Quiet day yesterday- worked mainly; finished unit plans through the end of the semester and worked on lesson plans (finished today).
Simple turkey breasts and gb casserole for dinner.
Today- need to clean the house. Xmas shopping on the agenda as well.
I started the Zyban/ Wellbuterin to quit smoking last week.
Smoke for a couple of weeks on the meds and then taper-off, or quit cold.
Seems to work well for the SAD as well- my holiday blues are not so bad since I've been on it.
Yesterday I ran out of cigarettes while working, but decided to keep working.... even though it was not all that long (maybe 8-9 hours; similar to a school day), the withdrawal was painful. Not sure why.
No movement on the foster/adopt plans..... I seem to be stifling with what needs to get done. Bedrooms not touched. Perhaps the realization...; well, we shall see.

Mid-month
Pre-season 'blahs' already present.
Not looking forward to the holiday madness, nor the 4-0 coming in a just over a month. Not sure what we will do for the holidays, but hopefully it will be somewhat sane.
Finished my DCFS classes; David still has a couple of weeks. No movement on the bedrooms or other projects to prep for foster/adoption. Honestly, there is no time- and budget is pinched right now. Not sure when we'll pick it back up. We need the homestudy to get the license, which means the rooms have to be finished. It'll come- just have to find the time.
I think I need to get a second job.
School this week was really a roller coaster. Feel pushed-pulled in various directions. Not sure where it will all end up.
Otherwise, feeling fat-fat-fat and otherwise out-of-it. A bit sick (cold) and definitely not getting enough sleep. Time for change and not feeling it; the end-of-year yo-yo.

Monday- Mood Ebbs
Ups and downs.
Last day of 4-day weekend and will be scrambling to get things done.
Lesson plans finished.
Slew of other TTDs on the agenda.
I hate procrastination.
Lesson learned, lesson learned.

Autumn
Blaming illness for procrastination. Not a good game to play, as I know the result.
Just having trouble getting things together this weekend. Facing a long list of TTDs and not clearing the list quick- finding other things to do instead, or rather, nothing to do.

November
Four-day weekend. Conferences begin, but I configured my schedule so that I could have today off. Monday is Veteran's Day. Should be a nice break (or not).
Confirmed diagnosis of shingles today. Was there to get blood work for physical. Minor case of shingles, but quite painful, almost burning sensation. Need to pick up RX at Target (anti-viral). It is near the end of the cycle (began last week), so not much can be done. David never had chicken pox, so he is at risk. Been somewhat ill for the week, noticing ear issues last week, cold, and acne is stirring up (sign something is up). Also a sebaceous cyst that is not healing. I'm supposed to go back to the Dr in 10 days. Hopefully things will be better by then.
Stress test on Monday.
Work has been somewhat bland, probably due to being sick. Fiesta on Wednesday, all classes + FLIC, so somewhat wiped out. End of quarter grades OK for the most part. Find my teaching is not at level, but could be from being sick. Have plans to do still- just getting tired of churning them out.
Conferences yesterday until 7, a few days next week and after. I find them somewhat boring- as do most students and parents- but they need to be done.
Grandma not doing so well, so we talked about going down to Monroe. David has his DCFS class on Monday, which is already a stretch for him (6-9 2x a week), so I did not want to push it. Maybe Thanksgiving.
My DCFS classes almost finished. Physical done (David needs his), and water test will be done by Monday. Contacted Colorado about a sibling group, whom may be out of the system soon- sad, but happy for them. They may still be available when we finish, but if not there are plenty more to consider.
Body-issues abound.
Not quite sure what the weekend will turn out to be. Things to do, but low-energy.
