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.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: 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?

Yesterday was the first day since probably last July that I actually drank 2L of water. I also was in the green for only the 2nd time since I started logging again, even with the chips. It's a start, I need to get back at it seriously but I'm finding it so difficult for some reason. I always have an excuse but none of them are helping me.
@Kuhl50 - Love the pics!
I'm at work, so should get at it I guess.
Have a great weekend.

JFT M 8/10 - working in office day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) / 5 somethings
2) Net cals green / 14c water
3) Finalize GA-ROP & submit for review / GA-IT progress / don't let emails get worse
4) 5:00 hair appt (want to look nice in photos for niece's wedding on Sat.)
5) Prep lunch/snacks/water bottle / one chore
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / eye drops / set 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)
Weekend was relaxing but net cals both days were red. Sunday was also frustrating. I was updating our bank accts and financial s/s, and I found a suspicious $6.32 "recurring" charge on our main credit card. Checked with hubby and not a charge either of us made. Also found a previous charge 3 days earlier that got reversed, so guessing that was another attempt on our card. Bah! We just got that card replaced on May 7 due to other fraud! Such a pain bc once we get the new card, I have to update all the scheduled payments again.
Then learned when hubby and I activated our new phones something got screwed up. Now his phone has my number and vice versa. ACK! Hope we can get that fixed quick. At least he doesn't use his much, and I can use my work phone next three days.
@PackerFanInGB I agree with pale yellow for color. Long ago, I was assigned a dorm room that was a dark khaki green, and we painted it pale yellow. When we were only half done, the room was already so much brighter we could turn off half the lights we had on! Btw, I like Lady Lair!
@Kuhl50 Love the photos, thanks for sharing.
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June & July3 -

- get up by 9😁 745 actually. Couldn't stay asleep
- post 😁
- laundromat It was annoying but it's done. I was smart and brought my little Bluetooth keyboard with me and wrote while I sat in my car waiting for it to finish.
- write 1 scene It was actually a rewrite of the first scene that sparked the short story this WIP is an expanded version of...Did that make sense? Lol. There wasn't much in common between the two but it is a good scene. And integral to the plot.
- read 4 blog posts about monetizing blogs Took a lot of notes.
- sweep kitchen and bathroom / Swept the kitchen and broke down and tied up a giant pile of cardboard but I didn't sweep the bathroom. The floor was wet because both Matt and I took showers and then I completely forgot about it until I just read it here.
- clean office Much better feeling!
- write 1 blog post I moved this to today.
So yesterday wasn't too bad goal wise. I got a decent amount done. The A/C at Matt's job STILL isn't fixed. They're saying it'll be fixed sometime today. Who knows. But his manager gave all the associates these things called Mission Towels. Pretty much they're a weird feeling material that keeps you nice and cool if you wet it. He said it made a HUGE difference. So that's good. He's gonna keep using it even after the A/C is fixed because corporate is the one who controls the store temperature for the whole company. Their idea of a comfortable temperature is 78F. That is NOT comfy in the summer. At least not here where the humidity sucks But hopefully this towel keeps helping.
My little elliptical stepper thing came yesterday. Almost a week and a half early. Lol. Unfortunately, my desk is a little too low to the ground to be able to use it the way I'd wanted to but I've been experimenting with it and it seems like I should be able to use it while sitting at the kitchen table. So I'm gonna try and work there today and see how it goes. I'm very excited about it. It has a calorie counter on it but I don't think it's very accurate so I'm going to stick to using MFP's calculation. Lol
Okay, onto some goals for the day.
Today I will:
- up at 9 Forgot to set the alarm last night. Didn't get out of bed until after 11
- post
- look at 400 Pinterest group boards post
- write 1 blog post
- read 1 blog on affiliate marketing
- look at 3 affiliate marketing websites
- figure out stepper
- write next scene4 -
@kuhl50 what a beautiful place!! Where is that?!
The sunset photo is the quiet alpine lake where we camp and kayak, south and east of Lake Tahoe (in the California Sierra mountains). Because it’s shallow and remote from services it’s great for kayaking and SUPing and the ski boats don’t bother with it.
The second photo is a smaller lake that is the “big hike “ each time we go (9 miles, lots of elevation and very little shade).
Our 10th year (with one skip) of going up there with our girls. Always a wonderful break from “real life”!5 -

