Friday, August 8

4:55 a.m. - It's Friday!  It's been a productive "back-to-school" week.  I'm watching the weather, and the weekend is going to feature a lot of rain Saturday night, so I need to at least mow the back south yard around the ditch area sometime before the rains come in.  Maybe I can get that done today.  

Yesterday was "meeting day" - an admin meeting, a security cameras meeting, and a meeting with our new P.E. teacher.  Today, my only meeting is taking Mr. Morgan out for lunch.  Yesterday, I did get out my schedule and agenda for the first two days, so that was good.  Letting the staff ponder over that information to bring their thoughts and concerns is a good idea.  

Yesterday was also my best "eating day" of the week.  It would be nice to continue that today.  I am going to get over to the YMCA this morning and get in some resistance training.  I like wear my training is headed; I'm trying to minimize the number of exercises I try to complete, and I'm trying to concentrate on my glutes and hamstrings to help out my quads.  I wish I would have lost more weight over the summer, but wishing doesn't do much for me.  I really just need to keep exercising and focus on good eating.

Yesterday I did get the HHR back...the old girl had a shake in it, and apparently the shocks were really bad, so the crew at Slayden's installed new shocks, and that seems to have done the trick.  Nothing $300 can't take care of, right?  That HHR has cost me a little money this week, but I'm glad to get those things done this week, and a little maintenance will hopefully let the HHR last me awhile longer.  I keep looking on Marketplace for another vehicle, but I haven't found anything yet that I'm comfortable looking more into.  I'm looking at something a little bigger with around 100,000 miles and under $5,000.
