It's been a long week

Seriously! It has been a long f-in week! I have been quite the bitch. I feel bad for all people that have had to encounter me this week. My week started off with my bi-weekly fat doctor appointment. I stepped on the scale fully thinking I would lose at least 3 of the last 5 pounds to hit 100 pounds; however, I only lost 1.4. Needless to say, I was bummed at hell! 


This Friday was also "Black Friday" at my work. What that means is that teachers are non-renewed or pink slipped. I knew I was safe from either of these situations, but it doesn't make the day any easier. OK, that's a bold faced lie. The day is much easier knowing that I am "safe" because I am tenured, but I still get really really worried about all my young teacher friends! I was right to worry. One of my good friends was RIF'd (reduction in force), and so was one of my English department members. Two good teachers. Two teachers that do a great job and love working at my school. There were other losses, but these two were the hardest for me. Friday sucked, royally. 


I did get to hang out with my work buddies twice this weekend.WAIT! I got to hang out with them Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday! Man, I hope they are not sick of me! Last night I went over to Bill and Garrett's. They spent all day smoking 4 hams. We ate and drank, and played Cranium. It was really fun. It helped me get out of my funky mood.

Today was another four mile run. I felt great when I headed out my door, but then the wind hit me. IT HIT ME HARD! It was so hard to run! By the time I ran 1.5 miles, I was so tired. I almost threw in the towel because I was so tired. I admit, I had to walk much more than I usually do. I blame the wind. It took me way  longer than it should have. I might have to run another 4 miles this week just to see the time difference. Here is the my running schedule as of now.

I cannot believe that I am starting week six of this program. I seriously cannot that in one week I will be running 5 miles. The Lord will have to be with me that day. I am already excited, yet completely scared out of my ever-loving mind!




Now I am sitting with my good friend Chrissy watching the Oscars. I never had an Oscar party before. I guess it's not a party if only two people are invited, but I like to say a party! Woo-hoo!
