Back to Work Today

Thought I’d try to get back into the Blog365 a bit. (Still sharing random pictures from the weekend trip)

Today, I had to go back to work. The weekend was nice. We got back on Sunday but I’m so glad I took yesterday off as well. Had no idea how badly I needed just a day at home to regroup and have no obligations. Well, outside of taking J to his lesson but I don’t mind that at all.

At Work

I had to sub in the kitchen today. Ugh. Except it wasn’t too bad today. Made more sunbutter and jelly sandwiches than you want to know. Then, they asked me to step into a classroom for the rest of the afternoon. That was nice to get to be out around the kids a bit. Back in the kitchen again tomorrow.

Another easy kitchen day, I have to make hot dogs (lots of ’em) and slice apples but that’s it. I’ll still be wishing I was out with the kids though.

At Home

Came home tonight and made a decently accepted dinner of potato, onion, pepper, and sausage hash. Tomorrow, someone else can be in charge of dinner. Then, checked on the gardens….tomorrow will be a watering day.

Rest of My Week

The second half of the week is still busy. I’m excited that I finally made myself an eye appointment to get some new glasses. That happens Thursday morning. So overdue on so many things that I need to do for myself. Then, J has an afternoon appointment, and I have a tiny amount of work. More work on Friday but thankfully, in the classroom.

Not much else going on around here….just looking for some more lazy summer days. Not sure I’m going to find any until the weekend.

    1. Yes, I do seem to be quite busy with work this summer. Thank you, it’s hard to tell but it’s actually a rainbow trout in the photo.

  1. I think I commented on your HHM when I meant to post it here – that I’m catching up about your trip and pics and you’re helping at school. Lol I too am continuing to find what works for me as a full life style change to lose weight. I recently saw a guy on the today show that lost a lot of weight and all of his bad cholesterol numbers went down etc and his good numbers improved. And all he did was eat McDonalds everyday for 100 days. But he only ate the 3 meals (no snacking in between). And he cut everything he ate in half. So he only ate half the meal he once did. He did it along with his wife and she lost weight too as she did same thing. Half the amount she used to eat. They also only ate when they felt their bellies burn/rumble with real hunger. He also drank water not soda. And they also walked or moved a bit each day.

    His whole point as I understood it was – just eat less and move more. Listen to your body and only eat when you’re hungry – not bored etc. I thought that was pretty interesting. 😉

    1. We eat at McD’s too much as it is but oh, the thought of every day turns my stomach a bit. Seems expensive. Yes, I think there’s a movement called intuitive eating that is supposed to be like that (listening to your body, etc). The stress of the past few years didn’t help any of us. I finally feel like I can start focusing on myself a bit more (with slightly less guilt) but I still crave the sweets and the chips. Ha. Hope you are having a great weekend!
