Have a great day y'all!
All good yesterday except for packing my lunch which I also didn't do this morning. We do have a cafeteria on-site that I may try to make use of today if I need to. If not, I'll again us PB to tide myself over. Kind of starting in a new role today. Well expanding a current role to include a new area. It's a bit overwhelming as any new job is at first. I think it will be okay. I'm going to be splitting my time between 2 offices, but I haven't been given my new office yet.
I think Tim and I are going to try to make it to Bible Study at the new church tonight. There are things he isn't to sure about with the new church, but he is giving it a fair shake. In general I like it much better than our old church. We tried Sunday School this past Sunday. It was good, but the crowd was much older than I thought it would be. Still good content though.

@MLHC1 I loved the message on your newsfeed the other day: Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear. Reminds me to just keep chugging along.
Recap T 10/5
1) Walked dog 4.21 before work, uncommonly warm & humid, can't believe I'm wearing shorts & short sleeve tech shirt at 6 a.m. happy dog & happy me (only 108K to reach 1,021K for annual challenge)
2) Sloppy joes, baked beans, steamed broccoli for supper / net cals zero / 14c water green 182 & 13c
3) 9:00 EHN update / 12:00 Facebook Live / GA-C/V YE testing / keep up w/ emails = 4/4
4) Email P before her surgery tomorrow / call L
had to leave message / wash dishes / another ta-da = TA-DA! 3.5/4
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 (walk dog before work) = 6/6
JFT W 10/6
1) Walked dog 4.1 mi before work, still wearing shorts but long sleeve bamboo shirt to combat a little foggy/cooler & very damp this morning, we saw (barely, in the dark) deer in two spots happy dog & happy me

6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 (walk dog before work)
The sun finally came out yesterday and that lifted my mood & evening energy. Maybe it's not the shorter days already, but the lack of sunny days lately. In any case, I'm enjoying more sun today. Maybe I'll walk outside for mini-breaks at work!
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 ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded ~ 9.30.21 small improvements yay
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training

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 up3 -

Hour commitment - After I finish my walnuts and metamusal, I won't eat again until after 5 pm.3

So to put it bluntly...Life has been a *kitten* show. A complete and total trash fire. A rolling ball of flaming terribleness. And it's been affecting my mental health.
My doctor sent a script for Adderall to the pharmacy yesterday but of course, they haven't filled It yet bc they're seriously short-staffed. So the one thing that's going to help me not be completely brain dead and unmotivated and will get me up off the couch, I can't get yet. The guy I talked to at the pharmacy today said it'll be done today. But of course, it's half an hour until they close and I haven't gotten the text saying it's ready yet.
Le sigh. Life just really sucks right now.
Anyway, here's my list for tomorrow.
JFT, 10/7/21
- up by 4:20
- meds/coffee
- work 5-2
- attempt to write on break now that I've found the damn file
- go food shopping after work
- clean out the fridge
- pick up med(If it's even ready yet!)
- take med if it's early enough in the afternoon
- cook dinner
- Bible study
- shower
- write 500 words
- meds/teeth
- lists
- bed by 8:305 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of January: 189.8
End of February: 190.0
End of March: 190.4
End of April: 188.7
End of May: 191.2
End of June: 191.4
End of July: 190.2
Today: 197.8
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 9/28. 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. Need to get my next unit plan set up so that I don't have to work on it over the break.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 -

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.

Good news at ophthalmologist appt. yesterday.

Due to family history, need annual eye exams as I age. Not happy about possibilities, but good to know.

Yesterday was a bit of a mess- literally! Found the garage freezer door ajar (likely since the weekend). A partial bag of ice had melted, dripped down, and refrozen at the bottom, forcing the door open several inches. Of course everything had to be thrown out, but the carboard containers were so wet that it was a super messy job - soupy ice cream spilled everywhere, and boxes were falling apart as I pulled them out. Although I wasn't the one who didn't make sure the door was firmly shut, it's really my fault for packing it so tightly. Lesson learned, I hope. This weekend, we'll have to haul the freezer out to defrost and clean. Ugh! But honestly, the mess is less distressing than the waste. It seems such a sin to throw out so much food
Today is the last day of student conferences - yay! It's another busy day and my car is in the shop, but I'm going to try to squeeze in a walk and a quick lunch with my daughter who's offered to drive us down to the beach. The weather is still nice, and I could use the mental break. Next week, I'll have a mountain of papers to grade
JFT M 10/4 - Su 10/10

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 9/28. 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. One more day until fall break.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
