    JFT Monday Recap

    Drink lots of water :)
    Healthy choices :)
    stay within calories :/ Over by 100
    60 minutes exercise >:)
    journal :/

    Didn't do to bad calorie wise, really feeling awful so didn't make it to the gym unfortunately. Might be able to go get some yoga in later but still feeling tired from being under the weather so we'll see. Went out to dinner with in laws, had a cheeseburger and a few fries but no alcohol and no dessert! :) Today is a busy morning, but then a calmer afternoon however, I'm heading out of town tonight for 2 days to a convention for my profession which should be really interesting. Looking forward to that!

    JFT Tuesday

    Drink lots of water

    JFT Monday
    - Up at 6:00, work by 7:00 :smile: Was up by 5:45 and at work before 7:00
    - Protein bar for breakfast :( Skipped
    - Finish training Jennie :smile: Made progress will finish today
    - Meeting with a higher up I've not met before from 11:00-12:00. Should be ok I know the subject quite well. :smile: It went well
    - Figure out lunch :/ cheese stick and Cheezits...
    - Pick V up from theater :smile:
    - Church at 7:00 - Revival/Jubilee :smile:
    - Dinner :( Grilled Cheese at 10pm
    - Bed by 10:30 up at 4:30 to go to CrossFit even though my elbow is still wonky. :(:(

    I'm less bitter about my mom today, but we'll see what tomorrow holds. Tomorrow is her actual birthday. But I really won't know until my birthday next month. The last time she got angry with me around her birthday,(I only took her out to dinner, and didnt baking her a cake) she didn't even call me on my birthday, she didn't come over for Thanksgiving and she cancelled Christmas with lots of mean awful things in between. It lasted until like March of the following year. Hopefully it doesn't come to that this time. I will continue to text her and check on her, being polite and telling her I love her. She responds but only with a single work. Sigh, sometimes I wish I could confront my mom, but I just can't. Anyway, today is better.


    This reminds me of my mil. I was always walking on cracked glass around her. Just about the time I thought we were doing well I would say something or do something that she would find offensive (didn't say good morning to my fil and that made me a "rat") or she would accuse me of something I was completely innocent of and then the name calling or what have you would start up again. The last time she got mad at me (never found out why) I decided I was done (after 27 years) I wasn't angry, resentful, nothing. Except done. I would dutifully make sure that she got a birthday greeting and flowers and always encouraged the kids to go visit when they could. Reminded her son to call her. I emailed her once to let her know one of the kids had a pet die and to give her an opening to reconnect if she wanted and she answered very briefly and that was it. I felt at peace about it and still do since her death. Life is too short. As much hatred and animosity that she had towards me, I would think she was at peace as well. At least she couldn't say I was the cause of her anger.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.6

    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 PB 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 Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Mamma Mia. Next?
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
    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 night for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.

    WFTY: Climbing. I hit the ground running today and haven't had a break. At least tomorrow I'm off for a checkup. Maybe I can get caught up with some grading.
