What a day!
Been busy today, went out into town to grab a few bits for the pets, got a new mixer tap for the bath with shower attachment because this house has an electric shower. I could not hack that *kitten*. No power at all and my hairs thick and long and it was just awful! So now weve changed the taps on the bath we now have a shower working from the boiler

Oh, Ash got his disability back!
The manager checked over his claim vefore the tribunal and was disgusted at the decision that was made!
So its been reinstated, so has Carers benefit AND it gets back dated! Not sure when we will get that payment though.

Only really bad thing today was i stood on some uneven floor not noticing and took a tumble, wouldnt be so bad if i didnt have Casey in a sling on my front and i was holding hands with Marley!
So mothers instinct kicked in and ( LOL thinking back it was like slow-mo!) I wrapped my arm around Caseys head and yanked up the arm holding Marleys hand. Casey was completely unscathed, not even suprised! Marley scraped her knee and a slight bump to the head (i went for a cheer-me-up hot chocolate, Marley got 1 too and ice for her head) and ive got ripped leggings and scraped knee, sore ankle, sore wrist and a dent in my pride LOL

Ash saw it happen, he was just coming out the shop, before he could even move two lovely ladies had picked me and the kids up lol! I got dead embarrassed thinking someone musf have thought it looked hilarious but Ash reassured me theres nothing funny about falling over with a baby!

And then we collected Saskia from school and shes been nothing but a pain in my backside all night! And kept winding marley up so she started being a pain and the little bugger locked me outside in the garden (Ash really went mad at them for that)

Its like 8.30 pm here but my two goals are to clean the kitchen and the rabbit, then early night for me.

@Bex953172 - I bet your fall will be causing you more pain tomorrow. Hope it’s not too bad.

I am so incredibly happy for you and Ash! What a great relief it must have been to get that news!

I just took the Grands home. It was a nice visit and I love them to death, but man they tire me out! I think one of the biggest reasons is they don’t sleep well here.

I applied for some more jobs today, one is to work for 6 days for our provincial election coming up. Not sure if I’ll here anything or not, but it’s worth a shot.

@Bex953172 sorry about the tumble and soreness, but immensely grateful that things were not
worse.
@Snowflake1968 Thank you!
@toaljasa Thank you
@mytime6630 Thank you!
I appreciate the encouragement😅😅

toaljasa

@bex953172 Oh wowie zowie, what a day you've had! Great news about the Ash and back payments. Oh, I'm so so glad about that. And ugh, about your fall. That was scary, embarrassing, and painful all rolled into one. It's nice, though, to see that people come to your aid when you need it.

Good on you for pushing through the evening and getting kitchen cleaned...you are likely gonna be really really sore tomorrow and better now then limping along in the morning to get it tidied again.

Again, so excited for you about the money/disability.

Spring must be here, the bullies are back! The two on the ice were patrolling.

Wow! You're right! That was quite a day, you had.
So, happy you got shower fixed & that Ash is getting disability back. That is good news!
Oh, so sorry to hear about your fall. I'm glad that Casey was okay, and hoping that you and Marley won't feel worse, tomorrow. That was quite a tumble! I'm glad people were around to help you all get up.
Also, sorry to hear that you were locked outside.

Btw, I like reading your posts. I really enjoy your writing style. You are a good writer and Mom.

Many hugs.

The locking out side was infuriating. Locked outside my own house by a 2 year old! I was only throwing some water on the grass over the grass seed!
I guess it will be one of them stories i can tell her when shes older lol!

Haha my writing style is how i talk in real life LOL (obviously i dont say "lol")
But thank you. Thats really lovely to say!

Yesterday's commitments:

- Log everything I eat

Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 192.3

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut

1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays!
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist? Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.

WFTY: Climbing. I'm doing well with my running, and I'm starting to get back to prelogging. Now let's see if I can stick to eating ONLY what I've prelogged! I'm way behind on my reading but I'm hoping I can get caught up over break. Capital in the 21st Century may be too much for me. It is SUCH slow going because it's hard to understand, and so then it's weeks to finish a chapter and the author refers to a term or equation he defined previously in the chapter and I can't remember what it means. UGH. I'm fine with ditching books because they suck, but I may have to give up on this one just because it's too hard and that kind of stings a bit.

I am almost certainly going to have to do some grading over break. That's definitely a bummer.

Happy Friday!!!! Welp..I did not stay within my calories yesterday. I came so close.. But then I could not resist the cake my mom put out 🤦‍♀️... And then I went back for seconds..🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

But.. Our guests left early this morning so there will be less big family meals and special desserts around. I'm debating on trying to get a low calorie day in and then have two regular deficit days this weekend, or if I should just go back to normal and have less of a deficit this week. I barely had any deficit at all last week so I really would like to be back on track but it will depend how I'm feeling throughout the day I guess.

@maryrobinson40 I hope you feel better soon, that looks painful, big hugs to you!

@Bex953172 I'm so sorry you fell! I'm glad to hear you were not seriously injured, it could have been a lot worse. I hope you are not too sore today.

@Snowflake1968 Those are lovely pictures, I really miss the snow!

Yesterday 3/28:

1. Stay within calorie goal😞
2. Go for a walk at lunch😁
3. Finish work at 5:15😁
4. Stay positive and don't stress😁

JFT 3/29:

1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Go for a walk at lunch

Thank you sooo much for your tender care, and the hugs. SURE DO NEED THEM!
