Tomorrow is my first day of work. I don’t know where I’m supposed to park. I don’t know where the place is on campus where we’re supposed to meet. I don’t know almost anything about my job this year in terms of details. I know what subjects I’m teaching and to what grades. I also know one of the books I’m to use. Beyond that, I have no idea. I feel so woefully underprepared.
But I have an outfit to wear tomorrow. Unfortunately, it is not the best coloring for me. But it should look nice enough for photos, which are happening tomorrow at lunchtime.
Also, one gripe at absurdity. We start at 8am. Why on earth is lunch not until noon? Schools have lunch finished by noon. We don’t head to lunch at noon for an hour. Ugh. So, I anticipate tomorrow to be tough for me physically and a bit so emotionally. I don’t know what the food will be, despite having asked. I’ve been having trouble with food as it is, and each day has been its own struggle.
God, help me to do well tomorrow and to find ease in my place of work. Help me to be and to feel welcomed and wanted. Help me to do a good job in my work this year. Keep this baby safe. Keep my husband safe, please. Help me to be well. In your name, I pray. Amen.
