    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
    End of March: 193.8
    Today: 197.4

    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 bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Google Hangout.
    12. Other: 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. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Progress. Uff. Big jump in weight. Hopefully it's because of TOM, but it may have something to do with the fact that my husband made raisin bread yesterday XD

    @clicketykeys The calories for dried fruit are insane! I was going to add some to my nut mix until I saw the figures.
    @PackerFanInGB it’s great that you now have your mum nearby and that she loves her new house.

    Caring is sharing. These are from my garden. Bulbs planters and my magnolia tree

    @PackerFanInGB -- thanks! I've added the Happy Yoga vid to my Watch List. It's nice to have 2-3 to choose from. I appreciate the info on the massage. Sorry to hear you have lymphedema which is causing so much pain for you. I do know how debilitating pain can be. I am interested because I have swelling in my foot, ankle, and lower calf on one leg. The doc said to use the RICE procedure which does help for a bit ... then it's back. This may be something that could help me. There is a DIY vid on Yahoo that explains how I can try to do it myself that I'll give a try ... especially since I can't get out to a doctor because it's not "essential". I had a radical hysterectomy about 15+ years ago and they took a huge number of lymph nodes. If that were part of the problem, wouldn't this issue have risen before now? Oh well, hopefully the DIY vid will help. Thanks so much for the info.

    I'll definitely let you know if I find any others. Have a good night!! :)

    My dad has lymphedema in one of his legs from a procedure he had done last year and he actually has a compression stocking he has to wear daily now that goes from his toes to his thigh. I think having it in the leg might be tougher to control because I'm able to be careful about lifting heavy things with my arm, and not using it when it's irritated, but our legs can't be babied as easily. I think I would google lymphedema massage for leg and try doing that, and then maybe get some compression stockings to help keep the swelling down after you do the massage. I'm not a health care worker at all though, so probably best to ask your doctor before doing anything I say! LOL!

    So so far behind in reading posts

    @packerfan - what is the name of the new med and are you noticing any side effects

    It's called phentermine and the only side effect I notice is that I feel like I drank a pot of coffee when it kicks in, but that only lasts for a little bit. I do have to have my blood pressure taken once a month by them to make sure my BP doesn't rise, as that can be a side effect. Other than that, I'm good!

    I WILL get back to you. I've just typed out a response twice and lost it twice so I had to stop before I launched my phone at the wall lmfao
    But everything's good :) do you use what's app?

    Hahaha! Oh good! No, you are not worse than I am. I'm just a paranoid old woman. :mrgreen: I've never heard of the what's app...I'll have to see what it is!

    By the way, I think you look very young and pretty. I'm not good at guessing ages so I'm no help there, but you sure do have beautiful eyes! Are they green?

    Late posting today b/c keeping busy at home and really enjoying being with hubby once he wakes up. Used to be, he'd sleep while I went to work at my office job, I'd see him on my one hour lunch break, I'd come home from work to the cat and dog for the entire evening, then be sleeping when he got home. Repeat Mon. - Fri. At least now, we see each other awake a few hours each weekday, and I'm loving that!

    My usual grocery store just announced only one person per household in store, so can't shop with hubby on weekends like we've been, social distancing others of course. Have my grocery list almost complete, planning on Easter dinner for just the two of us, on a much smaller scale. Already have most of the basics, just need to fill in a few gaps, and plan ahead for another two weeks. Not so bad, but I need to organize list better before I go, so I can be as efficient as possible.

    It's just like a messaging app but uses data not minutes/texts. But you can call over wifi. Free calling I think but I will double check!

    They're hazel but more green than brown. Like green on the outer side and brown nearer the iris lol :) xx

    Daily habits: track, 😀exercise, 😀journal😀

    I’m struggling here. Looks like my shin splints are more likely a stress fracture. The pain gets worse throughout the day despite frequent icing and I only noticed today there is bruising on my shin. I was SO happy to finally be running again after a hiatus of years. And now I’ll need to take at least 4, maybe 8 weeks off. The idea of having to work myself back to running condition yet again has me near tears and I need help to not just quit.

