Mini Work Week 3

This was my last "mini week."  Monday I was at a professional development from 8:30-4 and went back to work yesterday for staff development.  Starting Monday it's full blown back at it, well at least as far as being at work from 8:30-4:30 is concerned.  I won't have children until the 20th.  I suppose then it'll REALLY be full blown!  Linking up with Amanda.

From the blog
Monday: I recapped the first weekend in August, AKA my last weekend before the school year starts again.

Wednesday: For Happiness Happens Day I shared 26 things that make me happy.

Thursday: I recommended products that other bloggers recommended & I then too fell in love with.

From the phone





What I was up to
Monday: I had a 7.5 hour training on "Restorative Practices."  Overall I actually didn't mind the training.  It was a really laid back format.  However, the chairs were super uncomfortable & like always, it was teaching practices that should be common sense.  Or maybe I find them to be common sense because of where I started teaching as opposed to where I work now.  Oh well.  After Thursday all of my hours for the year will be done which means no extra time spent doing training during the school year & I got to see my friends Ally & Lauren.  That evening I made sure to get a long, hot walk in around the park by where I live so that I could complete all of my Fitbit goals.

Tuesday: I started watching Shooter.  Dexter was recommended to me, as it has been dozens of times.  I actually went to start that because I thought it was on my watch list.  It wasn't there but Shooter was at the top & only had 2 seasons.  That's essentially all I did.  I went for a morning walk and an evening walk so that I could hit my Fitbit goals.

Wednesday: I went for a walk in the morning before I was supposed to donate blood.  I didn't make it to the donation appointment.  I should have inspected the location a lot better before picking it.  I would have had to deal with a ton of construction & paid the airport entrance toll fee to get there.  So instead I bought Nash a new bone & went home.  I finished up Shooter & started season 8 of Shameless.  I tried to take Nash on an afternoon walk but he gave up pretty quickly so I returned him home & then went on my second walk of the day before returning to Shameless.

Thursday: Back to work for real.  Staff development officially began.  Our high school is *still* under construction, and has been since last summer, and whatever they're doing right now means we had to meet elsewhere because there wasn't a space for the entire staff to fit in the building.  Luckily we also got out almost 2 hours earlier than scheduled!

Random thoughts & things
-If I didn't already think I had anxiety already, this article pretty much confirmed it.

-I'm thinking about moving back to the Houston area

-In just under 11 weeks I will turn 30.  One of my 30 by 30 goals was to reach my goal weight.  I weighed myself on Monday, 11 weeks to lose 15 lbs.  It's definitely not impossible, but that means until then I need to do my best to reach my Fitbit goals each day.
