    So tired tonight. Have read all the updates but not able to respond individually. Just as ever in awe of what wonderful, interesting people there are on this group!

    A good day for me today. I had a great run out in the (cold!) sunshine, hitting 5km for the first time in a while and around a 10.5 min mile, so v pleased with that, given how hilly it is round here! But most important was some vital life admin I’ve done today. Feel so much more in control now and have a way forward for what still needs to be done with the house.

    Thursday goals recap:
    Morning run ✅ 3.1m/5km
    Drive kids to school ✅
    Energy provider research ✅
    Finances ✅ This was a biggie!!
    Home improvement research ❌
    Plan maths, science and topic for next week ✅
    Pick kids up from school✅
    Cook veggies✅
    Buy cat treats and soup ✅
    Stay within calorie goal ✅
    Water❌
    Bed by 10 ❌

    Friday goals:
    Morning run
    Pack yoghurt
    LFT before we leave
    Walk kids to school
    Print docs on arrival
    Add parent meetings to calendar
    Meet WH in PM
    Leave by 4:30
    Stay within calorie goal
    Drink more water!!!
    Bed by 11

    Scale goals

    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 197.2

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    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 GR purchase list.
    2. E2: 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. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    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? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. Today was just ... a lot. Tomorrow I'll see how things went with the sub.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    @pridesabtch - Way to go jumping back in!

    @cschmitz110515 - I don't blame your husband for being angry. What a rough way for a job to end, but now you both can look ahead. Enjoy that extra evening time!

    @littleblackskirt - 2 going on 8 - how funny! Glad to hear your grandson is feeling more settled - no doubt because you are helping him feel his world is secure and predictable again - and that you're enjoying your time together.

    This morning there was a noticeable lightening of the sky.
    Yesterday the snowdrops were out down in our small wooded area.
    Spring will not be far behind.
    Of course we could get another cold snap, but I won’t dwell on that today.

    @Snowflake1968 It’s good that they are taking precautions. I hope you get the biopsy quickly, and it puts your mind at rest.

    Happy Thursday everyone! Take care of you for me!

    It is so much easier to stay within calories when I exercise and I feel better all around. Gotta remember this. I mean I know it, but will I do it? I will at least do it twice a week for the next few months. Hopefully that will trigger my internal desire to workout, because I have always loved it. Depression can ruin so many things... Make you feel undeserving of joy.

    Anyway, I got a meeting in 5, so goals it is.

    JFT Friday
    - Shower :smiley:
    - V to school :smiley:

    Thanks again, my JFTers, for your support, especially this week with hubby and work issues. It means more to me than I can say, and I like that JFT allows me to vent. Helps me immensely to get that *kitten* out of my system. ;)

    Last night was a bit scary with sick Kitty. Hubby said she laid on our bed the entire day, totally unlike her, then late afternoon, projectile vomited. She was very picky with her food and didn't eat much supper, again not like her, she's always demanding her supper. But she drank her water and this morning she was up and demanding her breakfast. After, she was snuggling on our bed with hubby & purring. When I was leaving for work I checked her bowls, and she had gobbled all her dry and wet food down. Seems to be back to her normal self. Sigh of relief.

    Recap R 1/13 ~ impromptu rest day, totally worth it, extra sleep has refreshed me
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks :) 9.7K 21 floors 12/14
    2) Net calories zero / 112 oz. water :s another evening drink w/ hubby, eating up leftovers, -557, high sodium & sugar :s fiber & protein excellent, 96 oz.
    3) Issue GA-BJ report / Facebook Live 12:00 / good day in office :smiley: 3/3
    4) Grocery shop on way home / gas in car / hubby time <3 / any ta-da? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ = 3/4
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:50 alarm (treadmill before work) = 4/6

    JFT F 1/14
    1) Treadmill before work 3.27 miles :smiley: happy me
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
    3) Make Easy Baked Ziti (new recipe) for supper / net calories zero / 112 oz. water
    4) Figure out next steps for Title 31 / start to sort AJNH papers / update Project Status s/s / update & submit PRO, KRO & PAR s/s
    5) Hubby time / any ta-da?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. ~ no definite plans, maybe walk dog at tech college if wind chill temp not too cold for dog, forecast for blustery & high of 15F (-9C)

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    1) Weight 150#
    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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~

    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement

    @TerriRichardson112 I may have missed it; what are you crocheting? Oh I love snowdrops! They are so pretty!
    @Faebert Congrats on doing 5k! Wow!
    @tech_hunter Horses are fun! I have some hope that I'll get to help out at a horse property when we move (good workout and some income/barter, and time with horses!)
    @pridesabtch The "don't die" goal was funny, but sorry to read that you got sick afterwards. Scale it back a little! Yeah depression can really take the wind out of the sails. Keep trying! Try something small you like to do first. (((hugs))
    @Snowflake1968 (((hugs)))) on the doctor stuff. Good for you doing some ceramics.
    @cschmitz110515 (((hugs)))) and prayers

    Question for the group: DH got me a bike we're taking with us but the only time he took me to go riding I felt incredibly unstable. I used to bike years ago and remember it felt a lot different - more stable and more in control. The only difference I can figure is that the current bike's handlebars are lower, curved, and very close to the middle. The bike I used to have had the flat handlebars where I could reach out (leaning only slightly) and reach straight out from my shoulders (instead of inwards towards the middle). Does anyone think that if I change the handlebars on this new bike, it will get better? I couldn't turn down the bike purchase back then though I tried to voice my doubts about how it felt - DH bought it anyways. Maybe this is a more "racing bike" as he said. I used to have a mountain bike, I guess was the type - wider tires, flat handlebars, etc. Just feeling down today about the bike. Promised to take me biking and hiking but barely ever went now he wants to get rid of the bike. sigh
    I can do this, I can get through this move!!!
    Still sick but getting better.
    If anyone gets the 'glitter', I recommend lots of water, standing in steam, and sleeping face down.

    @pridesabtch The "don't die" goal was funny, but sorry to read that you got sick afterwards. Scale it back a little! Yeah depression can really take the wind out of the sails. Keep trying! Try something small you like to do first. (((hugs))
    @Snowflake1968 (((hugs)))) on the doctor stuff. Good for you doing some ceramics.

    Question for the group: DH got me a bike we're taking with us but the only time he took me to go riding I felt incredibly unstable. I used to bike years ago and remember it felt a lot different - more stable and more in control. The only difference I can figure is that the current bike's handlebars are lower, curved, and very close to the middle. The bike I used to have had the flat handlebars where I could reach out (leaning only slightly) and reach straight out from my shoulders (instead of inwards towards the middle). Does anyone think that if I change the handlebars on this new bike, it will get better? I couldn't turn down the bike purchase back then though I tried to voice my doubts about how it felt - DH bought it anyways. Maybe this is a more "racing bike" as he said. I used to have a mountain bike, I guess was the type - wider tires, flat handlebars, etc. Just feeling down today about the bike. Promised to take me biking and hiking but barely ever went now he wants to get rid of the bike. sigh
    I can do this, I can get through this move!!!

    I actually really love spinning and riding. I just over exerted. No biggy and nothing really new for me or deterring.

    As for the bike, sounds like he got you a nice road bike. What you can do is have The bike shop raise the handle bars for you with a longer stem. The tires are skinnier which can make it feel wobbly at first. Try riding in a slightly higher gear so you aren’t spinning the pedals this will also help. Good luck!
