I know it's a little early, but I'm already dreading this year's cold and flu season. When is everyone getting their flu and covid shots? My doctor told me that if I get a flu shot before October, I would have to get a second shot in the spring because, apparently, the flu shot wears off around six months. Who knew?

I have never had a flu shot in my 30+ years of teaching and have never had influenza. Teachers have the best immune systems!

Get it done.

Get the shots, but also make a plan for those sick days. If your school uses Google classroom or something similar you can have several lessons sitting there in draft form and activate them the morning you decide you can't go in.

They can be self-grading if you choose, using Google forms, or gimkit, or kahoot, or something that is easy to grade for you. They can be a "somewhat current events" article that relates to your subject, or an educational game that relates to your subject. You can assign an open-ended art project where they draw something to explain a key concept, or a web quest to learn something that might otherwise be enrichment.

I know we're all crazy busy all the time, but this doesn't take that long, you can reuse it every semester, and it gives you grace when you really need it.

In my opinion, get the shots as soon as you're able. Even if that means going for a second dose in the spring.

Any advice as to how to help my other-half (who has bouts of anxiety and depression) apply to jobs? He’s going through a particularly rough patch at the moment. We had a big chat the other day which was great! However, even if we agreed that I’m doing everything I can for him (his words) it has to come from him (which we both agreed). He’s having a real mental block (I think with writing cover letters mostly) he describes staring at the screen feeling incapable. Any suggestions?
