Just Another Blog Entry

I don't really have anything earth shattering to discuss but it's a low key night so I thought I'd write my Grandma a letter and create another entry for the blog.   I thought it would be an easy going week but I've been quite busy at work with summer camp tasks and CPR training.   The custodians decided that my floor needed to be waxed this week too so I spent a lot of time clearing out things that were moveable.   It was inconvenient but also nice because it forced me to clean and toss a lot of stuff in my office.   I am working from home tomorrow as I won't be able to set foot in my office.   My boss at DMACC changed the textbook for my summer class so I need to review my upcoming presentations and make sure they fit the chapters.  I'm still a little puzzled as to why the book was changed without talking with the instructor. 

The Midwest is obviously reeling from the crazy weather in the past days.   Iowa is lucky to not have been hit as hard as Oklahoma.   I usually love stormy weather but even I will admit the weather on Sunday was a little scary.   I think our garden will bounce back minus a few plants that will need to be replaced.   It's Murphy's Law that things get crazy when Jon leaves the state and isn't here to help with his Emergency Management crew. 

I have been able to read for pleasure.   I started with some books that LeAnn let me borrow.   I read "The Weird Sisters" when I was traveling to and from Michigan.   It was OK but I wasn't in love with the story line.   I read "Sarah's Key" next and really liked the story.   It is associated with World War II and the Holocust and those topics trip my trigger.   I am reading "The Paris Wife" next.   I may try to read "The Girl with the Draggon Tattoo" after that.   I have a hankering to read some Stephen King too so I'll have to work that in.

I'm planning to attend Weight Watchers tomorrow as I've not officially weighed-in forever.   Well it seems like forever.  I have no clue what I weigh right now.  Sigh.

Here are some things I need to change to get back on track:

• drinking less soda as I'm being too indulgent
• eating breakfast regularly as well as eating a nutrient dense lunch
• controlling how much I eat night with supper and late night snacking
• including purposeful exercise/physical activity at least three days a week

I also spent a lot of time today (more time than I thought was needed) trying to schedule a hearing test.   It was confusing as the office in Ames was telling me information that conflicted with my primary physican's office.   Sadly I cannot have the test until June 17.   I'm interested to see what my results are because I can tell that something is "off" whether I'm at work or at home. 

Ok, time to create a letter for my Grandma!
