    @hippysprout How are you doing on your JFT? Taking it one day at a time is one of the keys to my losing weight.

    Hey everyone! Thanks for asking how the course went!
    I got there with a minute to spare, after we all sat down, there was a bit of dawdling where they told us to just write our names on our whiteboard name plaque (you know like you get on proper office desks but just a whiteboard one) and to write our name on the booklet, the tutors asked eschother if they were waiting on anyone 5 mins later and when they decided that 1 person hadn't showed they officially introduced the course so i made it in good time!

    And it was great! The tutors were really nice, they kept cracking jokes and it was all really relaxed and fun! But we all also learnt alot!
    So yeah all good there!
    Ironically i had to speed a little to get there but atleast its out the way and i took something from it!


    Date night was amazing! Nice walk to town, a few drinks, AMAZING food! I felt like i looked really great in my dress so felt confident too! Little bit of sexy time and then watched a bit more of a box set. And then a lie in this morning! To 11.30AM!! Not slept in that long for 5 years haha!
    We went to the shopping centre today, we were going to go cinema but decided to watch a film at home instead :)

    disappeared. ARRRGH!
    I LOVE YOU DEARLY Sister. Just got more going on than I care to discuss.. Basically I've been posting food and
    logging out. However, my love and enthusiasm for you ladies hasn't changed. I love you all beyond words.

Remind D to ask his dad about the table. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Schedule assessments and return dates (check last term's plans for unit length). Put jewelry away. Fold laundry. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 193.2

    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).
    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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
    6. Medical: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: MM auditions 6/22-23. Practice songs.
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. Well, fortunately, despite lifting again, at least I'm not seeing a gain. So maybe I just didn't drop the water weight in a week. Might've been all that time outdoors. It is SOOO hot. I am 10000% ready for the temperature to start dropping again. I don't think it's supposed to until after next week though. UGH.

    A tough day again yesterday, black PMT mood still with me. It was ok in the morning after exercising - I had those endorphins buzzing around - but they wore off in the afternoon and by the end of work I just felt drained, depressed and also angry all at the same time.

    I resisted snacks on the way home but then when I got home I hit the roof when I saw someone had parked in our parking space, again. We don't really use it as we don't have a car, but we do sometimes when we hire cars - as we are going to this weekend and as we probably will start doing more often soon as we have just joined a car club that means we will probably use one a bit more regularly. I'd left them a polite note on their windscreen in the morning asking them to please park somewhere else and they had basically removed the note and then left their car there. I was so mad. Obviously my first thought was that they were just a&&holes who didn't care and that we were going to get stuck with this situation. It's weird, it made me feel a bit invaded - I felt that it was OUR space and that it was being violated somehow.

    So, wine was had, again. And we had a nice evening and I cheered up. And then! The doorbell rang and it was a lady from upstairs who turned out to be the lady who had parked in our space. Turns out her estate agent had told her it was her space. And this was after them previously telling her that another space was hers and someone else leaving a note on her car..... Poor thing! She promised to ring them in the morning to get to the bottom of it.

    This made me feel, like, a million times better. I had been (unsuccessfully) trying to calm myself down earlier, and to think of a positive reason for the situation that wasn't just the person being an a&&hole, but I didn't manage very well. Then it turned out it was genuinely a mistake! This has made me feel like, it is ALWAYS worth trying to look on the positive side. Despite what we (or I, maybe it's just me) often think, most people ARE nice.

    So I'm feeling better today. Perhaps PMT is passing too....

    Another thing that happened yesterday is that I realised that it's not just being bored by my work that is depressing me. It's lack of social interaction. I used to have loads of meetings - too many in fact, they stopped me getting on with my work, but they did give me social interaction which, as a slight extrovert, is important to me. Now, because of the current work environment, I have hardly any. And in addition to that, I now work on the 'mezzanine' floor which has half as many people, and sometimes can be really empty. Yesterday there were literally about ten people in the whole thing - three from my team (of fifteen). I think this lack of interaction is a big part of why I'm feeling depressed at the end of the day.

    But the good thing is, I can do something about that! There are lots of people I can arrange coffees with. After my holiday next week, I will start to do that again. And also, I think I will make the effort to go and sit on the busier floor when it's quiet in the mezzanine. It's difficult because I actually have a special chair for back support, which lives on the mezzanine. But I reckon I could do without it for half a day....

    Oh, and other good news! You might or might not remember that the acting CEO agreed to have a meeting with me to talk about my career, though said it might take a while before she could fit it in. I hadn't heard anything in a couple of weeks, and was starting to feel quite disillusioned. Well, her PA got in touch yesterday and it turns out she (PA) was away and that's why nothing had happened - nothing about my priority or otherwise. And it is now set up - and really positively, she has slotted it in the day before the CEO goes on leave for ten days. I feel like this has got to be a good sign in terms of how much of a priority she sees me as ...? (And hence my chances of getting something out of it).

