A Summer Cold and Classes

I was all set to give my best on this first week of my summer break, but I have been sick all week. The cold started last weekend and I'm still feeling it. I also got sick to my stomach and have been eating bland foods which means lots of carbs. I haven't been sick to my stomach for almost 48 hours, but I'm still not feeling up to eating normal food yet. I've spent most of this week sleeping, watching TV, sleeping while the TV is on, and reading for my summer classes. I've decided to let myself just get better first and then get back on track. My dogs have also been lazy right along with me:

As for classes, I'm really enjoying them minus the discomfort of being sick and trying to stay awake and concentrate. Summer classes are only eight weeks which means projects due quicker than last semester. Also, when I'm physically in class, I'm there from 4-10 pm which means six hours! Luckily we only meet in class once a week and have assignments online for the other "class" period. So far the diversity class is my favorite. We did an activity last night where everyone had to wear a label on their back with a description of a person from a non-dominant cultural group. Then we had to walk around and tell each other stereotypes while we figured out who we were. Of course I got stuck with a difficult one!

Other than that, I really haven't been up to much. I did happen to stumble upon a few garage sales on the way to the grocery store today. I love getting some clothes to tie me over for the summer at such great prices. Here are some of the things I got today:

Once I'm feeling back to normal, I have a meal plan and some exercise ideas in mind to get the summer weight loss started. Until then, I guess I deal with the major weight gain last week and four pounds down this week due to not keeping my food down the other day.
