First Week of 2011

Somewhat of a whirlwind, really.

Pretty much the 'WORK' week thus far, will finish the week over the 60-hour mark, which is quite too much. Grading and more grading- up until midnight Thursday, making Friday was somewhat off-kilter (but it worked). Revamped schedules (once again), so it will be a bit easier- basically review and exams for the next couple of weeks- but very accountable.

The week did go by pretty quick though.

I need to re-approach second semester from a different direction, as I am not getting the results I want. Not sure yet.

Two week mark of not smoking- feels like longer. Driving is getting much easier (chewing gum), but mornings, in general, seem to be the worst until 11 or so. Especially on days off. Once I hit 4-5 o'clock, I have no cravings at all. Meds working as well as they should, I guess, although I wish there was something to deal with the cravings (and subsequent eating).

Gym is on during the week, but still fighting the afternoon workout and weekend. Do not understand why it is such a struggle.

No movement on DCFS- still waiting for David to have his med physical. No rush really, as nothing will happen until post-Spain, but we need the homestudy to get the license to be able to get more info.

Bathroom on the agenda right now- need to make some changes, and waiting for another estimate. Going to be somewhat expensive, but it needs to be done before any kids come. Also working on the first bedroom.

It is all so slow and sporadic. I just need to focus and get stuff done.
