The sweet taste of victory...

     I made over my goal of 10,500 steps last week. I have proven that, for the time being, a day or two with more steps means a day or two with less steps. It feels good to strike a balance! This week, I'm aiming for 11,500 steps. I've got my final doctors appointment with the specialist on Friday and am breaking the trip into segments since it's such a long drive (everyone told me to take it easy, so I'm listening. Hear that mom?).
     I've also decided to apply for my substitute teaching license. I'm still not sure how I feel about going back to school. I figure that it affords me the ability to work a couple days a week until I'm feeling better. Also, it gives me the chance to work with the kids again without lesson planning and grading and everything else attached to a full time position.
     I'm also thinking about filling out a few volunteer applications around Hays. It would be nice to get out of the house and be involved in the community. I'm kind of out here in the middle of nowhere as far as my friends go. The closest lives in Hoisington, the next in Salina, and yet others in JC and Topeka. I love my husband, but sometimes it's nice to have a change of scenery. 
     Well, I think I might go take a cold shower (a hot flash is upon me), and lay out in front of the air conditioner. I've got big plans for tomorrow - those Pokemon don't stand a chance.
