Tuesday Topics: My Summer bucket list

This week’s Tuesday Topic is: What’s on your Summer bucket list?  You can write about this topic or feel free to post any running related blog post.  Remember to link up with Kim and Zenaida!  Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier!  Remember to come back for later linkers!

Today is my last week of school!  I have plans to go out for drinks with my coworkers.  Time to cross off some drinks from the martini list.  I am still planning to teach Summer School but still do not know the curriculum or when I am supposed to go set up.  🤦🏽‍♀️ 🤦🏽‍♀️ Bitmoji ImageI am planning to enjoy my Summer Break and hopefully check off a few things off this list.

☀️ Declutter and organize.  I did a big one two years ago but need to do it again.  It will make packing so much easier when it is time to move.  Packing up my classroom gave me anxiety and I could not believe how much stuff I had after being in the same school for 13 years.

☀️ Not get sick/Covid.  I got sick a few weeks ago (cold and fever) but not Covid.  I am debating on whether or not to get my 2nd booster shot.  My mother keeps asking when I will take her for her booster shot.

☀️ Take a mini vacation.  I am overdue for it.  I’d rather not fly AA but remember I still have those credits.  What I would also love to do is be a tourist in Chicago.  I want to stay in a hotel downtown and do touristy things.  Have you done that before?

bon voyage

☀️ Continue to use the Peloton bike.  I am way overdue here.  One of my goals this year is to do 300 Peloton rides.  I’ve taken 266 leaving me with 34 more to go.  Doable, right?

☀️ Be consistent with running.  Summer is not my favorite for running but that is when the bulk of training takes place for a Fall race.  I have decided to do the Chicago Lakefront 50/50 on Saturday, October 29.  These past few weeks have been like a roller coaster because I have good days of running and then days when I am too tired to run.  But now just knowing the date makes it official and more exciting!

Topic for next week – What are your Summer fitness goals?  Feel free to write about this or any running related topic.  We hope you’ll link up with us!

Fit Five Friday and June 2022 Ultimate Coffee Date


Wow, hard to believe it is already June!  The month sure does go by fast when you are having fun.  I’m starting off the weekend with a little catch-up over the Ultimate Coffee Date hosted by Coco and Deborah.  So grab a mug of your favorite beverage and let’s chat for a bit!

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I am emotionally and mentally exhausted.  With the last few days of school, packing up my classroom, and my mother being home this week I am very tired.  Taking care of an elderly woman is tiring.  My sister is home with her during the day until I come home.  Who would have thought personalities change as we get older?

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that there is a house that I want to see but am having trouble doing so.  I’ve been eyeing it for a few weeks and finally contacted my agent about it.  I was surprised no one had bought it yet since houses are selling like hot cakes.  Last week he told me that the owners were going on vacation and to reach out to him on Tuesday.  I did.  I told him I could see it Wednesday or Thursday.  No luck.  I am wondering if the owners really want to sell their house.  Why are they making it so difficult?  I believe things happen for a reason so maybe this is a way of saying that this house is no bueno.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that on Wednesday I received my new teaching assignment for the 2022-2023 school year.  There are 4 second grade teachers (2 GE and 2 DL) and we get along and work very well together.  We were split up.  One GE and one DL teacher are going to one school and the other 2 to a different school.  I knew it could happen but still cannot believe it.  It is making me very sad but am trying to stay positive.  I am glad that at least I will be working with someone I’ve worked with for years.

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that a friend of mine reached out to me because she had an extra ticket to see “Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations” on Saturday.  I love musicals.  I haven’t seen her in years and am looking forward to it.  I feel like a kid with a new toy.  I realized it’s been a long time since I’ve been out with friends.  There are 4 of us going and are meeting first for lunch and then go see the musical.  I hope I stay awake.  I usually take a nap after lunch.  

If we were having coffee…
I’d tell you that I didn’t realize I had so much school stuff.  The last time I packed was about 4-5 years ago.  I was moved to my current room 2 years ago but administration packed it all up for me.  When I am done I think I will have about 80 boxes, bags, and containers that will need to be sent to my new school.  That number doesn’t even include some items I will store in my cousin’s garage.  Does that make me a hoarder?
