Things to do in October

I was told I can't do this until 45 days into the school year. I would say half of my kids need some sort of support. I honestly don't know how I am functioning this year but I am really proud of myself for feeling like I kind of know what I am doing and being easy on myself.

I was so excited for this job because I thought I would be bringing in at least $100 -$200 more a paycheck. Nope. $50. After you take out taxes, insurance and the mandatory pension/401k.. $50. I am still working as a hostess but I am back to dating and would like my weekends open. I want to do something stupid when I am watching tv.

I want to get the 10k off and officially pay off my student loans. I honestly think part of the reason my dad is hanging on is that he wants me to be debt free. Maybe like 10% of the reason.

I just started to be able to go to the gym after school this week. It feels good. I am not getting as much exercise as my last teaching job. These kids are challenging me so much mentally that I just don't want to exert myself physically as much at school. I don't bounce around the halls as much. I started going to the gym and it feels good. I need to keep going.

I am trying to do this but I really hate preparing lunch the night before. I also feel like I am making more money if I don't have to grocery shop. Government School lunches are rough. I had a burger today and it felt wrong going down my body. How can I eat a cheaper lunch?

I am starting to see small improvements. They naturally gravitate towards straight lines. I had no runners last week. knock on wood. A student made me a bracelet. Another student told me about some stuff going down at home.They showed me empathy when I told them they made me sad for not listening to my story.

I have to pay off my health insurance deductible before I get full coverage for therapy. I am trying to pay it down each paycheck.

I am a slow reader. I also get bored and skip around a lot. I have two books I am reading and I want to finish one of them.

I want to help 10 people with my ideas. I want to find 10 people on instagram or facebook. Those are the sites I frequent the most.

I ordered a replacement part for my car and I need it installed. I just don't want to go to the dealership.
