Busy Week

The kids all seem to be doing okay with adjusting to school. Cards still insists that he doesn't have any friends. He's gone to the church youth group the last two weeks so I'm hoping he's getting to know some kids. I helped in Trixie's class one morning. That will become a regular thing. In a couple weeks I'll be helping in Dash's class, too. Sometimes I'll work with students and sometimes do things to help their teachers.

Trixie and Dash's school was locked down because of a police incident in the area. The kids were safe. However, it certainly makes me wonder if not homeschooling is the right choice.

This was the slingshot week for carb-cycling. All high carb meals. Only lost .2 pounds. Certainly wish that decimal point was on the other side of the 2. Last week's weigh-in was 1.4 pounds. My grand total is now 4.8 pounds lost. Hopefully with getting back to a regular cycling week that next week's number will be better. I also missed a shredding session because I helped with picture day at school. Had to be there early. Although, that doesn't provide a sufficient excuse why I couldn't walk in the evening. I also did half a walk on Friday because I took the dog with me. He isn't good for intervals. Friday was really off waiting for the FedEx man to come with my new mattress. How easily I get derailed. Need to have a plan B in place when things don't go as planned.

For my Mt. Vernon, I started with the future bathroom. I sorted the stuff that was on the storage shelves. I picked up a couple new totes. Doc unpacked stuff and just had it on the shelves. I'm grouping stuff and putting it in labeled totes. So kitchen items will be together. I'll post little index cards on the shelves listing what is on there so when we have to retrieve something it will be easier to find. I hope. Because of my two mornings at school, I didn't get done as much as I could have. I was going to work on it today, but spent a lot of time emptying Trixie's room. Oh my goodness, she has a lot of stuff.

Failures of the week have been noted and a plan of attack for next week are in the works.
