    @Snowflake1968 Love the photo. What a handsome young man! I can't tell if the photo is indoors our outside. Is that a decorative panell? Or a huge bug hotel? above your heads? Either way, it's cool!

    It is inside, this is a piece of art my husband made for me. It is different end cut pieces of wood in a frame. I’ll get a picture of it later.

    Saturday 14 September

    I failed to post goals today but I've done alright apart from some chocolate cake. My Fitbit has vastly overestimated the number of stairs I've climbed, it counted stairs even when I was sitting down! A quick Google search suggests it's been affected by the storm we had today. I will see what it does tomorrow!

    JFT 9/14 Recap

    30 minutes exercise :)
    Drink lots of water :)
    Mostly healthy choices :)
    Relax and have fun with family :)

    Did well today. Went over a little on calories but not by too much. Got my 30 minutes of running/walking in though it wasn't pleasant bc it was so humid here today. Went to see Brittany Runs a Marathon, it was really good, and got to have some treats but made breakfast and dinner at home. Overall, a pretty great day. I have to work tomorrow, but I have the whole morning to get in some exercise and relax so I call it a win. I have an incredibly busy week ahead so looking forward to mostly down time tomorrow.

    Well I didn’t get a chance to post goals today and I didn’t even log my food. Tomorrow and Sunday is going to be busy again. I really need to start buckling down again but can’t see that happening this weekend at all. So I guess I’ll restart on Monday.

    This is Jonah and I taking our birthday selfie this year. I can’t believe he’s 8 already. He’s wearing the bow tie he wore at the wedding along with his pants and his shoes. He loves this little outfit he says he’s like Young Sheldon.

    Sunday 15 September

    Rather late to post goals for today. I'm behind on the water again and don't think I am likely to catch up before bed. I've been out for a walk and will meet my Fitbit excercise goals by bedtime. I need to catch up on my logging of food and it will be boarder line as I ate the remaining piece of chocolate cake once I'd had my healthy salad lunch!

    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: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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. 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: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Mamma Mia. Next?
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
    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. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. Opening weekend is almost over. I'm SO looking forward to having my evenings (mostly) free.

    journal :)

    Did not exercise at all today, just lazed around all morning until I had to work. I'll have to make it up tomorrow, not sure when but I will do it! My legs are sore from running yesterday still, not sure what I did but my form must have not been very good. Stopped for a pumpkin spice latte and then ate two cookies at my open house so went over in calories. But did eat all meals at home and didn't overeat so that's a plus. Tomorrow will be a better day.
