How was school today? Did any of the kids act up? School was good, I did not have any issues with the kids. They seem to be well rested from spring break last week. How was farming today for you? Farming is off to a good start!  I'm getting lots of new seeds planted in order to get ready for the summer.  What grade and subject area do you teach? I teach 8th grade world history. I will say that I am counting down the days until summer vacation, it has been a long year! What are some of the seeds you planted? I bet you're really excited about summer vacation!  Do you have any plans?  I've just planted my tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots. I am hoping to take a trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. I've started to plan the trip but haven't confirmed anything. Have you ever been to either of those places? I have not.  Sadly, I have not been to many national parks, but I definitely want to go.  I spent some time in the Smokey Mountains a few summers ago, and it really made me want to get out and see more of our natural wonders. That is my goal, too. I want to do a lot of exploring, I hope my ankle will be okay for hiking. Have you considered talking to your doctor about your ankle?  Maybe there are some strengthening exercises (s)he could suggest. I have talked to my doctor but haven't gotten anything too helpful. They suggest surgery but I am not sure I want to do that yet. I am going to look into ankle braces. Surgery seems a bit extreme.  An ankle brace sounds like a good idea.  Maybe you should get a second opinion from a different doctor?  Or maybe talk to a physical therapist. That is a great idea, I will try to find a physical therapist that could work with me. Have you had any experiences with physical therapists?
