Now that I’m back in the classroom, my shop time is a little more limited and getting sick means I fall behind a bit. I remember when I first started teaching and my team at the time told me about needing immune boosters during the flu season. It didn’t take long to think maybe they were on to something, a class full of little kids with coughs and runny noses… and the younger they are the more hugs you randomly get and the more nose picking!
I hardly got sick in the 4 years I was home with my son, but now I have to be on guard again lol. Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had the Flu go through our little school like crazy.
With my son also at my school I have increased my chances of catching something, I got sick in January, but I also caught the flu a couple weeks ago and the flu was because of my kiddo. Sick for days and him being a little guy, kept crawling into my lap or calling me in the middle of the night to lay down with him, gave me the flu.
Anyways, things have added up in the garage and I’m now working fast to knock out saws. I have 4 joiner saws, 5 frame saw plates, and 11 saw sharpenings to jump on. Everything is started and I’ll start shipping things out Monday. I just boxed up 7 plates yesterday too. Busy times for a small saw shop!
