Revelation!

Yesterday, as I labored through mowing the front yard (had to take 1 rest for water), I realized that one thing that I should probably be supplementing in my diet is protein. I mean, I eat and I eat well. Typically I have 2 meals a day which is not any different from before GLP though my portion size has reduced a bit. However, when I looked up how much protein I should be getting, I'm guessing I'm not getting enough. (With my weight I should be getting between 72 and 86 grams.) I often make a smoothie in the morning and add peanut butter and my vital proteins helps but I think I still need to supplement beyond that. So, yesterday I went on Amazon and purchased a couple containers (strawberry and vanilla peanut butter) and I'm hoping it helps with my stamina and then possibly building back my butt. I'm happy with my arms and legs in terms of muscle tone but my butt needs a boost. Stay tuned. 

I slept like doo doo last night and I'm not sure why. I didn't have anything on my mind that was causing me worry. I wasn't hot. My shoulder was okay - not giving me too many fits. So what was it? I woke up around 3:00 and was tempted to just get up and read my book but decided to just lay there until one of the dogs got up. In the end, around 5:30, Scout jumped up on the bed to look out the window, hoping to see a deer. When he started to whine a bit (there was no deer there) I decided to start my day. At least I don't have much on my agenda. 

Speaking of which, today the only thing I need to do is go to Kroger. I went to Aldi yesterday but they didn't have water chestnuts and I'm making chicken salad for dinner and my curry chicken salad just isn't the same without them. Other than that and my normal stuff...I've got nothing. I'll probably spend some time in the spa, maybe clean a bit and then just chill. I might take a bike ride before it gets to awful out there. 

The master schedule came out yesterday for the school year and thankfully, no one fucked with the schedule we'd set for the sped department. This means that my schedule this coming year will be exactly what it was last. In other words, I have 5th bell plan which is awesome! Additionally, I start and end my day with Guided Intervention (sped study hall). I hate having to teach an academic 7th bell so this is, again, awesome. 

Oh, get this! As you may remember, the Egberts flew out yesterday to visit with Charlie's brother Tom and his wife in Alabama. Their flight was taking off around 5:00. Eva was bringing along a friend. Around 3:00, Maggie called me to say that Eva's friend backed out last minute. I mean was a fucking asshole. Maggie said her mom said she was "sick" but no one believes that. Eva was soooooo pissed and rightfully so. I mean, who backs out of a commitment like that 30 minutes before leaving for the airport. I'll be interested to see how Eva handles this. She's not afraid to cut someone out of her life. 

And that's all I've got for today. I'll go walk Scoutie then stretch out this old lady body with some yoga. Happy Thursday. Later!
