@mytime6630 - 6 lbs is not much at all! I am only 5 lbs from where I started two years ago, at a weight I swore I would never see again. I am struggling so hard to get into a routine and to start doing anything about it. I can give every excuse there is, but truthfully that's all they are is excuses.
@Bex953172 - I don't like moths either, so I don't blame you for making Ash deal with them.
Back to work today after the nice long weekend. I am not feeling it!

@mytime6630
Joan, good to see you back. You’re doing well so don’t beat yourself up too much on those six lbs. I can empathise. Those last few lbs are so stubborn to shift.

I live on the East Coast about 5 miles from the ocean. We had a tropical storm come through last night/this morning and this happened.
There was about 2 feet of that branch impaled through my roof. Thankfully it didn't go through my ceiling. Just a steady drip. Daddy was amazing and climbed up on the roof in the rain and hacked the thing up with a hand saw and put a tarp over it. I woke up this morning to him securing on another tarp because we were supposed to get more rain. He's going to actually fix it over the weekend.
That's Matt in the photo. Lol.
That's the rest of the branches that came down. Thankfully there was no more damage. I was standing next to the house when that branch in the corner fell through. Scared the *kitten* out of me so I ran back inside.4 -
1. log all food -- 1st time in a long time that I took the time to track everything I ate!
2. go for long walk in the morning .. 6 miles. It helps when I can get up at 8 for my walk .. I am home by 10, take my shower, and make brunch for hubby and I. Hubby gets up at 8, but he has to answer emails while I walk. So if I don't walk, I'm just waiting until he is ready for breakfast, so this works for us.
Headed out for a walk, but ended up only walking about 1.5 miles .. I was just so tired. I think from not sleeping much the past few nites.
So after breakfast, hubby wanted a nap, so I took one also. It really helped. Got the garage cleaned out ... tons of boxes broken down for recycling, and mowed the entire yard .. which takes me 2 hrs. So... a good day. Weather was absolutely beautiful out!
3. concentrate on water Even though I am drinking crystal lite ... I am counting it as water.
Our daughter came out today .. in much better spirits. I ordered some things from Walmart for her ... a book, a candle, some snacks, etc. So I feel so much better. I have to remember. . there will be good days, and bad days. When the bad days happen, as with all of us, I have to remember that the bad days will pass, and hopefully the next day will be better.
Goals for tomorrow
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. help hubby with shipping
4. try and get 6 mile walk in before breakfast
5. get back on here .. be accountable

@Snowflake1968 --- I know that the 6 lbs is not much ... but I also know how easy the weight can come back on. I am hoping I can reel this in and get back on track before I end up gaining it all back. It is so hard ... isn't it. But you are doing great yourself! So proud of you.
@HEGoddard0928 -- wow -- that is a lot of damage! I am so sorry for all those in the path, especially with the virus going on as well. You stay safe. Hugs.
@pridesabtch - are you riding a regular bike, or your peleton? Hubby fixed my bike... I keep meaning to get out and ride it. I took it out twice, and each time enjoyed it so much. I don't know why its so hard to just get on it and ride.. somehow I always just walk instead.
@Bex953172 - oh bex, a house full of moths! I would freak out also! I hate spiders, or anything like that in the house. Hubby usually kills them for me .. I guess I am a big wimp also! You know how he kills them... he sprays hair spray on them. He says it makes their wings stick together and they can't fly. So if you have a can of hairspray around ... maybe try that. I hope Ash gets all of them though!
And oh yes... I did see my messages. Somehow when I log in, I just go to the discussion, and I was not seeing them.!
@TerriRichardson112 -- I LOVE this that you put at the end of your posts:
Active rest day
H ~ Am I Hungry?
A ~ Am I Angry?
L ~ Am I Lonely?
T ~ Am I Tired?
Something I'm going to print and look at often!
Love being back with you guys.. and going to try better at keeping up on here!

