Year 5 y'all!! This is the toughest month to do a writing thing in - Grad class starts mid October, so November is a bulky, assignment loaded month, Thanksgiving weekend, random days off (ok, one, Veteran's Day), and usually the students are climbing the walls because Christmas break is so close. Or we teachers are banging our heads because we ( Read more... )

London! You sexy beast - after 5 years!

Made it to London, via the bus. We left our stop at 7ish p.m., got to the English channel ferry around 6:15 a.m. Needless to say we are all really tired because the bus sight seeing tour today was right as we got into the city, so started about 11 a.m., and we didn't get finished/dropped off at the hotel until 4 p.m.! Good thing I've been here ( Read more... )

VICTORY!!!!!

chris4short May 25, 2015 08:25

Let me say, this has been a long and drawn out journey - as much weight losses are - but I was super busy this time. Last time I did this and lost 30lbs (145 - 115) I was a substitute, looking for a job. It was stressful, but I could retreat to my own home and not be surrounded by the "bad" food I had cut out.

But today, the scale said I have ( Read more... )
