What day is it?

I couldn't wait for the first day of school and now I am lonely. It was inevitable and to counteract the loneliness, I'll probably get massive amounts of stuff done. I've had a to do list waiting for school to start. If I finish it early, maybe I can do something I want to do, like read.

I believe my blog will be back in full swing now. I'm enrolled in one class this fall and I do have a temp job that will need my attention for two days next week, but unless I get called to sub at a school this early in the semester, I should be able to finish some major projects and share them with the world. I will call the insurance company FINALLY and make the comparison between the cost of keeping them and the cost of canceling them. Then I will make a reusable shopping bag out of saved plastic bags. I'll take a video of the bag-making-process and publish it here. It should be fun. After that I'll start working on a rag-rug and hopefully record that process in some way.

Today was my second day back to the gym after two long weeks of being sick. I probably could have gone before the two weeks were up, but rest was of the utmost importance, so I lounged around and watched movies with the kids. And it was fun! Now of course, I'm not where I was, running wise, so I'm slowly building my stamina back up. It's so interesting when you start at the beginning again with out having to. I mean, I went way back to running and walking intermittently. It feels great and is so easy that I have to increase my speed to feel challenged. Before now, I couldn't figure out how I was going to increase my speed once I had achieved my goal of running for 20 minutes. Now, I know. Start at the beginning and increase the speed from there. Isn't it crazy how things that seem bad can actually end up being good after all? Once again, I feel fantastic.

I can't take credit for the drawing. I found it in Google Images. Pretty awesome though, don't you think?
