I tracked points this week- I had so much time after all. And I went to the gym twice (when it was actually open). I tried some video workouts from home since I was stuck here for so long. The workouts here were fine, but they were definitely no substitute for the classes and equipment at the gym. As I said, I tracked all my points, but my food was limited, and I definitely ate some food that's not so good for you. I suppose it's what you're stuck doing when the grocery stores get raided, restaurants are closed, and your options become very, very limited. Also, the temptation to snack when you're stuck inside all day is huge. Finding other things to do is key.
In case you missed it, we've had a lot of snow and ice here this past week. I only had work one day this week. And it was a catch-up day: Here's what you're doing, here's homework for the weekend, and should we be out anymore, I will be posting more work for you. I know the kids weren't thrilled about it, but we're losing so much class time, and I'm sure their parents were glad they had something to do other than watch TV/play video games.
Speaking of all this free time spent primarily in my apartment, I was productive with it. My apartment is clean, all my laundry is done, and every single assignment my students have turned into me has been graded and recorded. Of course, that was the case before the one day back to work. So, the past three days, I have not had anything to grade, and I have had very little to prep for the rest of the quarter. I have been cooking. I made a really yummy and healthy meal tonight in fact. And I have watched more Redbox movies than I care to admit.
That's about it, this week has been fairly low key since I was not been willing to brave the streets when the roads were bad. So, let's hope this weather is behind us. Cabin fever is real.
