Time for myself...

Time has flown...and "things" have changed since last I rambled at you. Shortly after my last post I ended my long-term subbing position (which had gone on for 3 months) and took a little time off. Actually, I worked in all the medical appointments and things that I had been putting off for work. I worked a couple of days a week and took the rest of the time for myself and the things that I needed/wanted to get done. My husband and I, along with two other couples, headed out in our motorhome and their travel trailers for a week at Lockhart State Park. We went hiking (and got lost), shopped at quaint little shops in Wimberly, shared meals and fellowship, visited a goat farm, and just generally relaxed. It was refreshing...and renewing. Ahhhhh! The only thing that would have made it better is if my allergies hadn't flared up and I hadn't come home with bronchitis which I battled for two solid weeks before I began to improve! During our trip I got a follow-up call on a medical appointment I had prior to the trip. Seems my blood sugar is too high and I must change my diet and get that under control. It's not ridiculously high...most of the time. I bought a glucose monitoring kit (the finger prick thingy with the machine that tests the blood drop) and have changed my diet radically. I still can't seem to get the reading down to the 80 - 100 range where Dr. S wants it. Guess that means there is more work to be done! Hubby is looking into vacation options for us for late June. That's the only time I will have off since I agreed to teach computer lab in summer school and that starts on July 7th. I'm actually looking forward to that. Four days a week for four weeks. No lesson plans and no papers to grade. Now really, who could turn down that kind of a deal? That said, I will have four weeks off before summer school begins and three weeks off after it ends. Niiiccceeeee! Took a short (overnight) trip to Shreveport with "the girls." Lost my butt! 'Nuff said. Went to the Ranger game Wednesday night. They were "playing" (and I use that term loosely) Seattle. I stopped paying attention in the 3rd inning when we were already down 16-0. It was ridiculous...painful to watch. I turned in my paperwork to sub again next year. Figure I'll give it one more year. After that... That's all my news. It's summer and I'm taking it slow and easy. Wishing you the opportunity to carve out some time to do the same. Till next time... ~Cheers!
