    When the alarm went off at 5:40 I just couldn't get myself to get up before sunrise to walk dog. So reset alarm and dozed off. I need to get over this, because the summer is gone and it's only going to be darker longer. Plus dog really wants our walks together. And I need the exercise calories. :#

    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" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K w/ dog 8/29/20 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36
    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 & July

    Today I will:
    - up whenever😁
    - post 😁
    - take pill😁
    - finish scene 😁I almost didn't as my mood tanked last night but I ended up moving into the bedroom away from the TV and set up my tablet and little keyboard. I propped myself up in bed and managed to get it done! Only 4 more scenes left!
    - go through email 😁
    - email P😥
    - peddle😥Poor mood
    - cook dinner😥Matt wanted take out. Thinking about it now, this poor food choice might have caused the poor mood
    - NO CHOCOLATE 😐 only a chocolate covered ice cream bar. I'm going to take this as a win because I didn't go out and get a bunch of candy or anything
    - Walmart😥 moved to today.

    Posting my goals late today. I slept in late again this morning. I need to stop doing this. I go to bed at a decent time and then spend too much time asleep then I wake up groggy and out of sorts. Definitely not a good thing.

    Matt's schedule got moved around today and no one told him. He got to work at 545am and found out he didn't need to be there until 3pm. The other crappy thing about it is that he's losing 3 hours because he's going from a 10hr shift to a 7hr shift. When you're on a very tight budget 3 hrs is a lot of money lost.

    Onto some goals.
    Today I will:

    - up by 10 😥
    - post 😁
    - pill 😁
    - Walmart
    - actually cook myself dinner
    - walk
    - Do not buy cookies at Walmart!
    - 50 word challenge

    Super simple today.

    @Snowflake1968
    I have the same problem with retention at times. The extra water definitely helps. Sorry about your back. A comfortable bed is so important. I hope something turns up and you can get it sorted soon.

    @PackerFanInGB
    I hope you can get something sorted soon.

    @littleblackskirt
    It's difficult to deal with the munchies problem. I find it easier to just limit the amount of my trigger foods so that if I scoff the lot the damage is minimal.

    @Faebert
    Hugs on the problems of coordinating school/work etc. .

    @teigansdad
    😪 Poor wee dog. We have our fur babies for a such short time. Letting them go iscso sad.

    @pridesabtch
    Pah! Bureaucracy!!! At least she is philosophical about it. Cut yourself some slack.

    We met up with our younger daughter to walk her dogs on the beach before dinner tonight. Really enjoyed it, but will suffer tomorrow as I had already exceeded my step goal for today and did another 5000 onnthe beach walk. My thighs and gluteus are not happy. 😂

      End of June: 192.2
      End of July: 188.6
      Today: 189.7

      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 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: ???
      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.

      Today I will:

      - up by 10 😥
      - post 😁
      - pill 😁
      - Walmart😁
      - actually cook myself dinner :smiley:Cooked myself my steak and then at like 11:30pm made myself a salad
      - walk 😁 Only about 15 min but it was something
      - Do not buy cookies at Walmart! 😁
      - 50 word challenge 😁 About half the previous scene didn't save so I had to rewrite that, but I think it came out better and wrote the next scene to it.

      Had a good day yesterday. Got some good writing done. Took a short walk. Did a quick Walmart trip. Just a simple easy day.

      Posting my goals late today. I wanted to get up at 9 am today but that didn't happen. I ended up resetting the alarm for 10. I was only awake for about 15 minutes before I went back to sleep and didn't get up until 12:30.

      Oh! Something else I learned yesterday! I'm back to school on Tuesday and have a PD day tomorrow! I'm so excited! I can't wait to be working again. I miss it. I need to have some semblance of a schedule and this will do that. The day starts at 8 and ends at 2. So it's only a 6 hour day but it's enough to keep me busy. The only kind of annoying thing is that Matt's manager keeps scheduling him for closing shifts for selfish reasons. So he'll be starting work when I'm leaving work and he'll be getting home when I'm going to bed. Hopefully, his manager schedules him for some morning shifts soon too. But either way, I'm glad to be going back to work!

      I've completed most of my goals for the day already but I'm going to put them on my list anyway.

      Today I will:
      - up at 9 😥
      - Walmart 😁
      - dishwasher😁
      - post😁
      - take pill😁
      - liquor store😁
      - paystub😁
      - write climax scene
      - video chat with T

      Still catching up on the first series of FORT SALEM
      Still sticking with my goals. Consolidating my new normal.
      Nothing strange or startling to relate.
      Just taking it day by day, step by step.

      Great things are done by a series of small things brought together
      (Vincent Van Gogh)

        End of 2017: 174.6
        End of 2018: 189.2
        End of 2019: 196.4
        End of January: 194.6
        End of February: 196.2
        End of March: 193.8

        End of June: 192.2
        End of July: 188.6
        Today: 189.7

        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 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: ???
        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.

        Hospital appointment Inconclusive, either A or B, not able to be x-rayed. X-ray department working reduced capacity (understandable) and "my" doctor was not allocated any spaces that day, so not sure why I was there. Going back in 3 months.
        Weekly shop as I was in town I went to a "big food shop" first time since March. Went a bit overboard buying different (and cheaper!) things. Will have plenty to eat for a while, everything was healthy, except the cake...or is carrot cake healthy lol.

        JFT Goals
        - Eggs for breakfast :smiley:
        - work stuff from home :smiley:
        - senior pictures in a beautiful yet remote location 2 hours away :smiley:
        - Log :smiley:

        Well I met my goals yesterday, but I was over on calories, but within maintenance. Senior pictures seemed to go really well. I'm excited to see them.

        My bike budget has switched to a single sculling boat budget for my daughter. Tim and I are going to postpone our big biking trip for a year or two to give S this opportunity. I'm really glad we can do it. Besides in a few years both girls will be out of the house and logistics for the ride will be much better.

        I also started the ball rolling for my younger daughter to be a foreign exchange student next year. She wants to go to Japan. She is taking on-line Japanese this year in high school and I figure if she is determined enough to learn the language the least I can do is check it out. It may be cost prohibitive, but you never know until you ask.

        JFT Thursday
        - Work early :smiley:
        - V to doctor appt at 9:30
        - back to work
        - If not raining ride after work. If raining Peleton
        - Log
        - No sweets during the day. If ok on calories have a SMALL bowl of the salted caramel chocolate chip ice cream hubby made for an evening snack. Maybe if I have something to look forward to the day time temptations will be easier to resist.

        Have a great day y'all!
