My grammar is suffering

Since I left the newspaper 2 months ago, I can really feel my spelling and punctuation slipping. Actually, I can see it. I read my blogs and blush at the terrible mistakes I make. I spelled "by the way" "buy the way." YIKES!
When I teach, I write on the board a lot and find myself second guessing what I spell on the board. Just today I wrote affect and had to look at it twice before I knew I was right. I miss having the time to grab a dictionary and look it up before I spell it. I need to brush up on my old skills again.
