    Good morning!

    Today's commute was better! Thank goodness.

    Sorry to hear about your ankle @KateNkognito, that stinks. :( Be sure to ice it and raise it at night if possible. Some Tylenol might help too. Feel better! Nice going on the 18:6 fasting! I liked that one a lot when I was home during the heart of the pandemic. BF and I liked to take our time and eat our lunch at 3pm most days!

    Yes, the silly dryer. Made a big "pop" noise and then promptly stopped working. The good thing is the repair people are coming today to look at it. WOO HOO. Fingers crossed that it is just a belt and they can get it back up and running again quickly.

    That's all from here for now. Hope you have a great day and see you soon!

    Today was a good day! I love doing projects with this group of students. They do such a great job. :)
    Ankle is swollen and sore, but I think it is just a strain. I should be able to teach from a chair the next couple of days and then relax all weekend.
    @Meghan509 I am glad the commute was better today! Prayers that the dryer gets fixed! I wouldn't totally mind if ours went out. I have my eye on one that has some fancy features. (Don't tell my husband I said that!)
    Just finished an early dinner and started my fast timer. Doing really well this week. Tomorrow is my son's birthday, so I might skip lunch and save all my calories for dinner.
    Have a lovely end of the week! Be healthy!

    So glad tomorrow is Friday! What do y'all think the odds of a freak snowstorm are? Water main break? Power outage? This teacher would like a day off! :D
    Son decided to celebrate tomorrow evening instead. I have some good fasts in this week. Hopefully the scale will show it after my hormones level out in a few days. Retaining water like Hoover Dam.
    I hope y'all have a great weekend, if I don't remember to check in tomorrow!

    Good morning!

    Anddd I forgot to check in yesterday! LOL So sorry about that.

    Yesterday I pretty much got caught up cleaning out my office cubicle. We are under construction next week while they "reformat" our cubicles to make them a little more private and a tad more post pandemic friendly. Also given the modern times, we need more privacy for Zoom and Video calls. That is pretty much how we roll these days. :)

    The dryer is fixed! Repair guy came Wednesday and diagnosed it with a broken belt. Replaced that, fixed the wonky door since it was having trouble closing nicely, and balanced the machine. Done and done!! Phew.

    @KateNkognito hope you have a good rest of the week of fasts! Sounds awesome. HBD to your son. Enjoy!!

    Have a good day and a nice weekend! I am feeling grateful that I get to work from home next week due to the construction and don't have to deal with traffic. WOO HOO.

    See you soon.

    @Meghan509 Sounds like you are having all the good right now! Fixed dryer. Work from home. What else could a body home for?!
    Good day, overall. Kids are a bit over the top because of the impending holiday, but not too much. Good weekend in store. I hope everyone enjoys it!

    Survived all the teenage boys at my house last night. Not looking forward to teaching on Halloween or the day after. Think happy thoughts for me. I am posting now, in case I am too exhausted to do it tomorrow. I have been doing well lately with weight loss. I am going to start bullet journaling again. It really helps me get my brain straight. Also helps me track and visualize my habits. And it is kind of a mental floss/anti-anxiety tool, too.
    I hope everyone has a great week! Stay healthy!

    Good morning!

    Happy Monday, last day of October and of course Halloween!!

    @KateNkognito glad you survived the teenaged boys! Hope today goes well and the kids are not too crazy today or tomorrow, after candy consumption, etc. LOL
    Hoping you have a great week and a nice loss!

    Bullet journaling sounds awesome. I keep a little to do list on my work computer that I work on and update as needed. Really helps me feel less overwhelmed when I write things down.

    SOOO HAPPY to have a nice week working from home and not having to deal with any traffic. Cube construction is under way!

    Hope you have a great day and a good week ahead. Back tomorrow with a new thread for November! WOW! LOL