Afternoon everyone!
I only got up at like 10:15. It's already 1:16 and I've gotten a few things done! Matt works until 10 tonight so I'm gonna try and find the motivation to do a few more things as well.
I did a bit of soul searching last night after dealing with some depression the last few days. And have come up with a list of things to do by the end of the month. School is supposed to start back up again on Sept 3rd. I don't know if that's going to happen or if I'll even have a job if it does. But if it does, I want to have this list completed. I'm going to try and tackle one or two things a day. Some can be done immediately while others may take some time but I want to get them done!
So here's the list:
- finish writing USS
- do 1 round of edits on DT
- start outline for next novel
- come up with a list of 10 topics to blog about
- stick to my blogging schedule
- deep clean kitchen/bathroom/2nd bedroom
- wash sheets/ALL the towels in the house
- get bigger dresser for clothes/donate what doesnt fit
- bug bomb the house(we have a flea problem because of where we live 😡)
- clean out the front room
- look over vision board again
So here are my goals for today:
- post 😄
- get oil changed 😄
- put air in tires(helped a little old lady fill hers up too. She was adorable) 😄
- go to Walmart 😄
- write two scenes for USS(the two that somehow didn't save. I want to cry)
- make a list of 5 blog post topics
- fold clean clothes
- actually cook dinner
I think that's good for today. I'm still feeling a bit down so I don't want to over do it. It'll just make me feel worse tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone!2 -

End of April: 192.6
End of May: 191.8
End of June: 192.2
End of July: 188.6
Today: 189.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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 discussion board for comments due Friday. 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 call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
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 bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout. Dinners?
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

Busy day today .. helped hubby with shipping, worked in my flower beds for 3 hours pulling weeds. It was the most beautiful day today!
Then . went to the grocery store for us and for our daughter .. I spent $400!!!!!! But by going every month now instead of every week, I am actually saving a lot.. and having to make what I have on hand.
I wanted so badly to buy chips ... but I bought a bag of pretzels instead. (Oh .. and 2 large bottles of margarita mix LOL!!!). But I spent $150 on our daughter.. so she is stocked up as well, and now I wont' have to go out again for at least a month.
Goals for friday, 8.6
1. go for LONG walk in the morning
2. clean house

@TerriRichardson112 , I also dislike food shopping now. I've not yet cracked how to wear a mask without my glasses steaming up. I try moving them slightly to help, but they're vari-focals, so then I can't see properly
@Snowflake1968 , love your cartoon You missed out birthdays! We are hoping to have a family birthday meal at the weekend, I think the weather will be good enough to sit outside. First birthday celebration since lockdown began, and I expect it will upset my diet littleblackskirt wrote: »

Did a daytime walk and a short bedtime one. I thought I had time to get home before the rain began, but I met several people to chat to and was held up a little bit, so got thoroughly soaked. Why is it you meet people on the day you haven't washed your hair (or even brushed it!) before you go out? And I met my hairdresser too lol.
Frustrating day trying to get in touch with the hospital. The item I handed in for my Dad (an hours drive to do so) has gone missing?!

So, I did strip and remake my bed yesterday. And gathered laundry and took downstairs. So Today -- My only "real" task for today is to get moving on the bedroom!! It's been on my task list for several days. I walk in the door, look around, and leave the room and close the door again. BAH! Just because I don't like the furniture, etc is no reason to let it go so drastically. Need to pull up my Big Girl Panties and GET BUSY!!3 -

@pridesabtch I'm so sorry you had a bad day! Don't let it get you down though! Today is brand new. Pick yourself up, shake off the dirt, and start again!
@mytime6630 Good job not getting the chips! Just don't eat all the pretzels at once now! Lol. Enjoy those margaritas!
@littleblackskirt I've had to walk home on the rain a few times. It's not so bad if it's warm out. But if it's even slightly chilly it's downright miserable. Lol. Hopefully you don't catch a cold!
@cesse47 I always love your little jokes at the top of your posts! Lol. They're the best! Good luck on the bedroom!
@teigansdad I take it you won the race? Haha. Awesome job!
@SERmom3 I need to look over our family budget too! Our spending has gotten outrageous!3 -
