    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
    Daily Goals

    Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.

    Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

    Daily habits: track, 😀exercise, 😀journal😀
    Friday Action Plan
    1. Wake 0630, pill, 12 squats, shower & get ready, pill🤨—no squats
    2. Take dog out for short walk😀
    3. Put water bottle and banana next to laptop😀
    4. Computer on, ready to interview at 0745😀
    5. Healthy breakfast after interview 😀
    6. Make a salad + protein + apple + water bottle for lunch🤨—ate ok but didn’t stop to make a salad
    7. Fitness walk, yoga stretches👿
    8. Purchase and make healthy dinner🤨—made one from left overs
    9. Finish returns👿
    10. Upstairs by 10, journal, lights out 10:45

    Life has definitely changed. (I’m in CA near SF—many cases in my county) Daily calls and emails for the latest update on how the company wants us as local leadership to deal with the situation. Work at home for the foreseeable future. Make sure everyone is safe. Replan the year. And now the kids school just closed for about a month (basically 3 weeks, then spring break). My personal health worry isn’t high, and my parents are playing it smart and holing up. But my head is spinning trying to figure out what it will take to get through the next few weeks (months?)

    Daily habits: track, exercise,journal
    Saturday Action Plan
    1. No alarm wake, pill, run app—W6D1, yoga, pill
    2. Healthy breakfast
    3. Finish cleaning kitchen and desk
    4. Choose healthy lunch
    5. Figure out desk situation for next week
    6. Finish returns

    It’s Saturday!
    Just another work day for me so sitting here w my first cup of coffee trying to get my mind right.

    Yesterday I barely was within my goal ... made it but also learned once again pizza is just plain evil.
    The dang cheese just has so many calories and for what you get out of it you may as well call it junk food.

    Anyway goals for today:

    Probable goals:
    Stay green
    No beer or booze
    No snacks after 7

    IF I get home on time goals:
    (weekends I never know... instead of working 8-4 I’m working till the works done so could leave at 2p or could be 7p) .
    Sufferfest
    13 pull-ups
    500 or more calories in green
    No snacks after 7
    No beer or booze

    JFT Saturday
    1. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Balance work. Feed cats. Meds. Tea! Review plans. Jeans?
    2. Library - return books, check out maybe a few more.
    3. Bike shopping.
    4. Bike ride or running.
    5. Rock City?
    6. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water!
    7. Read. Update Goodreads. Yoga with core/balance work. Email B. Email student. Message Z.
    8. Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth.
    9. 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. Monday - Vocab Week 4. Challenge book 2 discussion Friday; update due Monday. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    Scale goals
    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
    Today: 197.6

    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. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. 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 Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
    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 new bikes and bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Find cousin photos.

    WFTY: Progress. Did five miles Thursday, so that was good. An hour before the end of the school day we found out that we'll be closed for the next three weeks. I've brought all my grading and planning home and I need to figure out what gets done when. I'm going to try to have all the grading done the first week. I'm hoping to spend the following weeks reading and developing plans for the new World Literature course. I've finished one of the books I'm considering and I have four more checked out.

    Might also start a garden. I always say I want to and we've lived in this house for ten years and I never yet have.