    I know weight loss is all about my diet, so I have to cling to that—I can still lose without movement. But it’s hard as the 2 are so linked in my brain. And the fact I’ve stalled out on a plateau for the past 2 weeks! I have to figure out what exercise I can safely do (chair arm weights...what else?).

    For once I thought I had everything dialed in. Isn’t the rest of the world complicated enough right now, did my body really have to add to it??
    So sorry to hear about your leg problems.
    Is it possible for you to walk rather than run? Or you could google chair exercises or moving yoga routines where you do a lot of non walking/running movements.
    Cross training is recommended using cycling and Aqua exercise, but the aqua would be difficult at the moment with pools being closed.

    I hope you can find something that suits you.

    Thinking of a few regulars that haven’t been posting lately. Hopefully you’re well and maybe still checking in even if you’re not posting. 💕

    WEDNESDAY:
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Log🔴
    - Exercise🟢
    - Stay green🟢
    - Update budget🟢
    - Organize one set of drawers🟢
    - Set up a few virtual classes for the girls.🟢

    I woke up with a kink in my neck. ☹️. Hoping the Advil takes the pain away so it doesn’t impact my day. Hoping to do my lifting routine today. I really like doing it and don’t want to get out of the habit.

    It’s going to rain all afternoon, so I’m flipping our school schedule. Usually we work in the morning and play in the afternoon, but we’ll change it up today to make sure we get outside while we can!

    JFT THURSDAY:
    - Homeschool
    - Log
    - Exercise
    - Stay green
    - Laundry
    - Dishes
    - Organize next set of drawers

    Bunny challenge: 10k steps in nice weather or an indoor workout when I can’t get outside
    March 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31

    2. To be better with planning my meals each week
    3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.

    .. keeping busy sewing, doing whatever I can to help this. Just shipped some face masks off to our son and DIL .. they are both still working, and live in Michigan, so I worry so much about them. So all I can do is keep busy. Husband goes to the doctor next friday for his procedure, and just hope we can get the treatments going. And now also making surgical caps!
    But in the meantime ... enjoy what beauty there is in this world!
    Sewed 20 surgical caps for the hospital .. they are now telling nurses to wear these over their PPE equipment

    Oh Joan how lovely. You're an awesome woman. I appreciate you with high regards dear Sister. God has loaned you to us and you've been such a beautiful jewel. None of us would know one another had God not inspired you to open this path for us. You are a rainbow, you are a purple heart, you are a lighthouse, you are a quiet stream. Thank you for sharing you with us. I love you so much. You and all that concerns you are in my prayers.
    I know where I was before I joined JFTODAT, I know where I've come from and I'm definitely not that woman back there. This woman right here... 1- Looks forward to working out
    2- Actually works out and gets up on purpose to get it in
    3- Have Friends that I call my family, my sisters and brothers
    4- have moved beyond my comfort zone in communication
    This woman today has happiness in her life because of each of you being in my ❤ heart.
    I LOVE EVERYONE HERE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH😅😍

    Good morning all! I hope you all are safe and well <3

    Yesterday, I did my first round of one-on-one video-conferences with my writing students - exhausting, but ultimately successful. Work has been super busy. It's a welcome distraction, as I've been riding an emotional roller coaster all week.

    Most NJ parks and beaches are now closed, but my husband and I have been able to get out and walk in the neighborhood or in the woods nearby each day this week. It's good to have him home. The simple routine of fixing meals and eating together is calming, and I'm sleeping a little better now that we're past his self-quarantine period.

    Another busy day ahead with more conferences and student reports to finish before I can relax and prepare for a quiet holiday weekend. I've been gathering some things to drop off at my daughter's so she can avoid going out to the store again this week.

    Here are a few pics from a couple of nights ago. Hubby and I went out to enjoy the warm evening under the supermoon. I poured some wine and he surprised me by building a fire. A reminder that we are surrounded by beauty and that life is good, even with the world turned upside down.
