New Ultimate Coffee DateWelcome to the May edition of the Ultimate Coffee Date hosted by Coco and Deborah.  It’s also time for another edition of Fit Five Friday hosted by My First 5K and More, Running with AttitudeRun Laugh Eat PieRuns with Pugs, and me!  

Now, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, and let’s chat briefly!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am already making plans to spectate the Boston Marathon in 2025.  My niece goes to school in Boston and has offered me a place to stay.  The date is April 21.  It is perfect because I am off on Friday for Good Friday and can leave Thursday after work or Friday morning.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am planning to go to Minnesota in July.  My nephew got married in March in Mexico but I wasn’t able to go.  His wife is from Minnesota and her family is planning a wedding celebration.  I feel terrible that I missed the wedding in Mexico but now plan to make it to this celebration.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I submitted an application for Team TCS Teachers.  If I get picked, I get an entry to run the Chicago Marathon (1st choice) or the NYC Marathon (2nd choice).  Cross your fingers and toes so that I get picked!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am physically and emotionally exhausted.  I come home tired with no desire to do anything.  I only want to read and cuddle with my cats.  I know this is the usual around this time but this year hit me hard.  I like my job but there are days that I hate being a dual language teacher.  It is more work than a regular teacher and I don’t get paid more for doing that job.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that today we receive our assignment letter.  This letter states our job for the following school year.  However, there is no guarantee that that is the job I will have next year.  The District is known for moving teachers to a different job during the Summer, a few days before the start of the school year, and halfway through the school year.  

The topic for next week’s Fit Fit Friday – 5 ways to celebrate the mother runner in your life.  Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.  We hope you’ll link up with us!

10 Comments on Fit Five Friday and May 2024 Ultimate Coffee Date

  1. It sounds like you are making some fun plans!

    Was the assignment you got for your same position as now? I’m not sure I could cope with that level of uncertainty.

  2. Glad you’re able to make the wedding celebration in Minnesota + will keep my limbs crossed that you get picked! :]

    I’m with you on the exhaustion — I’ve definitely been pretty low-energy lately/don’t want to do much else other than hang out with my pets. Hang in there! <3 :[

  3. I’m sorry you’re so tired. I go through phases of that and it’s difficult. And I hate that they can just opt to move you without warning. That seems like a bizarre way to treat teachers. then again, I guess nothing surprises me anymore.

    • Fortunately, I have been notified in advance of the various times I was moved. Most were in the same school and the last time was two years ago when my school was closed.

Thank you for your comment!
