School shorty
I am tired, finally my mind is catching up to my body in this, so this will be a short one. I just wanted all those inquiring minds to know that my day went very well.
I had success!
You may now return to your regularly scheduled blog.
You mentioned that your school has no Air Conditioning. Have you considered getting a cooling vest to wear on those hot days you know are coming? It may give you more energy. The ice packs last about four hours. So if you have one set in the freezer, you can change them after lunch. (Also, my vest takes five, but I don't always need five for it to be helpful. Just a suggestion.
I'm 5'4" and weigh 185, and my XL Steele vest that uses ice packs fits with room to spare. There are straps on the sides at are adjustable. Your insurance might pay for it, or the NMSS Equipment program, or the MS Foundation [http://www.msfacts.org/programs_services.php] has an application. It's worth a try!

Great to hear!
Happy you are back to school, but rest now.
That's one down. Whew. Glad it went well.

Stay well.
Webster, I've considered a vest but I am such a big girl I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find one that would fit.
I was so hot all day on Friday and put a fan on me at the front of the room. That helped a lot.

Not trying to be pushy, just trying to help.
