Hi JFT friends! Hope you are all doing well. It's a beautiful day in Green Bay today. Sunny, 76 degrees, with a breeze and bright blue skies. 🌼😎☕
@azulvioleta6 Tickets to Europe! How exciting! I can only dream of a trip like that. Good for you!
@pridesabtch I'm so sorry to hear about Boomer! (((HUGS))) my friend! ALSO, I wanted to say how beautiful you are! What a great picture, and good for you being down to one chin (LOL)! I look forward to the day I only have TWO of them! Your mom's new dog looks like such a cutie pie! How nice of you to do that for your mom. 💖
@cschmitz110515 I saw that you and your husband roast Brussel Sprouts. Can I ask what temp you set the oven to and about how long you cook them? Do you cut them in half first? Your walks sound so nice! You see so much wildlife where you live...I don't see much of that here except the occasional squirrel or rabbit. Saw a couple owls last year and that was pretty cool!
@Snowflake1968 I'm sorry to hear you've got Covid! The fatigue is horrible. (((HUGS))) 💞 I LOVE YOUR CHINA CABINET! So pretty! I wish we had room for one, but our house does not have a lot of wall space.
@Bex953172 How are your shin splints? Are you still having pain from them? I felt them for the first time a few months ago and those suckers hurt like a B!tch! I'm sorry to hear you're feeling stressed. When does school start back up? Kids love summer break, but I always counted the days until school was back in session as a mother! I agree wholeheartedly with @Snowflake1968. Kids need to see the reality or consequences of their actions sometimes and I think you did the right thing by explaining to them that you are only one person and are human. I don't think it hurt them to see you cry at all! (((BEX))) 💗💕
@TerriRichardson112 Only 1.4 lbs gained on holiday? Whoop Whoop! That's awesome! I gained more than that last week and I didn't go anywhere (except for my kitchen apparently)! Kudos on the rattan chair! I love them and have always wanted one too. Good for you!
@emgracewrites The Panera salad sounded delicious! I may have to go to Panera and see if they have it here in Wisconsin. Yum. Salads never taste as good to me when I make them at home! Also, writing is really good for my mental health as well. I've even started recording Marco Polo videos to myself as a form of journaling when I don't have time to write but need to get something out. It's all part of our wellbeing!
Just for Today- Drink 64 oz water [FOCUS POINT THIS MONTH]

Goals for 8/11
- eat at least 1500 calories
- Yoga
Didn’t do either of these today. Worked 9.5 hours, feeling really drained. It’s 8pm and my calorie tracker says I still have a whopping 600 calories to eat. No way I’m eating that much right before bed. Too tired to cook, so I think I’ll have some yogurt and some toast and just call today a loss as far as making progress toward my weight gain goals.4 -

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 July 11 10 AM. PCP Oct 21 10:30 TEL. Therapy 7/28 8A. Obgyn Oct 14 12:45.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 16 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?

Work was crazy yesterday, but that's the norm lately. Doc/shrink appointment went well. No changes to meds. Then went to mom's, the new doggo was so happy to see me. She is a very happy pup which warms my heart. Then I went home and Sierra was in a talkative mood so we talked for about 2 hours. It was nice even though some of the topics were tough. I hate that she is struggling with depression and anxiety. I hate even more that she feels weak if she takes medication. She would never think that of others, but she thinks that for her. I understand that as I struggled with it for a long time. All I can do is encourage her to continue seeing her therapist when she returns to school. Meant we had a late dinner, which is probably why my weight was up a tick today. I didn't do great with the mini meals yesterday either. Plan is to eat 6 times a day, 5 mini meals and then dinner, all of which is lower carb.
Anyway, today I plan to eat a little more so that I have energy to ride tomorrow morning, the calorie restriction is wearing on me a bit. If it's not raining I will mow when I get home as hubby's arm is shot. Got the MRI results the other day and they used words like, multiple, massive and nonrepairable to describe his tear. Apparently 2 of the 4 shoulder muscles are completely detached with no material left to reattach them so they are going to do a complete reverse shoulder replacement. Basically they restructure the shoulder so that the bicep muscles do the work that the now useless shoulder muscles used to do. On the up side the recovery is actually faster for the replacement than it would have been for the repair. Mowing our lawn in a workout in itself, so I'll earn my extra calories tonight.
Looking forward to tomorrow's River Trails & Ales Festival. I'm riding sweep for the short route, 15 miles. Then I'll probably hang downtown a bit and have lunch before heading home to get ready to go to the Ales part of the festival in the afternoon/evening with hubby. Not sure how my calories will be, but I've steady lost for 11 of the last 12 days so I can take a little temporary bump up.

@PackerFanInGB @pridesabtch Excellent recipe! https://healthyrecipesblogs.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/ When I make, I cut in half (or quarters, depending on how large) so sprouts are about the same size.

1) Walked dog 3.5 mi before work
happy dog & happy me
2) Two loads laundry washed & hanging on line before work / take laundry off line after work & unmentionables out of dryer at lunch

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.

- Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
- registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
- Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 (first time in person since 2019) ~ 1:41:02 ave. pace 16:27 first half 51:35 second half 50:26 & knees were fine
happy me - Packers 5K on 7.16.22 ~ 48:48 average pace 15:43 finished 37/81 in my age group (I'm oldest year in range haha)
- Registered for Bellin Women's 5K on 10/1/22 (Packers 5K discount yay)
- will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks & trees roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill and not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me)
- watch for other events to add
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement ~ not much progress lately, at least dining room done2 -

@pridesabtch So sorry to hear about boomer. The first dog I ever had got throat cancer. The whole family were upset for ages. He was our first dog and I know for one I had begged for a dog for about 3 years before they finally got him when I was 7.
And also sorry to hear about your husband's shoulder! That sounds very very painful. Glad they can do some sort of fix on it. I hope he recovers well x
@snowflake1968 I love your cabinets!!! I want one haha.
@PackerFanInGB My shin splints took about 4 days to stop hurting! So they're fine now. But has put me off running a bit. Definitely need to ease into it again. I'm not 20 anymore 🤣 the kids go back on the 5th September, so I've got 3ish more weeks of entertaining them 🤣🤣
And thanks to everyone who supported me through the kid drama. Feel much better about it. I felt awful for crying but I suppose you're right that them seeing that will cause no harm.
Ash's parents have just had them for 4 days (Monday to Thursday) so we had a much needed break and had a lovely "date day" we haven't done that properly in.. well years!!!
Anyway I slacked on posting on them 4 days and then haven't got back on it, we've had a heatwave though again and not really felt like eating much, it's just too hot!3 -

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.
