@mytime6630 - sorry to read about your son, hope he recovers soon.
I haven’t made it on for a few days I’ve been letting all the Covid stuff get to me and eating my way through it. This is not helpful. I’m happy to say that our first resident that tested positive is now considered recovered, he was not sick at all. Unfortunately we’ve lost 4 and have many more cases.
I’ll try to post goals tomorrow.

End of August: 189.8
End of September: 191.0
End of October: 189.4
End of November: 192.6
Today: 191.2
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. 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. When is re-up with ortho? Schedule PCP for same day.
7. Theater: Podcast. Youtube.
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: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. 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. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: squats, 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. I went to bed early and I'm STILL tired.2 -

I'm going to start small and go from there. Right now I need to concentrate on these two things and I know that will help. My eating is out of control and the scale shows it. It only takes a week of bad eating and not enough water to make a huge difference for me.4 -

@WellingTX I love your self-knowledge. Realising that we will have off days, and learning to rise above them is a major part of progression. Keeping your WHY in focus is crucial to changing habits.
@PackerFanInGB Tracie, keep it up. It's very effective. I used to do the sticky note thing. I may have to introduce it. I like the idea of signing your post. Especially useful for new members to get to know us.
Live long and proper! (Spock)

I love you Terri. You've been an awesome part of this family ever since you joined. Love the way you log, comment, and inspire all of us. You really brought something special to our group. Guess what that is?... YOU🤗😍😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Just love ya girl1 -
HEGoddard0928 wrote: »Hey guys! It's been a little while. I've been battling a killer cold. I'm off from school today for a Jewish holiday and IT'S MY BIRTHDAY so I'm able to stay home and rest some more. Lol. I'm going to go to the doctor today to make sure it isn't bronchitis. I'm a bit worried it is because the mucus I've been coughing up is yellow. My mom always said that that's the sign of an infection. Lol. We'll see.
Turns out I'm not pregnant. I took the test yesterday morning.
Matt's incredibly depressed about it. I really thought I was since my flow came almost a week late. It's really disappointing but I think Matt's having a harder time dealing with it then I am. So I'm going to call my doctor this morning and set up a consult which is the first step to seeing the fertility specialist. Matt's convinced that it's his fault I can't concieve. He had an injury down there when he was a young adult man did a lot of drugs and alcohol before he met me. I think we simply don't have enough sex. But to make him feel better we're going to get tested for sterility. Is that even a word? Lol.
I have a whole bunch of other phone calls I have to make today too. I have to call Walgreens and demand a refund. I was trying to pay for a curbside pick up order (that never went though)but kept getting error messages whenever I tried to submit my order. Then about ten minutes after I gave up I got alerts from my bank that I had 5 charges from them. Le sigh. I hate fighting with companies about this *kitten*.
Okay, enough complaining onto some goals!
Today I will:
- post 😁
- take meds😁
- feed my parent's animals(last time! YAY!)
- put the damn clothes away!
- DISHWASHER!!! (It's starting to get pretty gross)
- call doctor re sick appt
- call Walgreems re refund for failed online order
- call NDOBGYN re fertility consult
- call work re out of work tomorrow and Friday
- go to doctor if appt available
- pick up meds(if applicable)
- lots of tea/water/vitamin C
I think that's it for the moment. Lol
Sorry I missed your birthday. I love you so very much. You're an awesome person. So glad we are connected. You fill my heart with gladness. Thank you for being here.🤗❤🌹0 -

Hi everyone. I'm aiming to go from 245lbsish down to 111-120lbs. I'm also aiming to tone up. My pet peeve is treadmills and gyms right now so Im doing long walks, biking, dancing at home, and yoga at home.
Today's goal is to belly dance at home then do a few Just Dance songs with my kid.
I've been slowly gaining control of my food intake so it'll be a small portion for dinner tonight and a liter of water until bed.
Good luck everyone.

I understand this so much .. this is like me. When I concentrate and stay focused, not only do I feel better, but the scale will reflect .. slowly... but it does reflect my changes. Right now, like so many, I am totally out of control with food and just not caring. I think this covid has affected so many.
You have great goals .. small goals that might be doable. Hang in there.. we are all in this together!4 -

A nippy 18F (-7.8C) this morning for our walk, but little to no wind, and that makes a huge difference. Plus I wore my winter stuff & layers. Dog and I all lit up with our LED & high viz/reflective gear on. Then we were surprised to walk part way with Kim & Bogie, both of us out early since she & I have to work on-site today. Nice start to the day, now the sun is shining & I already have 10k steps.
Since Advent has started, I'm reading one chapter from the book of Luke every day, starting Dec. 1. I started this last year, but didn't finish, so I'm posting here on JFT. There are 24 chapters.
