9:33 a.m. - Okay...it's the start of a work week, but fortunately, the work week doesn't actually start until Wednesday.  Still, today I've managed to answer student and parent emails, get my agenda created and scheduled on the Google Classroom streams, and get Wednesday's assignment created and scheduled in the Google Classroom classworks.  With Amber's help, I also got the HHR down to Slayden's for repair work - after getting it stuck in my driveway.  Now I think I'm going to take a break and go downstairs and get a stretch and perhaps a little light lift with some abs exercise and perhaps a little time on the stationary bike.  By the way, the frost/ice formations on everything outside today is amazing...freezing fog has really made some spectacular crystal-looking formations...I wish I could go for a long-hike today, but my legs are tired from yesterday's officiating, and I have two high school games tomorrow night, so I'm trying to recover my legs a little.  Maybe I can find a hiking trail later this week.
