      Hiya everyone!

      I've got stuff to update you all on!

      First, I start work again tomorrow! The school district I work with has full day in-person schooling for their special needs classes. They wanted to wait and see how well the first week went before they brought any more outside help. But I'm back! Thank goodness! I can't wait to get back in the classroom with my kids!

      Second, we figured out what my headaches are from! I saw my doctor a few days ago about a medication issue and brought up the headaches. He said that he thought it was cervicogenic headaches because the pain starts right where the muscles in the back of the neck connect to the back of my skull. He sent me to physical therapy. I had the initial assessment done on Thrusday. My PT thinks that it's because I grind my teeth in my sleep. I had no idea I did that, but Matt confirmed it. Lol. So my jaw muscles never relax. I also have a bit of TMJ(Lockjaw) and two knots in the middle of my jaw muscles. There's also some weakness in my arms that I've been compensating with by using my shoulders and neck. As well as, limited movement when I turn my head to the left...

      So yeah....Lots of things wrong. But there is a nice plus side! I don't have to pay for any of the appts! Or at least not the first 25. Because I hit my personal deductible and out of pocket max with my surgery in February so it's all covered now.

      Third, it's our 6th wedding anniversary today! It's crazy! How did this happen? When did this happen? What? Lol. But it is amazing and I feel happier and more in love every day.

      Today is going to be a bit of a simple day. I'm going to spend some time working on the outline for the next book in the series I'm writing. Now that I'm going back to work I can spend more time writing at school like I did last year. That's how I got a lot of my first MS written last year. Lol

      Okay, onto some goals!

      Today I will:

      - Post :smiley:
      - Work on outline 😁 Got the beginning of it down and got some ideas churning in the back of my head
      - Call about dinner reservations :smiley:
      - La Scala :smiley:
      - Bake cookies 😁 Not the best I've ever made but it's kinda hard to go wrong with chocolate chip. Lol
      - Cancel Matt's appt :smiley:
      - Do jaw exercises! 😁

      School starts today. I slept like absolute trash last night... Again. I laid down at like 730 because I couldn't keep my eyes open and then proceeded to wake up 5 times between then and 1230. And then another 4-5 times between 1230 and 6. It was ridiculous. Sometimes it's the cat being a jerk. Sometimes it's Matt. Sometimes it's the random heartburn I've been getting at night. I just hope I can make it through today fully in charge of my brain.

      I'm doing training today. I'm pretty sure my student is nonverbal because they have me doing functional communication training which is using a device like an iPad or tablet to help my student communicate with others. I know the principles behind the training but have never actually used it. So we'll see how it goes.

      Mom and dad are going away for an extended weekend this weekend coming up so I'll be taking care of the farm animals. I don't mind. I spent some time the other day giving their new horse some love and a good rub down. He's my favorite ever, I think. Lol. He's just a huge moosh. He lapped it all up and didn't get skittish or anything. Lol.

      Okay, into some small goals for today.
      Today I will:

      - First day of work!
      - PT at 6
      - Go see mom
      - Figure out dinner
      - continue working on outline

      I think that's it for today.

      JFT M ~ work in office
      1) Wore our LED & reflective gear & walked dog 3.79 mi before work :smiley: happy dog & happy me
      2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
      3) Net cals green / 14c water
      4) Review background info / GA-IT folder? (waiting on review) / Facebook Live noon / keep up w/ emails & clear more backlog

      6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

      Sat. turned out ok although taking care of things took through late afternoon, and I never walked dog on gorgeous day. But got to spend lots of time w/ hubby as we shopped for & replaced front door deadbolt lock (even rekeyed it so we don't have to swap any keys out), grocery shopped, and got new battery in my car. We ate fast food for lunch on the go & supper wasn't much better. Net cals RED & water low, so that was not so good. Sunday I went to church, walked dog after & ate better, so I'm happy with that. It's life.

      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

        JFT Monday 21st September

        Log everything yes
        Stay in the green yes
        Back exercises no
        Foot exercises no
        Finish laundry yes
        Ironing yes
        Approach local care homes yes, STILL waiting on a call back from one
        Admin did parents, not mine, I must stop pushing mine back, it's important too
        Keep gardening before weather breaks yes, as much as my back would allow

        Got a bit more gardening done, but it's raining today so that's put on hold today. Also did some babysitting, toddlers have such strong opinions on what they want!

        This is frustrating waiting on care home phoning me back, I can't exactly turn up on the doorstep so reliant on phone. The social worker is pushing me for decisions.

        JFT Tuesday 22nd September

        Log everything
        Stay in the green
        Back exercises
        Foot exercises
        Walk
        Phone care home again
