@pridesabtch -- you said "I have "hungry/snacky" days!!" ME TOO!! seems to start as soon as you roll out of bed and drag on thru the day.
@cschmitz110515 -- you're lucky she fessed up to the accident! a lot just drive away. At least her insurance should cover the repair ... just the frustration of taking the time to deal with it. Hang in there!1 -

End of February: 196.2

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. I'm so tired.3 -

Matt's still having chest pains and had to call out of work. He suffers from costochondritis which is the swelling of the muscles in his chest. He doesn't have flare ups often but when he does they can be debilitating. This one has lasted 4 days. We're hoping that today will be the last day.
I suffer from that too, when I first had it I thought I was having a heart attack. I would convince myself it wasn’t and struggled for a month before going to a doctor. I got it under control with Aleve. Then the next flare up it affected my lower rib area more than the heart area. I ended up taking Aleve for about 6 months straight and knock on wood haven’t had a flare up in about 2 years now.2 -
@pridesabtch - so happy your spot was clean! My cousin has had a terrible time with what she thought was a dry skin patch on her nose. It was barely noticeable. She has had to have a 7 hour surgery that was way up in her forehead, had to have her nose rebuilt, it’s been very traumatic but thankfully they got it all!2

Have a blessed day y'all!
Wow, I missed about everything yesterday. I was so sore yesterday my body just didn't want to move. I slept for a large portion of the day. Then evening came and I got a message from the photographer who is doing my daughter's senior pictures about possibly rescheduling tomorrow because of storms. Well, damn, I thought her pictures were next month. So she was frantically trying on clothes & jewelry last night. I felt awful because she was stressed out. Between my pain and her stress I had hubby mix me a drink. He has a very heavy hand when he pours. When DD went to bed, I took a warm bubble/Epsom salt bath. While I was in there, hubby made french toast with fresh blueberries. It was too much temptation, but damn was it good. It would have been fine had I stopped there, but I continued to snack. I doubt I did much damage, and I'm really not too bothered by it.
Obviously, from the above, today is Sierra's first photo session. I'm excited and nervous, I worry that the photographer won't do a good job, although I like his work and I just want her to have fun and like the pictures. This last minute thing did not exactly set us up for success. I did get her a last minute makeup appointment, so that is taken care of as long as the lady doesn't make her look like a hooker. She comes highly recommended, but I've never seen her idea of a "natural" look. I left enough time between make up and pictures that Sierra will have time to redo her own make up if its awful. I'm going to leave work early and go pick up a few things at the mall she talked about wanting while she is at work.

Wednesday goals 4 dats till ORAMM
Stay green✅
Fruit and vegetables for snacks✅
Win race✅🏁😃👍
Thursday goals 3 days to ORAMM
Well got a email yesterday saying that the blue Ridge Parkway pulled the race permit for Sunday so they had to change the race. It’s now 50 miles down from 60 & has 3000 feet less climbing. I’m really disappointed because my goals for over a year have been to have a certain finish time at the race. Now it’s essentially an entirely different race so don’t really know what to aim for.. goal is less than 5 hrs now. Oh well.
Goals
Stay green
1 hr recovery pace ride on trainer
Clean bike add tire sealant and set bike up for. Race
Look at bills
Only fruit and vegetables for snack

When I trained for the State time trials, the race was cancelled. I fell into a deep funk. Don't let the "let down" get you down. Focus on kicking *kitten* on a new course. You can push harder with less elevation and distance to cover, who knows what you can do. Give it all you got and be proud of the effort!6 -

Oh! I got an offer to do a guest blog post about bipolar on a health website! Its unpaid but I can use it as a profile piece and get a testimonial for my business site! I'm super excited! I've also been updating my LinkedIn profile too. So if anyone has one please feel free to add me! My full name is Hannah Smith.

@teigansdad - how disappointing the change in race location would be. I hope you still have a successful race.
@HEGoddard0928 - I need to read your blogs, I have a friend with bipolar and she struggles with sleep issues tremendously I will share with her.
Well I weighed myself this morning and the number started with a 2, I'm so disappointed in myself. I need to get back to it.

Since the pandemic started, I've had two 10K races converted to virtual events. Those were always my "challenge myself" events. Several 5K races that I enter annually have all been canceled. I can do 5Ks easy, heck, I walk dog farther than that on our daily routes. So I did the virtual 10K races anyway. I also completed one virtual 5K and have registered for another virtual 10K. The event organizers encourage us to post our times / photos online. It gives me something to focus on, and I don't mind having something like that during a worldwide pandemic.
I echo what @pridesabtch said: @teigansdad Don't let the change in course get you down. Focus on the new course & kick *kitten*!3
