Finding normal-week 3 update

As week 3 of work from home draws near to close, I feel like I am finding a rhythm. 

I wake up at 8 each morning (yay for sleeping in).
I work from I teach or prepare for lessons from 9-11 every day.
I meeting with students or trainings from 12:30-3:30 every day
After 3:30 I send emails, communicate to my team, to parents and ask questions of administration that pop up throughout the day.
My dedicated time on work is greater now than it normally is during the normal work day, as the distractions of other people around have faded. 

I put in extra hours on the weekend now that I didn't use to do, in order to have a more flexible schedule during the day.  I will miss this flexibility when it's gone. 

I am doing more evening trainings. I am balancing my time with zoom sessions with family. I hope to keep zooming with family even after all this is done.  It's nice to connect with them more consistently.

I have found I am more comfortable in my own skin working from home.  I don't have to Mask when I'm at home. I get to just be me, autistic quirks and all, and it's brilliant.

Our students schedules will stay the same again next week.  Work will be required, the normalcy of grades is starting to creep back in and I've got mixed feelings, but we shall see what happens.

I am finding a routine that works for me. That helps me get my work done and feel like I am still a good teacher, and good partner.

I hope that you are finding a normal that works for you too.
