How did school go today? 

Big Hugs!!!

School was fine. My room is all set up, neat and presentable. The tech team came in this afternoon and set up 4 new (to me) mini macs and carted off my hodgepodge of three old computers. A very odd thing though, my room had not been cleaned! First time in 22 years my custodian didn't have my room sparkling. I thought she must have resigned over the summer, but no, she hadn't. Very odd. So, I pulled out the cleaning wipes and got down to business. Sort of irksome.

I will go in tomorrow and start planning curriculum and get a head start on mapping out the next several months. One of my teaching partners has ADHD and is all over the place during our planning meetings, so if I have things outlined ahead of time, it helps me focus on what needs to get done.

I was very happy to find that I'm starting the year with a full class load. That always makes me happy. So much easier than when they dribble in during the first weeks of school.  

Back from a week of travel, combo of work and personal.  Went to a place with great food and even better beer.  Overdid it.  185 today.  Back to the plan.  Happy Monday!

128.4 - up some. Starting to get sick. Sinus drainage, sore throat, little bit of headache. I feel run down for sure. Tried to go on the treadmill at lunch today at work and only got in 15 minutes before I decided I had had enough. Will try to get better sleep tonight!

Sounds like rest is needed for sure!  

Hard enough to workout without feeling bad to start.  Hope you feel better soon.

198.  Happy to be squarely back in one-derland, however, I am up 13-16 lbs from where I was.  I hit 182 but was hanging mostly at 185 before I skyrocketed.  What happened?  I loosened the reins.  How do I get back on path?  Tighten the reins.  Simple?  It is so hard, but it is getting done.

But I had every reason to loosen the reins.  Tons of reasons, excuses and I really should be let off the hook.  It doesn't matter.  Life is not fair.  I gotta do what I gotta do or there are consequences.  Why is this such a difficult thing to get through my thick head?

Speaking of thick, I went to my daughter's house yesterday and swam all day in her pool wearing my two piece bathing suit that I only wore once previously in Atlantic City!  Sure, the only people who saw me were family, but strangers were WAY easier to face than family!  Delusional confidence is the key.  Make believe you have confidence and you get confidence.

131 so the boomerang pound is back, dang it. No reason other than lack of exercise. Why can't I get that lesson through my head?

Feeling really apprehensive about upcoming arrangements with my mother. Trying to get a unit in the assisted living wing but Atilla the roommate changes her stripes daily. And then there are the logistics of getting furniture moved etc. Oh well, I will power through it. 

Hope to hear more about the library job. Always thought I would like that. My recently deceased sister in law did a lot of work on getting the new small town library going and memorials are going to that library. A good thing. 

Gotta get some photos for upcoming art show. Its always something. 

Yep I hear ya Kairk. Ignoring problems usually makes them fester and worse.  Thanks for the reminder.

Eat Healthy my skinnies and move it to lose it. (I need to take my own advice).

More Adventures of the Librarian will be in your future I'm sure!!! 

Sure hope you get things settled with your Mom.  I know that has to be rough.
