In these stressful teaching times, self-care is important. It is easier said than actually done. A three-day weekend makes it easy. One day to catch up around the house. One day to rest. One day to prepare. Today was my rest day. Tomorrow, I will be back to preparation and planning mode.

It is 4 weeks until Spring Break. I will have plenty of time for self-care and rest during that week. I think I would trade the week off for more three-day weekends. The brief breaks makes things more sustainable. After tomorrow, I will begin looking forward to week off.