    So now I just have to work out what I actually want to say/ achieve....

    Anyway, I've waffled on long enough.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    Morning all, a mixed day for me yesterday. Got a nice long run in which was good, though I’m sore in the hips today so skipping Warrior class. Was also up super late with bf on ‘date night’ (and indulging quite a lot) but it was a bit of a disaster as he had had a minor motorbike injury and was in pain so basically arrived late, grimaced for a few hours and then went home! Our attempts to try and progress our relationship seem a bit doomed! Tonight I may go to our school’s Year 6 play but I’m super tired after less than 4 hours’ sleep. Feel a bit guilty about skipping it but I really feel like tonight I may need some self-care! Anyway, onto the goals...

    - morning run ✅ 10 miles/16km
    - pack snacks and schoolbag ✅

    - planning time (work on video) ✅
    - home lunchtime for car and shake ✅
    - cover after-school club ✅
    - leave by 5 ✅

    JFT Thursday 11th July

    Log everything
    Stay under maintenance
    Back exercises

    Today will not be a good dieting day as I'm meeting family for afternoon tea. Never actually had a proper afternoon tea before, but expect it to be sandwiches, scones, cakes. All stodgy and not good for calorie counting! Not the best, but we don't manage all 6 of us getting together very often, so not going to miss it.

    Just realised that several pounds ago I moved from obese BMI to overweight. Next stop, normal :)

    Another grey and wet start to the day, the weather is supposed to improve soon. Hoping your days go according to plan.

    I'm waiting for my guests to return from their meal at the local Michelain starred restaurant and watching the end of a lovely sunset. The sea is very calm and there are lovely greys, pinks and oranges reflected in it. It's very calming to look at. The weather improved and I walked along the beach today and enjoyed the sound of the water. Good night all.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.6

    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). 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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
    6. Medical: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: MM auditions 6/22-23. Practice songs.
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    JFT Thursday 11th July

    Log everything no
    Stay under maintenance perhaps, not sure
    Back exercises no
    Lift the big bag no

    So yesterday was a No all round. The afternoon tea was quite restrained, a few sandwiches, one scone, one small piece of traybake. So that replaced my evening meal.

    Back on it today.

    JFT Friday 12th July

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Stay positive
    Visit parents

    Son and family are going on holiday today, so I've had the baby this morning while they packed as he was being very grumpy. I do love a bit of baby sitting :)
    So I've now swapped baby for the dog, have the dog and 2 cats until they are back. Even better, I don't have to work this weekend :)

    I haven't posted or had time to read since June 28th except for the couple of pictures I posted. It has been a whirlwind and I have missed you all so much!

    Rodger's mom went home on Wednesday and I took my best friend (Cheryle) to the airport at 5am this morning. I was trying to have a nap before going to work, but couldn't get to sleep so decided to log on and read. I am back on page 321 so will have to catch up.

    I have gained about 12 lbs over the last couple of weeks, I know a lot of that right now is lack of water, too many carbs, sodium and pop. I plan on resting this weekend and getting back into a routine come Monday.

    The wedding was absolutely beautiful, Kaitlyn and Brodey had some surprises for his Mom and I that teared us up. After their vows were spoken the officiant asked his Mother (Linda) and I to join them. She went on to say that Linda and I knew them before they were even born, we were their first kiss in this world and they felt it was appropriate that we give them their last kiss before they celebrated their first kiss as man and wife. Well.... you can imagine how that made us feel. Then after all of the first dances, Kaitlyn had the DJ invite me up on the dance floor to dance with her. She chose Mama's Song by Carrie Underwood. This song came out in 2009, the year Kaitlyn and Brodey met and she played it for me that year when she moved two provinces away to be with him.

    After the family photos were taken, before the photographer started with the bridal party photos and some of Kaitlyn and Brodey alone she had Rodger's Mom, Rodger and I, Brodey's Mom, and Cheryle sit while wearing a microphone and asked us questions about Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn and Brodey and our relationships. They will be using this narrative over some video of different parts of the wedding where there wasn't much talking.

    They had 21 children at their wedding and you wouldn't have known there was even one because they had a bouncy house. It was supposed to be a wedding themed one, but due to an error by the company, they ended up with a massive obstacle course one. Guess where all of the kids were? My best friend decided her and I were still 10, not 50 and that we should go in the bouncy house. A few drinks in and I agreed. We went in and it had rained so it was a bit slippery, the photographer went in with us so she could capture it, she asked us to move to a different location and my left leg went sort of behind me and out to the side all at the same time. I still have a sore hip, but it is better than it was.

    If you are interested this is a link to the photographer's blog and sneak peek of the photographs. I promise I'll stop talking about it soon!
