    @Snowflake1968 Congrats on the interview going so well! I think sending a thank you either day would be fine.
    @maryrobinson40 Thanks as always for your never-ending motivation bursts! I love how much positive energy you spread!

    I just have to say how much I appreciate this group. I can always count on this team for understanding and support when I struggle. I really see I was in a bit of a funk this past weekend. Somehow depression never fully goes away. I'm thankful mine is at the point where there are far more good days than bad, and the days my depression does return it's mild by comparison and shorter lived. I was able to shift some things today and get myself to a better mood. I recognize now I had been a bit disconnected from people and overconnected to screen time. Need to remain mindful of this.
    Sounds like I'm not the only one with analysis paralysis! There must be a cure somewhere...

    I had a nice day at work and made a quick marinated chicken with a small red potato with some toppings and steamed veggies for dinner. It was actually pretty tasty :)

    Glad to hear the interview went well @snowflake1968! And what a lot of smiley faces @mytime6630 - you’re smashing it!

    Had a good day yesterday although am worried I’ve set myself up for failure today. Woken by the cat at 2:20am and didn’t get back to sleep. Imagine I’ll be fighting tiredness all day. And have daughter’s concert at 6:30 tonight so dinner will be late. Trying to work out a good plan so that I can manage...

    Monday goals recap:
    - morning workout ✅
    - Take leftover cake ✅ and lunchtime shake ❎ (no room!) to work
    - Put away last laundry load ✅
    - Speak to boss re leaving early next week for kid’s concert ❎ she was too busy
    - Print data ✅
    - Safeguarding training ❎ deadline shifted
    - Early night ❎ not early enough!

    Tuesday goals:
    - morning workout
    - Do little one’s face paint for animal charity walk
    - Reply to parent email on arrival
    - Water - avoid tiredness snacking
    - Speak to boss re leaving early next week
    - Home lunchtime for car and shake
    - Parents evening prep after work
    - Large snack before daughter’s concert or home early for quick dinner
    - Concert at 6:30
    - Early night (non-negotiable, long run and parents eve tomorrow!!)

    Have a lovely day everyone! X

    Well I found the dress and ended up buying it today. It wasn’t at a bridal shop so no ordering in. It was the first one I tried on. I tried a few more but had to come back for this. It was $50.00 off today too.fm5bd1zpoefq.jpeg

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 188.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), 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).
    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!
    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? Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Theater: Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.

    WFTY: Climbing. Thanks for the encouragement on the auditions, everybody. I didn't go last night (playing catchup with some coursework and an afternoon run instead of the AM one) and I probably won't go tonight, either. Should probably message the stage manager on FB to let her know :( we were in a show together last year. But after I was so stressed and frustrated at MULTIPLE points yesterday that I felt like I was about to cry and/or vomit, I think adding MORE to my plate right now maybe isn't a good idea.

    @toaljasa - If your son is at college, you may want to check to see if there's a writing center. Oftentimes some of the graduate students in writing disciplines will work shifts there, conferencing with students about papers. I know it's not the same as getting feedback from the course instructor, but it can be really helpful.
    @Snowflake1968 - Grats on the interview! Crossing my fingers that you get good news :D
    @jeschepp - Glad to hear you're on the upswing. Depression isn't anything to sneeze at.
    @Faebert - Yikes! Hope you can make it through the day and get some rest tonight. Focus on what's most important and let some of the smaller stuff go.
    @bookmeister86 - Bonne chance à ton examen! Ne te faches pas - tu as un peu de temps encore, n'est-ce pas? (Sorry - haven't actually studied French since high school other than some brushing up with Duolingo!)

    Good morning everybody! Keep climbing! :D

    2) Leftovers day / prelog / net calories zero / 14c water = Net calories 3 :D , sodium -617, sugar -14, fiber & protein good :smiley: , 14c water (yay)
    3) Update weekly w-i post on JFT = :smile:

    5) Unplug 9:00 :/ 9:15 / floss :s / retainers :smiley: / set/verify alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 :smiley: never turned tv on when I went upstairs = win!

    JFT T 3/19
    1) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories zero / 14c water
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Walk dog after work
    4) Evening: wash towels (start as soon as I get home) / make mushroom barley soup / boil eggs / put away clean dishes / clean Kitty's bathroom / fold hubby's work shirts / declutter 15 min. / start grocery list/meal plans
    5) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / retainers / set/verify alarm, bed & tv off 10:20

    I really like to walk dog before work, but with temps below freezing overnight, the snowmelt is frozen in spots before sunrise at 6:57. Since we walk at 6 a.m., I don't trust that I will see the ice with my headlamp. So for now, I will fit in dog walks after work when it's still daylight and roads are wet instead of icy. Still beats the treadmill. And happy dog.
