I have a feeling that there was something I needed to do tonight that I haven't yet done. It's driving me up the wall.
Summer school is two days over and going reasonably well. The kids have been decently behaved in our class--it helps that there are two of us teaching, plus the Spanish teacher is in and out of the class that has all the ESL students, helping them. So that's, like, an 8-1 ratio, which is good for at-risk kids. Too bad that's not the norm during the real school year.
Making time to exercise is a bit of an issue, though. I keep setting my alarm to get up and do yoga before work, but then I don't get up in time. (In my defense, this morning I didn't get up early because the dog decided she had to go outside during the intense thunderstorm at 2:30 in the morning, then didn't do anything while she was out there. I, of course, was very awake for the next little while.) Yesterday, I did yoga and 30 min on the exercise bike right after the yoga when I came home from work, but today I didn't do anything. One issue is that the bike is sooooo much easier if I've done yoga first because I'm not fighting my own muscles. And then there's timing my eating around my exercise so that I don't eat right before yoga (hanging head below stomach right after eating = bad, bad idea) and so that I can eat something after due to the blood sugar crash exercise causes. It's so much easier when I don't have to schedule all of the above around work.

In more chipper news, I've started watching Castle, Lie to Me, and Drop Dead Diva and enjoying all of them. I am disturbed by Ben Feldman, though (Fred on Drop Dead Diva) because he looks uncannily like Scott Baio used to. It's messing with my brain, people. I keep thinking I'm back in the 80's and need to go put on some leg-warmers or something.
