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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning – Late Oct? ObG schedule for 9/22. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. 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: Persistence. Another whoosh? This cannot last.Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.3 -

- TRY OUT BIKE ✅YES! I FINALLY DID IT! I only rode for like 5 minutes but I still burned 45 calories! Lol
- 6PM meds✅I think I might need to move up the time I take this. Apparently one of the side effects is wakefulness and on the days that I go in at 5 I go to bed at like 8:30. So 6 PM is a bit too close. Lol. So I'm thinking of moving it to 4PM.
- teeth/night meds✅✅ I'm on a roll with this teeth challenged! Lol. I haven't missed a day in a week and a half! GO ME! I can't wait until I talk to my therapist on Wednesday and tell her that I managed to do it every day!
- Ta-Da/To-Do lists ✅This is another thing I'm really proud of doing every night! This and the teeth are starting to really become part of my nightly routine.
- bed by 8:30🛑Closer to 9. My work wife texted me because she's been having a hard time post-break up and needed someone to just talk to her. I managed to help her out and get her to calm down. I love being able to do that for my friends!
Not really THAT much to do today but we'll see what I get done. Lol.
So yesterday I went ona bit of a shopping spree at my work. Every week we sell a rotating stock of random things. It can be household items, clothing, kids toys, car stuff, garden stuff, plants, furniture. You never really know what's going to come in. Lol. Well two days ago I bought a compact air fryer and we LOVE that. Then yesterday I bought a George Foreman grill, a lapdesk, a spice rack for all my stuff in the bathroom, and a desk stationary set. It only came out to be around $85.
But the lapdesk is AMAZING! It's literally a cushion that has a painted piece of wood attached to the top. The lid flips up and there's some storage space underneath and a way to adjust the angle of the top. I'm completely in love with it! It's why I didn't get any office time yesterday. Bc I stayed on the couch and was about to get my work done using that instead of my desk. Lol. It also reminds me of my Nana who had something similar only without the storage that she used to do her crossword puzzles on every morning. So the nostalgias there too. Lol.

The weekend was pretty good. Sierra was rowing Saturday, so we spent the day walking about the lake and through a few trails between races. Got in 17K steps. That was pretty much all we did Saturday. Sunday we went for a 20 mile bike ride. It was a slow 20 miles but it was still something. Today my back is a bit out of sorts, so I'm going to mostly rest and work from home. Short list for Monday.
JFT Monday

Crappy weekend. Flat tire from screw in tread Thurs. evening. Personal day from work Fri. & hubby removed tire & we took to repair shop. 3 1/2 inches of rain & thunder crashing & lightning Sat. night, so much that it woke me up. Sun. another inch of rain, which I dealt with by unhealthy snacking. And it's raining again right now. Both our rain barrels are overflowing but my potted plants are loving it. I'm sick of humid, hot weather and warm nights. At this rate, looking forward to fall.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

End of April: 188.7
End of May: 191.2
End of June: 191.4
End of July: 190.2
Today: 193.2
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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning – Late Oct? ObG schedule for 9/22. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. 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: Persistence. Slept in this morning. No run. Gonna try for lots of steps and a bike ride.Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.4 -

Yesterday was a huge fail. I started well, but then gave up. I do best at dieting when I'm 1) in the right frame of mind, and 2) eating alone. And neither are happening at the moment. My son and grandson often eat with me and I find I'm eating more. It's a very stressful time for him and it obviously affects me as well.
It's already afternoon and I haven't logged, so today I will

Have a blessed day y'all.
Yesterday was pretty good. After a little rest and ibuprofen my back eased up a bit and I was able to do some laundry. Glamorous, I know.
Mom is driving me crazy, today she wants to close out both of her retirement accounts, but one of them she will be penalized because she isn't 70 yet. Hopefully I can talk her into just cashing out the one.
Today I was late for work, but I did actually shower. One out of two, is better than my usual late and no shower. Not much to do today at work, unless something unforeseen comes up I'll just be doing equipment research for a new shaker and going to a few meetings.
Leaving work early to help mom and if the weather holds out I'm going to go for a bike ride. If the weather sucks, maybe I'll ride the dreaded Pelton. I gotta do something...

Anybody heard from @Janele0627? Last she wrote she wasn't doing so hot.Janele0627 wrote: »I've been absent again. For the last three days I have been deathly sick. I went to the doctor today to get some tests done to see if we can figure out what I'm sick with. He also gave me a pain relief injection, and for the first time in those three days I don't have a migraine and my throat doesn't hurt so bad that's a chore to just drink water.
I'm even cooking myself a healthy dinner for the first time in those three days.
Hopefully in a few more days I'll be back on track and able to start working towards my weight loss.
Stay safe, healthy, and awesome folks

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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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.

Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.

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?

WFTY: Persistence. Setting up for the first day of school tomorrow. I looked back at last year's JFTs and I am anxious about having 3 preps. Last year I was dealing with teaching in-person and remote students at the same dadgum time, but at least I only had one course I was teaching. This year everyone will be in person (supposedly! GAH!) but I have three completely different courses. I'm trying not to let it freak me out.Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.4 -

We'll see how I do with a larger list of goals... Y'all have an amazing day! Love ya!
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got most things done, but the bike ride almost didn't happen. I got home from the meeting with mom and there was no one home. I was a bit mentally exhausted and a nap looked really good. I decided not to lay down and to load my bike up, in case it was raining I also packed some tennis shoes so I could walk instead of ride. Riding a road bike in the rain is a little sketchy and slick. It started raining on my way there and I almost turned around and went home to nap, but I didn't. The rain stopped and the trail was a bit wet/slick, but I decided to do a short ride anyway. Did about 14 miles. I felt pretty good and decided to add a walk to my day. I walked around 3.8 miles, and I gotta say the last mile back was rough, but I had to get back so I did. I was tired, but felt good that I chose to exercise rather than nap.
Dinner was ok, but hubby made a blackberry pie, and I love blackberry pie... He means well, but doesn't quite get that I don't usually have room in my daily allotment for pie. Guess it just means I need to exercise each day to have room in my diet to have a small slice.

