So much is happening right now that it is hard to organize it all. Let's do some sections, shall we? Feel free to skip the sections that don't interest you. :)

Home

Ooooh. Big, shiny new A/C unit!

We've had a fair amount of rain in the last week. One night I heard a dripping on the ceiling. Well, it looks like a vent in our roof was not properly sealed and since we had a new A/C system put in that leak now hits the ceiling of a closet (it was the A/C closet). My husband cut a hole out of the (very damp) drywall of the ceiling of the closet and we have a bucket under it. That wasn't too much fun.

Car
Yesterday my husband and I went to the school to get some work done since classes begin in just over a week. Well, on our way there a pick-up truck decided to make a left turn into our lane. I don't know how he didn't see us but he nearly ran us over. Luckily I had quick reflexes and swerved into the other lane and hit my horn. Our vehicles barely missed each other. I'm so glad there was no one in that lane because I didn't have time to check! The guy drove on. I had to pull off the road because it shook me up pretty bad. I've been in a few car accidents and I just don't do well with them.

School

Window cover I made for hard lock downs

The cover rolls up. Thanks, Velcro!

I'm in a new classroom this year so I started setting it up last Thursday. Things are moving along. Unfortunately the previous teacher didn't do anything about the students writing on the wall so I have some *ahem* interesting drawings and language that needs to be painted over. I erased what was done in pencil. My biggest problem was my closet. I have this awesome, big built-in closet with a lock. The problem is that it was locked and no one knew where the key was. Today someone in our custodial staff got a new key for me! Yay!

Health
I didn't take my walk Saturday. :( It had rained a lot and, honestly, I wanted to sleep in just one last time before I go back to work. I walked on Sunday! I also took my measurements. Remember, these numbers are compared to my starting point.

• Weight: -.8
• Bust: 0
• Band: 0
• Waist: -1"
• Hips: -.5"

No real results yet since 1) my changes are small 2) weight naturally fluctuates some and 3) measuring myself is hard! I'm also trying to make a conscious effort to drink more water. I recently saw a video of a kidney stone being removed. I don't know why the heck I watched it but OH MY GOSH, that is motivation to drink water!

Looking Ahead
Tomorrow I am co-presenting with my husband and a co-worker at our professional development. I'm hoping it goes well! The rest of this week is in-service. :(

That's all for now, folks! See ya Wednesday!
