Falling Off the Wagon...a little bit

Greetings:

It's Midterm Week!   And I'm actually organized and on-top of the extra duties I need to perform for both institutions this week.   All my midterms have been turned in for ISU and I'm waiting for my DMACC students to finish their online midterm exams tomorrow.   I usually have to scramble on Thursday and/or Friday of this week.   I don't miss that!

Next week will be slightly stressful as one of my classes is providing a health fair for a local elementary.   Even though this happens every semester, it's always a struggle to organize and makes me nervous.

Weight loss was 'meh' last week as I only dropped 0.4 lbs.   I wasn't shocked though due to some food choices.    I gained this week which was further confirmation that I need to get it together and be mindful about eating choices.   I went from "eating better tastes awesome" to getting sick of my food choices and wanting more variety.   The variety usually leads to less healthy foods.   I am on a mission to buy some zucchini today or tomorrow as sauteing that for a meal is delicious. 

I finally finished the book Emma.   The end of the book was decent and slightly predictable.   It is way too long.   Jane Austin could have made her point easily with about 100 less pages in the story.   I am now working on the remaining portion of The Kite Runner.   I do want to read Gone Girl too but it was a little pricey on the Kindle.   I may just borrow that one from the library.   The movie was great.   One of the best movies I've seen in a theater in a long time.  

I finally got information about the billing for my accident in August.   I am grateful for having decent health insurance.   I need to have LaCrosse and Waukon re-submit some things so my insurance processes the services as "in-network".   I've been playing phone tag with people in the last days.    They always call when I'm teaching.    I had guessed my ambulance trip was $1000 and I was almost right on the money.  

Happy Friday!
