Now that was cold [96/125]

Cold biking today.  Not sure if it's causing an ear ache or what... but ow.

Heavy wind [95/121]

Holy smokes ,that's some crazy wind. Should have that re-thought biking today.
Not sure of you can see the wind sock there, but it is blowing straight east, and I'm at the part where I start biking west.
After a crappy weekend where I didn't feel well, biking probably wasn't the best idea; now throw in the cold and heavy wind...

Dean back at soccer

he was really excited to be back yesterday

Need to slow down and regroup [94/120]

Okay, that depressed me - I've dipped below 80% officially.
Ouch.  Next week I know I can't do 3 days [so that'll make it 96/125]


Anyways... needing to regroup.  Holy smokes.

Teaching... or the absence thereof

Just went for a quick pop into the mall for a mid-afternoon break and I ran into a past student of mine.
Immediately she recognized me, and said hello.  We caught up a bit and I asked her what she was doing etc...

But what really caught me was that she did say that she enjoyed my class and how I made the subject matter relevant and easy to understand.

*sigh*

This is just after I had learned that I wasn't a successful candidate for a teaching position.  It's really sad, to have these anecdotal evidences of how proficient I am in a job, yet cannot fully realize that option.

How to deal with that?  I dunno... it was a real kick when she said before I walked away "at least you're still teaching", and it was hard not to walk back and have that long discussion about teaching and the "profession".

Another sick weekend [90/112]

Didn't I just post about this?  Yeah... I also meant to post mid-week, but that never happened, so it seems like it just happened.

Anyways, yeah - went all week and was pretty ok.  No problems.  Then Friday night I started to have 'sniffles' and then it was a real runny nose.

Mandy, you're awesome, for not killing me - she was quite the trooper and took care of Dean the entire weekend while I just convalesced in bed.  Seriously - I was in bed all weekend, until around Sunday 3pm when she went to work.

Jarron had another photoshoot Sunday night - when these calendars come out I think y'all will be quite impressed.  And you better buy one!!
