labor day blues

well, not really a sad day. I've gotten a lot of clerical/lesson planning work done. and I've got some time in the day before I really have to start winding down. And if Staples or whatever Office Depot is close enough now is open, let alone still open, I just might go in to make copies of forms, syllabi, etc. Problem with that is I don't want to pay for a bunch of copies I won't need because the enrollment is still rolling over and whatnot and if I make 200 copies but only have 150 students and we never have a turnover of those other 50 students...yeah, it can get a bit costly since I have a bit I want copy. Actually a couple of those things I still need to type up.

I've also been on a bit of a fast today. I JUST ate a bag of lite microwave popcorn about a couple hours ago and I've had a bit of water. The last meal I had before that was rib tips, fries, and bread around 4pm yesterday so I figured I needed to just lay low on food. I knew I wouldn't be going all out today and moving around so I wouldn't be super dizzy and tired and hungry. I've been sitting here typing and researching so I've saved some calories. I even resisted the urge to have another bag of popcorn. But well, the rib bones in the fridge, baked sweet potatoes and cabbage that I have yet to have and they were made by mom like ...Friday I think...are calling me! the boy is napping and I'm sure he'll be awake soon, within the 1/2 hour to hour and he'll want to grub...maybe....he didn't want any ribs or fries yesterday...think the sauce was a bit spicy for him and he fussed at the tingle! po baby!

okey dokey, not a long post but need to get back to posting. I'll understand if you all aren't commenting here because I haven't been stopping in on your blogs either. I hope to get back into a routine soon! I found out that I can purchase/find a cord that will allow me to use my own laptop at work through their wifi connection so I can leave that horribly slow ancient windows 95 or 98 computer they have there alone! and i don't even give those Macs a 2nd look unless it's a side-eye!! the combo of being a Mac AND being an older model...barf!!
