My mum died in the early hours of Sunday so no goals from me on Sunday or today. I will post goals tomorrow.
Take care of you for us. You are important and loved by many. My condolences on your loss.1 -
@ZizzyBumble I’m so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself. Allow others to help you where they can. ❤️
@cesse47 Thank you for suggesting sloppy joes. I made some tonight and it was a great change of pace. (I used ground turkey, not ground beef, and didn’t add any brown sugar or sweetener.)1 -

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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. 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 call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
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. Dinners?
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. @SERmom3 - I have NOT seen Hamilton before! We have a thriving local theater community in my area so I go to a lot of community shows. I don't think I've been to a professional show in... actually I don't know how long! As a teacher I get "summer brain" and I have trouble keeping track of what day it is ;D4 -
Hello All!
I am about 80 pages behind, but still alive. I was really getting back on track before COVID hit, then BOOM. I am an essential worker, and I went from a job that "couldn't" be done from home to telecommuting full time 70+ hours/week for quite a while. I do financial eligibility for my state's social programs, including SNAP food benefits.
When a huge percentage of people were suddenly without work and could not get unemployment, they came to us for help. My state's unemployment system fell apart, but our programs did not, through sheer willpower, creative thinking and lots of sacrifice.
Today is day 108 of quarantine for me. I am very high risk, so I am being pretty careful. I can't swim, do social dancing, community gardening or go to the gym. For a while I was doing Zumba online from home via Zoom, but then my friend who was leading that injured herself. I ended my long-term relationship at the beginning of the pandemic, so I have been pretty alone. I can't even see my family because my mother is has a suppressed immune system as a transplant recipient. I have taken to reading enormous books (just finished a thousand-pager!) and making my terrace into a fabulous retreat.
Have I mentioned that for health reasons I cannot have alcohol? 108 days of quarantine, in the middle of wine country, with no alcohol. I feel like I should qualify for some kind of medal.
My state did pretty well early on, but once lock-down ended, all bets were off. We've had a big spike and now we are into mandatory mask-wearing statewide. I suspect that this is going to go on for at least another year.
I have had times when I have not left my apartment for weeks at a time, just for safety. People in my area are not respecting the 6-foot rule. I went to an international market in the city at one point (N-95 mask, gloves, fully covered) and realized that I can still say "2 meters please" in a bunch of languages in addition to my everyday English and Spanish.
I need to start setting some very small exercise and health goals so that I can move back into better habits. I have begun to do some walking at dusk and after dark when there aren't too many people around to contend with...will come back in the AM and set some concrete goals.6 -

Today was a bit off. I went to bed feeling odd, woke up feeling a bit sick. Started coughing in the shower and seriously considered getting a COVID test. But wasn’t worse by evening, so hoping it’s just extra dramatic allergies. But I did have a mid-day binge from feeling “wrong” and I really struggled to get my work done. Contained the binge and ate my lunch and dinner pretty normal. All told I’m not green, but I think I’m under maintenance. Crossing fingers for tomorrow!

Catching up here...
@PackerFanInGB Sorry to hear about your job loss. No matter how it happens (gently or surprise) it’s a blow. I hope you find your way forward—new job, or just new life focus—quickly so you can find a new routine and contentment.
@azulvioleta6 Hi! Sounds like you’re somewhat north of me, geographically. Thank you for keeping those important programs going. I’m sure the people like you who make it happen behind the scenes are never as appreciated as you deserve. And I hope you can find some other online classes that might appeal...you’re doing the right thing by staying indoors to keep safe.
Hugs and best wishes to everyone else. It’s been a hard first half of 2020. Let’s hope for better luck in the second half!2 -
I'm seeing so many brilliant goals above... Today's commitment is to stick to my calories. Simple. I'm just going for one goal, but it feels like a difficult goal today, hence writing it down.
I've woken up early and feeling hungry, have eaten twice as much as I normally would and substantially earlier. Ugh. I'm going to suffer for that later... I did eat slightly under yesterday, so maybe that's prompted it, but I think it's more likely the lack of sleep. My weight does not deal well with sleep deprivation...
I figured if my body was hungry, I should feed it. Just means I have to be really careful for the rest of the day to stay within my allowance. Tomorrow is weigh-in day, so Tuesday is not a day to go off the rails!3 -
JFT Tuesday: log everything, stay in the green.
@ZizzyBumble I’m so sorry to hear about your mum, I can’t imagine how sad that must be.1 -

Yesterday was not good, I got myself into a right grump. Ate ok until evening when I demolished around half a tube of crisps. I only stopped because I knew it could cause me stomach problems if I kept eating them. Really feeling the strain of everything right now, just want to go to bed and hide!

3. Write in my journal.✅
4. Be kind to myself and others. ✅
5. Clean off kitchen table and counters. Too many papers stacked up! ✅
I just have not been feeling well and it is frustrating and that has bled into not sleeping well. Is it the medicine I’m taking? Allergies? The food I’m eating?
For today, Tuesday 6/30 . Take care of myself!!
1. Eat familiar foods in smaller amounts more frequently and see if that helps.
2. Exercise - walk for a minimum of 30 min.
3. Take a nap this afternoon if I am tired.
4. Write in my journal.

JFT - Tuesday June 30
1L of Water
Log all Food
Gratitude Journal
I didn't post goals yesterday, it was a terrible day work wise that started even before the clock struck 8. I am hoping that today is better. I came to work instead of using a sick day so that's something.
There was a lot I wanted to comment on, but didn't make notes thinking I would remember. I got distracted and now don't remember.
My cousin that was told she had skin cancer at the end of April had some good news yesterday, they got all of the cancer. They were concerned that it had gotten into the soft tissues in her throat but it was clear! She has one more reconstruction surgery on July 13 and then should be able to start the healing process.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Have an awesome day y'all!
Tuesday is club ride day, and I really want to go, but I'm tanked. I've hit it fairly hard recently and my legs are just heavy and slow. Not a great combo for riding. I've also been a little queasy the last few days so calories have been low. Also NOT good for riding. I'll try to work on healthy calories today and hope I perk up by evening.
Tomorrow we leave for our camping/white water trip in PA, so there will be some laundry and packing this evening. I like when my Tuesday is like a Friday!
JFT Tuesday
- Work on calculations for new test
- Call photographer to set up Sierra's senior pictures
- Get in at least 800 calories before ride - damn, forgot my lunch.
- Log everything
- Stay green
- No alcohol
- No candy/cookies
- Club ride, just a few hills, but they are sizable. Anytime the road has the word Ridge in it's name it's a clue.

Have a great day y'all!
