Week 23 - Enter the June (fitness) bug

Saturday, June 1 - 

3,415 steps

 Today, I started off my month of fitness with the best possible thing happening. The band on my watch broke. *face palm* I ordered a new one, but it won’t be here until next week. However, I think I can rig it to work, but I’ll have to see about that tomorrow.

 To deal with my frustration, I decided to clean my room. It feels SO much better in my space now. Tomorrow I will move on to another room of the house to make it feel better too.

 I am also going to try and eat better, which I started some in May. So, I’ll take some photos and measurements tomorrow and add them to the blog and track throughout the month to see if I can actually lose a little weight or redistribute the weight I have.

 We traveled to my hometown for a birthday party of a family friend today. She turned 2. It was wonderful to see her, her brother, and her mama. We had a very nice visit and I helped out with serving cake, pouring drinks and setting up the table so the birthday girl’s mom could enjoy the party and not have to worry about those small details. After we left the party, we went to my favorite pizza place in town and had a yummy meal before heading home. Once home, I decided it was time to tackle the bathroom. I feel a lot better now that it and my room are in better shape. Now to move on to other rooms in the house when I've got time to focus and get it done to my standard.

 The beginning of the final full week of summer school! Woo hoo!!! Nothing much to report today as it was a slow day. I did have one student finish and we chatted about books for about 45 minutes. That was nice.

 

June 4th - 

3,556 steps

 Today was a day full of typing up tickets for student chromebook repairs. Overall there have been over 200 tickets submitted to the system. My little fingers are tired! I had another student finish today. Woo hoo! The little one had a coding group thing at the local library for the reading program he is participating in this year. We drove up there because we didn’t have enough time to walk after I got home from work. Maybe I’ll be able to make it home in time to walk next week, but then again I may not because it’s the last day of summer school.


June 5th - 

7,457 steps

 The last student that has pretty consistently shown up for Summer School finished today! They had one test left to finish and they were done before 9 am. I am so glad that I can now get a big bulk of the stuff done that needs to be completed before my summer break begins. I gave the go ahead to shampoo the carpet in the Media Center. Because I gave the go ahead, I need to move all of the tables out of the way and clear space to have the student workers do what they need to do. The little one signed up to participate in a Lego group that is part of the summer program at the library. Again, I didn’t make it home in time to walk up there, regardless he had a good time.


June 6th - 

8,114 steps

 The week is winding down. With the bulk of students being done with Summer School, I’m able to step away from my desk and get some other things done around the Media Center. I covered books, sorted papers, and cleaned off some surfaces that had clutter on them.

 The little one had dance class tonight and I kind of want to join him and do the same activities while I watch because they don’t seem like they’d cause injury or anything. Perhaps I’ll do the stretching alone with the class next week. After class ended, he wanted to go for a walk so we walked around downtown a bit. It’s always nice when he wants to do that. I need to tell him yes much more often.

Week 6

Image
  February 4 -   I didn’t go to sleep until around 4 am. I really shouldn’t have had a soda so late in the day on Saturday, especially since I’ve been cutting back so much. Lesson learned!   I was looking forward to spending some quality time with the book I’m reading, but life got in the way and I was needed in other places. Oh well. I did get to read a little and I think that the reason life keeps pulling me away from the book is because once I really get into it, I won’t want to put it down.  No decluttering done today, unless you count getting the three pies out of the house and to the pie auction! LOL! February 5 -   Back to work. I’m still a little tired from the weekend, so no decluttering today. I really need to find some focus to get this task completed.  I think I’ll go to bed and read some tonight and see if I can fall asleep earlier than usual. February 6 -   Today is my oldest son’s birthday. He is now considered a man,...

Week 20 - The last week

Image
May 12 -  The boys and my sister treated me to a wonderful day today. I am so thankful for all 3 of them! Due to the nature of the “holiday” I didn’t do any work around the house. However, I’ve noticed some things I can do outside tomorrow, weather permitting. May 13 -  As my lawn guy hasn’t been by to mow, I took it upon myself to charge up the battery for my weed eater and start hacking away at the front yard. With all the rain the past few weeks, I understand that those working in lawn care are behind schedule, however, the city I live in has these stupid, arbitrary rules about the length of grass and how citizens in this fine town will be penalized when their lawn doesn’t fit within those certain parameters. I despise those kinds of rules, so I will be plotting ways to make my yard either invisible to those in “power” OR to plant a BUNCH of flowers (hopefully mostly native) so they can grow freely and the rules won’t apply.  I’ve seen more than one house in this town ...

Week 19 - Oh look, even more lasts

Image
May 5th -  Well, the rain had plans for us this week. Key Club was supposed to do sidewalk chalk for Teacher Appreciation Week, but due to the rain (at least it wasn’t during prom) the students made posters instead. While students made posters, I took down photo booth decorations and listened to them talk about prom. It seems like everyone had a good time. After hours of that I returned home to veg out. So, no home improvement projects today. May 6th -  The first full day of Teacher Appreciation Week. There’s a lot to organize this week, so I don’t foresee much happening at home. Between planning for the week and doing a final check (or two) on the senior video, I’m pretty tired just thinking about it; and it's only Monday.  May 7th -  Today members of Key Club had a catered meal provided for the teachers. The students cleared plates, filled glasses with drinks, and did the bulk of setup and clean up. Talk about a gift! The meal was a huge success and the students we...
