It just happens that back in 2014 I made a bunch of Winter Olympic Lolcats. Let's have a look!

A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

So for the past several years our school has given out Krapfen on the last day before the Faschingferien. They are GOOD - fresh, soft, generous filling of tart jam. They have spoiled me for other Krapfen. I haven't had one this year in anticipation of today.

THEY DID NOT GIVE ANY OUT TODAY AND I

Today I told my tenth grade class that I like them and enjoy teaching them. I thought my behaviour towards them made that quite clear but they were genuinely chuffed that I explicitly said so out loud. They said that not many teachers would feel that way, or say so, which is sad.

All prepared for a full day workshop with a bunch of year 8 kids.

Except I've woken up with a raspy throat and my right foot is on fire.

Let's see what shape I'm in at the end of the day.

A colleague was saying today his twelve year old asked him about Epstein. He would have preferred a conversation about Gay than a conversation about horrible people exploiting and harming children.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Just picked up my incredibly pretty Aussie passport. Seriously beautiful images on every page (except the photo page. Holy crap I have ten years of that nonsense picture). NOW to contact the KVR to have my residency permit extended and oh so subtly ask how my citizenship application is going.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

youtu.be/vN7ih576VYM?... The Winter Olympics!!! I bloody love them. My homeland doesn't exactly cover itself with glory for obvious reasons, but this is one of the best moments in sporting history.

It's a pod change day!
It's a sensor change day!
It's a ✨combination pod and sensor change day✨!
The G7 CGM lasts 10 days. The Omnipod lasts three. So every now and then the stars align and A has both on the same day. She's a champ. (She's also home with a respiratory virus 🦠)

Jesus Christ. I have acne again for the first time in decades, I have barely slept in the past *waves hands* however long, I'm still limping after six months of excruciating plantar faciitis, I don't wear makeup... How the fuck is a lipstick going to put out the dumpster fire that is perimenopause?!
