Apple muncher's number crunching

I spoke too soon - I was awake a lot in the night, with dd's coughing and nose-blowing. Between the two activities, it seemed pretty constant. However, she is fairly perky this morning, tho I feel rather tired!


We're fed, watered and dressed, and off to kids klub soon, but I'm on with a leader I like, so it should still be tiring, but fine.


As yet, I do not feel like doing a big workout, so may just do some swings or squats...

KK wiped me out. Spent the afternoon watching Independence Day 2, Charlies Angels full throttle, tennis and the Giro.


Only marked 6 items. Whoops.


Have eaten loads of veg and good stuff. Plus a packet of gf choc digestives and a mini magnum-style ice cream and chocolate and some haribo. Double whoops.


Dd has been very emotional today - which drains me sooo much. I need her to get a good night's sleep...


Off to do some press ups.

We all slept better and I was woken up by my alarm, which was good, and I was raring to go.

Marked quite a lot. Not as many as I'd originally wanted to, but then I realisd that I'd done about 10% - albeit easier ones - so not too shabby.

Dd and I had to go to town to get my specs nose pad replaced. We found her a new pencil case in whsmiff's clearance baskets, got us both some seeds from wilk0, and came home. It wasn't v busy and the sun was shining, so we enjoyed out little jaunt.

We swam after lunch. I had to get out first as I got cold, despite swimming up and down and doing underwater shenanigans. (Ain't gonna do another underwater forward roll without holding my nose...) I am now all worn out, as if I'd done much more than I did. And my ears and throat all hurt.



Dh is out working tomorrow and we have dd's swim lesson at 4, so I'm really really hoping to mark looooooaaads. We'll see...

Now I remember! It's great that she is looking forward to it.

Hope everyone feels better soon.

Oh my.

Just written and posted the NST June 2019 challenge. Just Unleash Ninja Energy!

June is looking very full. Very full indeedy.


However, we still have 3 days left in May before the mayhem (or should that be junedem?! :rotfl:) so I shall, nay I will, enjoy them . And the more marking I can get done, the better. Then all the sch prep stuff that I'm putting off can be done after the break, as I have a week of 'enrichment', so no classes, and no dd or dh around when I'm not at work. Therefore, my cunning plan is to postpone tasks and trust I'll have time to do them later? Hmmm. Not the most brilliant or tactical of plans...


More swimming today as dd had her lesson. I did 34 lengths and managed to keep warm. Dd has agreed - oh-so-generously - not to swim tomorrow. Phew. Instead we'll pop round some ch shops .

A minor marking day today. I have now completed all of that tier and had no motivation to shift up a gear. My brain has enjoyed the time off.


And my body has enjoyed the day off from swimming. I did ZCUT kettlebell #1 with my 8k kb - no sense in pushing it on a day where I just felt feeble. It took me 14m50.


Our builder friend has been round to look at the dismal guttering, so there is hope that that might be mended soonish. Then we can tackle the damp on the inside walls.


Dd and I took 2 bags to the Sally Army and went round about 10 charity shops. We were -or rather I was - tempted by various bits and bobs, but we only came out with some books bought by dd, and a Dennis the Menace tee shirt for dd, a candle holder with her name on it for mum, and lightweight walking boots for dd (bought with credit). I parted with just £3.24 hard cash.


I have enjoyed a day of doing so very little. Tomorrow seems to involve mainly marking, the library, marking, aldee and sainz, marking, swimming, marking...

Yay to downtime and low spend days :j

We swam today. No library or food shopping as we were pooped. It was lovely to have the whole width of the pool to use - normally there are 2 or 3 lanes set up for lessons.

Some marking done. Not a huge amount, but a start. I want to really crack on with it over the next 3 days... I need to plan next week -from Monday - in great detail. I have a sheet ready to fill in, in my purple folder of perfect organisation :rotfl:.

Tomorrow we shall swim - dd has decreed it. And a visit to the library is now needed as she has read all 15 books she took out last Sat.

Up at 5.30 for some reason... Pesky daylight...

apple_muncher

Got me marking done.

Swam with dd. Although we're smug and proud of ourselves for having been 4 times this week, we're both also glad to have a break until Tuesday.

Returned library books and got out a load more. It shuts tomorrow for 9 weeks for a massive refurb, tho we can still return books elsewhere in the borough.

Spent enough at sainz to use the £6 off voucher, but won't need to shop there for a while as dd is thoroughly stocked up on gf/df stuff.

Also spent in aldee -more than usual, I thought, but several 'expensive' items were bought.


I have done a rough hour-by-hour plan for the next 8 days and I don't think I can get everything done... Hmmmm.... If it was only my marking or my school work, then I'd be fine, but my self-imposed deadline for the marking and the fixed deadlines for the different pieces of school work are just v tight. Then I start the next lot of marking...


More hmmmms. Tomorrow I'll stick to the plan: headspace; mark; workout; mark; lunch; dd to dance + I do school marking; mark.... And tomorrow evening I'll have another ponder, as the more marking I get done this weekend, the more slack there'll be in the week.
