Jamie,

Thanks for the reminder about the vitamin sticky! I definitely need to be on that. Honestly, I've been bad about it for two reasons:

1) affordability of the supplements and

2) finding a way to ingest them all without getting sick. I've had weight loss surgery and only have a portion of my stomach left, so I can only eat so much at a time... it's great for helping me to eat reasonable portions, but not so great for protecting my stomach from vitamins and such. I'll figure out a schedule to make it work.

As far as figuring out how much I can take before resting, I'm lucky that today and tomorrow I'm only subbing half days, so maybe I won't be completely wiped out at the end of the week. In fact, tomorrow my half day starts at 11, so I even get to sleep in a little, whereas today I took a nap between the two jobs since my half day was in the morning. I'm definitely trying to pace myself so I don't get shut down like I did last weekend... that was scary!

The last full day I'll be able to work before winter break is next Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday are early release days, and the enrichment program doesn't meet at all on those days... and the whole system is shut down on Friday. So if I can make it to this weekend, next week will be much easier and then I'll have two weeks to rest up. Hopefully that will help.

Thanks again
