What can YOU do today? TUES. 3/19

Sorry for the wind Becky. Hope tomorrow's better. Thanks for your well wishes

Okey dokey

I can report that I have about 8200 steps logged.

Ya got laugh. . . all day my intuition was trying it's darnedest to give me a heads up. I finally got smart after the third--gotcha moment.
When I arrived on campus, the lil voice in my head-- walk up the steps, then down the halls.  So I added the 5 flights of stairs & hallways on each floor to reach my office. This led me to see a cancelled class notice for a colleague. As I read it, I just knew he was in the hospital. Had a niggling idea that I might be substituting for him.  Then I shook it off.
Later in the day, the Chair just stopped to chat. I got a mental image of him asking me to take one or more of my colleagues' classes. this week.   But then he did not. 
As I walked to my car, my ESP sent the idea that it was a good thing that I have a very small batch of papers to grade. Why?  Because I would be substituting for Fred.  I said to myself-- "girl, give it up since I was mentally calculating the extra money."

So... as I was leaving Aldi's, no surprise,  our adm. asst. called for the Chair and asked me to teach for Fred tomorrow.  he's in the hospital.
Dropped my groceries off, drove back to school to pick up the textbook & his syllabus so that I could guess where he is in the course.
As I was driving, my intuition said that my chair would ask me take on more classes.  At that point, I stopped arguing w/ my little voice.

Got a call to that effect while I was driving.

   So now I am filling in for Fred on W, TH, and F.
Came home-- and my spider sense was still tingling-- the message was that there's a glitch that you better discover.  Otherwise, you will  walk into the classroom  totally unprepared for something about which student will want answers..
Believe me__ I said I am listening! You have my attention,
Discovered that Syllabus states that there is 100 point quiz scheduled for W & TH. At least I know that and can tell the students in 3 different classes that is postponed until Fred returns. So I will not look like a boob tomorrow. Or at least not for that reason!

He's teaching about the New Deal. I am off to review my notes on the N Deal.   Fred probably will not like how I handle the material.  I will spend a considerable amount of time examining the CCC,
 

   

(((hugs))) June. Just what you need...more on your plate.

Becky good luck in replacing your recumbent bike. Hope you find something that is more suitable and comfortable for you at a good price.

Well, I did get out for a short hood walk. I was sitting down reading and just getting bummed out so I put on my coat leashed LuLa, called for Carl and off we went

Now it's time to relax.

Again, thanks for all the moral support.

Becky I let my scale be my guide. If it's a special occasion I will dip into them. To me it's a balancing act. I almost never eat my fitpoints.

Ann, I’m glad the dentist found the infection and hope you feel better.
La Donna, hope the taxes are straightened out.
I have a post it by the coffee pot that says ACV, honey and stevia
June, I am so sorry you have additional teaching responsibilities. Just what you don’t need. Definitely don’t worry about the other teacher’s thoughts on how you teach He should be glad someone is teaching his class.

So my son calls at four to say he and the boys would like to come for dinner tonight because his wife is going out with the girls.I am in the process of dropping off two meals. One is for a woman who lives nearby this has been died recently of a massive stroke.The other is for my daughters friend whose husband is still in the hospital in Argentina.She lives across town.So I told my son don’t you dare show up before 6 PM because I have to do the clutter the house for the boys for two loads of laundry and relax for 15 minutes or so.Today was the massage then CVS and the grocery store and then eating a fast lunch before I went to Leo’s school, doing two loads of laundry still not put away, and delivering those meals. I could probably fall asleep soon but I’m off to get ready for the boys and I’m sure they will all have a great time.I told Rob to pick up Middle Eastern dinners for him the boys and my husband and I would make my own meal that I had planned. I will reimburse him for his expenses, Awesome soup Bee, and I wish I had some now
