    @Elbee1 Thank you for your concern 😊 yes, Rukia is one of our dogs. She is a 9 year old Siberian Husky. A while ago she was put on meds for incontinence because she seemed to leak every night when she was sleeping. after a while she didn't seem to need them anymore for several months, but I've noticed she started leaking again so I started her up on them again and got her urine tested, and turns out she also has a UTI. So now she is getting the incontinence meds in the mornings and an antibiotic twice a day until that clears up. The vet thinks she might possibly have bladder stones as well, I'm hoping not! Now that she's getting older, I think we may need to look into pet insurance.

    Positive thought for today: even though it was really hard, I plowed through a ton of stuff at work yesterday. Here's to another super productive day!

    Aww, poor baby! I bet she is a beautiful dog. I hope that she is well real soon & that she does NOT have bladder stones. Good thing you got her urine tested.

    My Addison's baby, Nova, is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and she'll be 12 years old in a couple months. It's sad watching her age...

    Good job at work! Stay positive!!!

    4/9/19 Tues.
    Weight: 152.8 lbs. Dang!
    It's so weird that the weight is NOT falling off. I am eating soo much less and my complete eating habits have changed since the first week of March. I'm only down about 6 pounds... I was eating at least 4 meals per day. Fast food or restaurant meals often 3-4 times a day. Milkshakes, ice cream, donuts, huge meals. I have made drastic changes and eating tons less than I was... Oh well... I will stay the path.
    Water 4 8oz. glasses - :)
    Stay in green :)
    Work in exercise :(
    Bed by midnight :(

    jft 4/10/19 Wednesday

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 190.2

    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). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
    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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    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! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.
    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: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. 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.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day.

    WFTY: Climbing. I'm upset and stressed and I do NOT want to go to school. Not that staying home would be any better. I'm stressing about state exams next month even though I mostly have classes that don't take them (they take them alternating years, and I have one of the 'off' years for most of my classes) and so it won't affect my scores. But the idea that teacher ratings are tied to student performance on a single standardized exam is absolutely disgusting. I am upset and frustrated entirely on principle. It's just so awful.

    Positive thought: It could be worse. Sorry, that's the best I've got right now.

    @lafayettenana~ kudos on getting in your fitness despite your knee and having that attitude of preparing for recovery. Yeah in the green!
    @azulvioleta6~ look at those smiles, focus on those as you keep working on turning those frowns upside down. 6:21 is good zzzz if you only get 5 usu. Hope tonight it’s 6:45.
    @snowflake1968~ I see smiles!! A nice afternoon indeed and keep those positive vibes, it will radiate from you when you interview. And haha… cable guy was too young to enjoy my weirdness.
    @HannahJWorden ~ How did your Tuesday go?
    @cschmitz110515 ~ Look at all those smiles. Night time habits are the hardest to change for me, too. Getting some of the wintery weather, too. Ugh!! In Michigan.
    @nlmackey98~ I so get it the struggle. First of all you are here!! I hid under a rock thinking no one would see me. Ha! I avoided the scales and mirrors, too. I was stuck in the mode of “no, but reached and ate it anyway; then went into over indulge mode.” And you don’t want to even know for how long I was in that mode. What mentally triggers us to be that way? No idea. But then one day it turned off, I had to fight it. And I’m finding that same voice of talking myself out of eating it is replacing that voice that said.. Just re-start tomorrow. So… my take on that for me was my self-talk. Three things I did was (and it started the ball rolling for me):
    Found a fun reward for me for having one week of logging…. NO MATTER WHAT!! That habit needed to start to be accountable. And truly face the facts.
    Started morning affirmations that help me throughout the day by reading them again, or seeing the photo affirmations in my head when I need that positive reminder.
    I am a planner, so I was able to plan my food and pre-log; then pack my lunch bag in the morning based on what I planned. Then if I changed or tweaked it was easier to log.
    Would a protein shake help for breakfast? Drink it on the way to work?
    <<hugs>> Remember you need your oxygen mask before you can help others.
    @Bex953172~ poor baby. Hope lil feels better soon. Have a god Wednesday.
    @HEGoddard0928~ Good gym workout. Even though you were over, you logged it.
    @ZizzyBumble~ SMILES everywhere!! Kudos!
    @ginnytez~ I agree my morning at home workouts really starts the day out right. Then I don’t have to worry about fitting it in later, too. Looks like you had a really good Tuesday! Kudos!
    @mytime6630 ~ smiles, smiles! Hugs to you for your daughter.
    @bookmeister86~ you got all those smiles, too. Avoided binging, that’s huge!! Doing good.
    @Elbee1~ Chin up. Keep logging. And it will drop off. Do you do any resistance exercises with weights? Toning? They say muscle burns fat. Just a thought. Or moments of High Intensity in your workout.

    Look forward to catching up with all of you later, tonight.

    Talk badly about myself

    I hope you all have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!!! 💕😎😊

    So I woke up this morning to Rodger talking on the phone, he got his call back to work!!!! April 23, about 3 weeks earlier than last year! I’m so happy, now just for me to get a job. The guy I met with yesterday told me that most people aren’t hiring right now until after our election next week.

    I have my election training this afternoon and need to clean my house at some point this week, it is looking dirty and cluttered! I secretly hope that I get a little time at home by myself when Rodg goes back to work. I have not been home alone in the house for more than an hour in over a year.

    I think it’s going to be a good day!

    Nlmackey98- I am doing the same thing with telling myself no and then doing it. I do it every evening when it comes to snacking. I bought some gum yesterday to see if that helps me at all. Maybe if my mouth is busy doing that it will take away the boredom or whatever it is.
    Maybe I’m just missing something in my diet, I never used to be this bad with evening snacking I’ve always had 1 snack and was satisfied.

    Bex953172 - awe Mama, it sucks when they are sick especially the gross ones. Hope she is feeling better.

    Hegoddard0928 - good news on Matt hopefully that clears fast! I understand about the cursor mocking you, I get that way designing cards and crafts sometimes.

    Ginnytez - I’m not a gym person either, unfortunately I have no room to bring in any equipment.

    Mytime6630 - you are remaining positive and sticking to your plan even when your heart is breaking that is such a huge difference, you need to be so proud of yourself.

    Elbee1 - you are doing great 6 pounds since the first of March is about a pound a week!!!!!

    Johicks - your comment about other people being not as positive, I had the same problem and have worked the last year to really change my attitude and not let anyone else’s get me down. I have found that my positivity is contagious and now others are joining me in being more positive or at least not being vocal about their negativity.

    Clicketykeys - I hope your day gets much better. I agree with you on the standardized testing, I sucked in school, they didn’t teach the way I learn. I only found this out as an adult when I went back to school. I think I could have been a lot more successful if it wasn’t meant for everyone to be the same.