@pridesabtch Awesome that you rode bike AND walked over 3 miles! Means you can enjoy the pie. Btw, I nearly always eat my exercise calories... it's partly why I exercise
@Janele0627 Hope you feel better soon!

Dog was especially happy b/c she got treat from garbage truck driver this morning. We cross paths about a mile into our usual walk. In a few more weeks, no treats from driver since his route will start an hour later as the fall/winter schedule kicks in. He even mentioned that last week. I had forgotten it was W today. I'm not always at my most alert first thing in the morning. But I always thank the driver & wish him a good day. Hoping all my JFTers have a great day as well!

Have a fine day y'all!
Yesterday was pretty good. Got a lot done for work, and kept my eating under control. I did however have pie with lunch assuming I would ride in the evening, but it was thunder storming so no ride. On the up side, I was able to adjust my dinner to stay within calories. Yay me!
Not much to do at work today, but I came in instead of working from home. Need to leave a few hours early to fit in doing mom's bills before date night. Dinner out, drinks and trivia, but I'll keep it reasonable and maybe even log it...

Why do I always seem to just disappear for a few days? I don't understand it! Lol. Well I'm back here today!
The last two days have been nice though. The day before yesterday I had off. I don't think I really did much. I had an interesting sales call with a gentleman about an incredibly expensive writing program. Not something I was going to sign up for after hearing the $6000 price tag but still a cool program that if I were in a much different place I might actually do.
And I got lost on main highway while on the phone. In an area that I know pretty well. I think I spent about twenty minutes driving up and down the road before I realized I hadn't actually gone far enough north. Lol. I think that's the epitome of distracted driving. 😂
I started working on the outline for my new paranormal cozy mystery though! So that's really exciting! Lol.
And yesterday I had a really great appt with my therapist. This was only the second appt but she fricken ROCKS! Lol. She knows exactly how to talk to me and is super proud of all the coping mechanisms I already do before I even started seeing her. Lol. She wants me to start doing guided meditations which I've done in the past. She gave me the name of a free app that she uses that have super short ones. It's called MyLife. I'm going to start doing one before I leave the parking lot at work as a way to kind of kick start my transition from work to home. I also really hope that it helps me to not be so angry at the really bad drivers on the roads around me. Lol. NJ is known for it's terrible drivers. Lol
Today I work a closing shift for some strange reason. But I'm working with one of my work wives so I'm okay with it. And I'm off tomorrow too! Have to take my car in to get looked at though. Something's up with the transmission. Sometimes when I accelerate it does a kind of bucking motion. Dad thinks I might just need to get my transmission fluid filled or something but I'm going to bring it in anyway. I have a warranty so why not use it.
Okay! Onto some goals!

Yesterday finally figured out training assessment through trial & error, b/c 9 out of 14 questions were "check all that apply" and there was no feedback on what questions I got wrong. In total spent 11 hours on course, re-review of materials & retaking assessment multiple times. Granted, I expanded my knowledge of a very technical subject but GAH! All for 2 lousy CPEs. I critiqued the entire thing in my course evaluation = not good.
Shortly after lunch, we started getting severe weather warnings, including strong thunderstorms & even a tornado watch. Our Maintenance Dept. emailed building occupants to remind us to come to basement in case alarms went off. My manager informed us if we wanted to work from home (leave before storms hit), that was fine. We all did.
I'm glad I did b/c dog was very edgy & I decided to work on my laptop from the basement. Dog laid on couch & calmed down enough that she actually dozed off. Kitty peered down the stairs, wouldn't join us, but I wasn't worried. Storms weren't so bad by us, but several towns over saw a tornado. Needless to say, I skipped the grocery store run & concert in the park.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -

Life! I am happy to hear you are writing again!! Also, it is exciting that you connected with a good therapist!! I hope the car issue is not significant, prayers for that for sure!!
@cschmitz110515 11 hours on a course is daunting, I am happy to hear you pushed through regardless! Sorry to hear the weather is not cooperating and I am glad the tornado stayed away from you all!! My eldest doggie gets nervous during storms also, he is my 120 lbs baby!!
Well, I am just going to "jump" back in here and start posting. I will need some time to go back and catch up on reading everyone's posts. I hope everyone is doing amazing and staying strong!!

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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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. 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. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
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 call to schedule cleaning – Late Oct? ObG schedule for 9/22. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
8. House: 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: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. 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: Persistence. I am SO tired. I have students showing up who aren't on any of my rosters. Some are showing up without any documentation. Only after I email to ask what's going on do I get confirmation that they're supposed to be in my room. During my planning period. UGHHHH. Also I was so tired this morning that it took awhile to get out for my run and I cut the short run even shorter. So I under-exercised, and I over-ate. Dinner was half a leftover calzone and it was freakin' delicious.
Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.3
