My Life from October 22-25

Since it has been a while, I'll probably split up my thoughts up into two posts. This one will be about what has been going on in my life. The next one will be about weight loss (or the lack thereof).

Last Saturday I went out to lunch with my friend Jenny. I went to her wedding back in the beginning of October. Even though we live a few hours away from each other, an opportunity came up where she was going to be in my neck of the woods. We went to Red Lobster since we both haven't been there for a while and thought it sounded good. We had a good time catching up and stopped by Kohl's for a few minutes afterwards to walk around. I got my usual lunch portion of grilled tilapia with rice, broccoli, and a salad.

Here's some pictures of the outfit and accessories I wore that day. I love the peace sign earrings with the black and grey striped shirt.

The rest of the weekend and beginning of this week was spent preparing for my fall music program at work. The second and third grades performed songs from the musical revue "We're Making Music" by Teresa and Paul Jennings (Music K-8 magazine has it if there are any music teachers out there reading this). The pictures below are from the backdrop I made and from left to right of the backdrop since it was too big to fit into one picture.

The program was on Tuesday after school and it went well. My CD player decided to stop working before the third grade program, but one of my fellow teachers had the magic touch to get it to work again. This is the second time that thing has not worked for me. I think it might be out to get me... On a positive note, I got some lovely flowers again after the program as a thank you.

From the third grade teachers.

From the PTO.

Another random work thing... This past week was spirit week for Red Ribbon Week, so I got to wear pajamas to work on Monday which was kinda fun and comfortable.

I stayed at home on Wednesday of this week, because I was still feeling sick. The antibiotics helped right away with the sore throat, but I've still been really low on energy. I've been coughing, sneezing, and having an on and off again runny nose. I think those symptoms are probably just my fall allergies acting up, but it is not fun in combination with whatever other illness I had. I slept for about 12 hours (minus taking the dogs out and feeding them). I sure hope that I get my energy back soon without the help of caffeine and 12 hours of sleep.

Thursday was the last day of the workweek for me. We have fall break this Friday and Monday. I'm looking forward to using this time to see some friends, relax, clean the house, and most importantly get back on track with the weight loss. My thoughts on that will be in the next post.