I used to love hiking with my parents. Very lovely views! There's even a walk over here.. its pretty easy but you can walk around an old plane wreckage. There's not much left of the plane left, they obviously took alot of it but its still interesting.. although i can't remember the relevance of the plane if any? Ill probably check later tonight now lol.
We did one which was 6 hours and thats lots of elevation etc. lol our family used to always say it was killer on the hips going up and a nightmare on the knees coming down haha.3 -

- Fill out NoBS 24H Plan

Yesterday was a day of rest for me. I spent a lot of time in my "lair" but not actually working on it. I have one area with a recliner, a wooden rocking chair, a futon, stereo with my old albums and CDs, and a tv. I have some candles scattered about also. I turned on the "rain" app and lit candles for ambiance, and then I spent most of the afternoon in the recliner icing my knee and reading. It was really relaxing. I spent some time on Pinterest and YouTube looking at table runners/table toppers and decided on a patchwork colorful simple runner. I think it will add a lot of color to our diningroom. We need it! Everything in our house is beige, white, brown or forest green. My husband has been home retired for 4 years and that is how he has pretty much decorated. Now that I'm home every day too, I am shaking things up a bit. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me doing that, but guess who is doing it anyway? bahahaha!
After I finish the table runner, I plan to make a quilted wall hanging of some sort. I need to establish a hobby and a routine. I'm getting very depressed not working...it feels like I have no purpose and it's not a good feeling right now. I know if I end up having to find a job, I'll wish I was still home with no purpose, so I am trying to just settle in and move on. It's been tough mentally though. I didn't expect it to be, so I'm a bit surprised at how my brain has turned on me!
I want to thank everyone for the color suggestions for the Lady Lair. I love pale yellow...actually that is the color I have always wanted our kitchen! I think it is the most cheerful color there is. My husband wants me to stick with white and then add color by hanging things on walls and decorations set out. So, I'm going to pitch pale yellow to him and maybe we can compromise, or maybe he will stick to wanting white downstairs but FINALLY paint the kitchen yellow! Either way, it's a win for me!
@Kuhl50 Your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Breathtaking! I get a sense of peace just looking at them. I think I need to plan a 3 or 4 day trip up north...or a few day trips at least.
@HEGoddard0928 How is the blog going? Are you still writing in it? I'm still working up the nerve to try starting one myself!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I sure did miss y'all! :flowerforyou:

@Kuhl50 I did a lot of backpacking and hiking when I was a teenager! At 14 I went on a 10 day backpacking trip in New Mexico. A group of us did 85 miles! One of my dreams that I know will never happen is to do a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. Maine to Georgia. I actually have take a hike on my vision board for this year! Lol
@Bex953172 Did you do your challenge for the day??? Where's that bum...I mean 🍑!
@PackerFanInGB My parents kitchen is pale yellow and white! I guess it's a popular kitchen color. Lol. It is definitely bright in there. One wall is also just a pair of French doors too so that helps. What is +2 hunger scale? I'm really intrigued. Lol. And yes I'm still working on the blog. That's actually what most of my goals for today are about. I'm actually in the middle of writing tomorrow's post! Haha1 -

@PackerFanInGB
The kitchen in our first house was pale yellow. Such a sunny colour!1 -
When I was in Grade 6, my Mom and Grandmother surprised me for my birthday and wallpapered my room. It was a yellow and white striped paper. My window faced East and it was the coziest room to wake up in. We had no neighbours and were very far from the road so I didn’t have curtains or blinds. The only thing I hated was in the summer I would have birds sit on my windowsill and sing very early in the morning. At night I would fall asleep watching fireflies in the field.
I wish I had appreciated my scenery more growing up.6 -
Well yesterday was a bit of a busy health wise. I forgot how hard it is to stay on track when you have visitors staying over. This morning I have got in a nice early run and hoping I can be a bit more disciplined.
Feeling very wistful about holidays with all this talk of hiking tours! I’m doing my best to enjoy the outdoors in this hot weather but even the greenest parts of London don’t compare...
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone xx

Are we starting a new trend? I was sitting in my little porch last night thinking the wall would look nicer painted pale yellow lol. Unfortunately the wall is covered in a really bumpy jaggy artex, I would love it to be smooth. So might hold off until I can change it. I need to spend my first winter in this house before I decide, I think the porch leaks.

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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: 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?
WFTY: Progress. Not making progress right now. I need to develop some more coping strategies. I haven't been just gorging or drinking myself into a stupor, but it's been enough that I'm undoing some of the progress I'd made earlier this year.5 -
