Greetings and Salutations

Today
Mood:  down
After school I walked to Best Buy and got my phone switched. Called and got it activated as well. Other then that the night was okay, until I was eating supper. While eating supper I bit in to my food and felt a tooth break. It is the same tooth that I was having problems with during the summer. I lost about 1/3 of the tooth. I am going to have to call and set up an appointment now to get the tooth removed. I do not know how I am going to be able to pay for it, but I will have to do this. Until then I will have to be careful while eating and other things. That is it for now. I will write More tomorrow.

Yesterday
Mood:  a-ok
Yesterday was interesting. After I got home from work (not much happened there) I took my dresser and loaded it up on top of my car and took it to the Salvation Army. After that I went to the bowling alley and picked up my money. I won about $29 with my team and $56 from bracket money. All in all a nice deal. After I got done there I went over to Best Buy and bought a new phone. A nice improvement with a camera attachment. After I got home and got the phone activated I got to looking through the phone and I found out that the phone was used. There were 81 contacts on the phone and 2 photos, including one in which the girl in the picture is pulling up her shirt to expose her bra. Not what I expected to find on a new phone. So, today after work I will be taking the phone back and talking with them about it.

Yesterday
Mood:  don't ask
Yesterday was rough, again. First off I worked at school. That went okay, although I had a couple of students that were giving me trouble again. The day actually did go well. After school I quickly ran to the post office to pick up the last of the packages that my parents sent me. Now I HAVE to move things around so that I have room to put everything. I will be doing that today. I then went to work at Sylvan. That was a struggle. The kids that I have been working with are off their meds right now. Much fun. By the end of the night I was exhausted and just a little frustrated. After work I had to run to the store to pick up some items for school today. By the time I got home and got to bed I was just feeling like I had no energy left at all. Well, that is it for now. I will try and write more tonight after I get home.

Just a note
Mood:  a-ok
Let see, today. Not much happened. I went to work at the school. It was an okay day. Nothing major happened. After that I went to the post office to pick up a couple boxes that were sent to me. Other than that not much happened. I am thinking of going to bed early tonight and getting some sleep. I may try to get the dresser out of my apartment on Thursday, putting it on top of my car and driving it down to the Salvation Army store before I go to the bowling alley to pick up my prize money. Then Friday after I get home I would remove the books from my bookshelves and move the bookshelves to their new spot. A little cleaning up and I can move the couch back a little, maybe moving the computer a bit as well. Not certain what else I am going to be doing to the apartment right now, but I will just do what I think looks and feels good. Maybe after I get things taken care of I might invite some people over to look at the place.

Today
Mood:  a-ok
Tired. Very tired. That should describe me and my day quite well. I am tired at this moment. It has been a long day. School was ok, though there was an incident that was handled and controlled quickly. After work I went to Sylvan and the work there was exhausting. I had some students that were not on meds and so I had to stay on top of them the entire time. Wore me out. So, I am heading to bed shortly and am looking forward to sleeping all night.

I think this is the day that I was invited to go to Fort Myers for a party of some kind. I am not going to go to it. Although I worked with the person and have done a couple things with her, I do not really feel like her and I are friends, just coworkers. So, I will stay here and maybe do some things.

Phone Problems
Mood:  a-ok
My cell phone is sick. The front face cover has a LCD display that is now broken. I have no clue how it happened either. As the phone is no longer under warranty I will have to buy a new one. That isn't really a bad thing. I would like to get a phone that has a camera phone on it. I am not sure when I will be able to get this new phone. Maybe at the end of the month when I get paid, maybe a little sooner. Just depends on money. Will write more when I get the new phone.

A quick report
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: party931.com dance radio
Yesterday was a nice day. First I was up early to go to work at Sylvan. After I got home I took a four hour nap. After I woke up I got a call inviting me to go see a fellow teacher perform with his band. There were three bands and his was the third band to perform. All the bands were of the hard rock types, though each of them had a different sound than the others. None of them were that bad. I think that I enjoyed the second band the best, but I did like the band that I was there to see. Got home about 1:30 and went to bed. I was really tired. I may go take a quick nap in a bit, though I do want to watch the race and it starts soon.

Some thoughts
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: party931.com dance radio
So, I was doing a little bit of thinking about things. There are things that I am working on. Yes, it is slow going on most of them, but I do feel like I am making some progress on some things. The biggest problem I have thought about recently is that there are some issues that I would like to work out, but that it is impossible. There are some things about me that I can not fix, can not make better, can not do a thing about. These are the things that seem to really get me down. I am going to have to learn to just accept those things and learn to live with them they way they are, even though I would rather a miracle happen to fix them. This will take a lot longer to work out than the other things that I am working on. Maybe some day I will be able to feel better about these things, but today doesn't seem to be that day.

Catching up again
Mood:  a-ok
Okay, so it is Friday morning, but I am going to try and write about Wednesday and Thursday.

Wednesday was the first day of school with students. The day went pretty well. The only real snags had to do with lunch. Our first lunch went way over, mainly because it was mostly students new to our school and out way of doing things. Other than that it was a good day. Most of my classes were only about half full, which is about normal on the first day of school. After working at the school I went to work at Sylvan, which was pretty good.

Thursday was a nice day, although by the end of the day I was exhausted. I had more students in all my classes, which was good. I got through most of the rules and procedures for the classes. The day went by pretty quickly and I got a lot of things done. After work I went bowling, which started out good and just went downhill. I bowled a 174, a 148, and a 121 ( I am not 100% of that last score). This was the last night for the summer league. We have a meeting nest Thursday night where we will get awards and prize money. The following Thursday after that will be the meeting for the fall league, which I plan on joining, with the actual bowling starting the week after that. I am still not certain which team I will be bowling with.

Lets see, other things. I have made it through six days without eating meat. Not really that hard right now. I have other things that I can eat and I am just eating salads at school. I don't know how much healthier I am feeling, but I do feel like I am doing something good. It is really working out so far. I plan on finding a scale and seeing how much I weigh this weekend. I can use a scale here at school, but it does not show an accurate weight. I can stop by the fitness club that is next door to Sylvan and get my weight there. Other then that things are going well. I am tried more during the day, but that is because I am doing more during the day. I am also not sleeping that well during the night. I am hopeful that I will be able to get to bed earlier at night the next couple days, which will help me get some extra rest. Well, that is it for now. I will write more later tonight, if I remember.
