The 1st day went well! The middle school teachers said this group would be as tough as last year. Maybe they will show themselves differently in the coming days, but they sure didn't come in all hot and guns blazing like my kiddos last year. I didn't hear anyone swear or call each other derogatory names. They came to class on time. They answered questions directed towards them. So I'll call that a good day.

167.4, another uptick but I'm not sweating it! Feeling better, food is mostly going down easier. Still waiting to take my weekly shot. I did get my 1000 calories in yesterday and am on track for today!

Much needed haircut this morning! I always love a fresh cut!

I met with a new care receiver for my Stephen's Ministry program today. We hit it off beautifully and I think it will be a good match. I'm essentially there to be a non judgmental listening ear!

Mushroom Swiss burgers were excellent last night, wish I could have finished the one small burger I made for myself. Tonight is BLT's since neighbor is giving us weekly tomatoes from his garden.

Not much else going on with me today. Think I will work on some scrapbooking. Need to fini**** up so I can sell my supplies before our move.

Glad you got good rest Liz, enjoy the beach sitting!

Peps, I still have work related dreams! I bet yours will continue as well. Funny thing is I still have school related dreams (can't find my classroom, forgot to study for the test, etc) and I have not been in classroom since 1992! I had to giggle about your cheating on the mandatory safety videos. I would do the same as you! Why not? If you can pass the test, you know the stuff! Other than that , I'm such a rule follower!

I finally slept last night! Amazing how much better one feels mentally and physically after sleeping well. This morning feels like fall - very crisp and clear.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours sorting through the first box of pictures I brought here. Amazing how few are worth keeping years later. We did make it to the beach eventually but it was fairly cool so did not wear bathing suits and just went late in the day to read. We had a great piece of swordfish cooked on the grill for dinner.

I received an email from the claims person on my rodent chewed car - they are looking at it on Thursday, so that means I will have lost a minimum of another 1.5 weeks use of my car. The mileage sure is not going to show much change this year!

I'm not sure what we will do today. We are still at DH's place and will return to mine either late tomorrow or early Thursday. We might go to Chatham as I need to order DH's birthday gift there and then go out to eat or we might go to the beach here.

That's it for the rundown! Have a tremendous Tuesday!

Happy Labor Day, one and all!

Today was filled with labor for me! Up and out reasonably early to Lowe's. Picked up plywood, screws, wood glue and brought it all to BFF's. Made the first cut of wood for the crate platform in the "Kid" (Diane S's idea for a name.... though I'm not sure it will stick... But I will tell you, the thing sure is nimble like a little goat!). After that was done, we did some more measuring, closed up shop at BFF's house and drove back to my place where project "return-the-RV-back-to-original-condition" began. As always, what should have been a 90 minute project took almost 3 hours. But... The GOAT is back to its original configuration! Dinette is all back in place, bolted down, and ready for occupants. The wall hung collapsable table is back on the wall and "tuned up" for a better drop into the bed configuration. With that done, all I have to do now is empty it and give it a deep clean. Whew! I should be all done with my end of the RV preparation for sale by the end of the week.

Poor sleep must be in the air. I did not sleep well last night either. The consolation is that I'll be tired this evening and get to bed at a decent hour, which is hard for me when the weekend comes to a close.

Dropped almost 2 pounds from yesterday, so today is a new low. Whoo hoo.... Seems like that is how I'm losing. I hang out at a weight for a while and then Poof... I drop a couple of pounds, level out and do the same again. Right now only 3 more pounds to my next mini goal. Makes me happy... Yes, it does indeed!

Until tomorrow!

In the spirit of making the day truly yours (Thanks Miss 150), we went kayaking. So many birds of various kinds. Whatever task I postponed, it was worth it.
