Six more days of freedom...I know I love my job, but it's so easy to forget why when I have time over the summer to think about things happening outside my classroom. I'm not ready to give up all my out-of-school hobbies yet 😭.

Tell me about it, we started back today. It doesn't feel real yet that this is my life until June, again.

My God...this is what we are now. We are the only profession ON THE PLANET that "can't believe" we have to get up in the morning and go to work. I'm sure the construction workers and police officers are all very sympathetic to us. There are some things that should never be said out loud, and this most definitely is one of them.

Maybe it’s different for you, but all my hobbies stop in mid-August. Weekends, holidays, and evenings are spent on grading and curriculum. Hobbies are for summer.

I’m the only teacher in my family, but everyone else has been commenting on how I must be sorry to see summer go. They’re the ones that bring it up. Same with my neighbors. They’re not teachers either, and like you, I hesitate to say anything because they all work through the summer. But they’ve all mentioned my end of summer break with no prompting from me. Last Sunday at church, I lost track of the number of people who paused to ask how I was adjusting to the school year. So in the end, I had to reevaluate my outlook. People just aren’t as bothered about it as I feared. And it’s consistently like that every year. Most people accept that there are ups and downs to every job, and heading back to eleven hour days after a long break is a downside for teachers.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.
