TGIF--no, REALLY

I am so happy this week is over and I can go relax and recuperate over the weekend. My sore muscles are a little less sore today, but still hurting. I really can't believe how slow the recovery has been! I have a massage planned for today , so maybe I can work some of the kinks out.

At least the scale dropped from 157 to 156 today. I'm still not thrilled with that number, though. I fear I may have gained some actual fat along with that water.

Speaking of water, I have another one of my student's poems for you today. It's lovely.

Like the creek

Flowing down the land crystal clear with flourishing wildlife all about

                                Untainted

Like the mighty Mississip’

Wide and filling, sliding, riding the walls with brown turning waters

                                Uninhibited

Like the Port Huron Rapids

Rushing, crash, the waves, flash the white with misty air all around

                                Uncontrolled

Like the Great Lakes

Big beautiful blue, serene, clean, just a dream

                                Unchanged

beautiful

Thanks for sharing the poems with us.

Sorry I haven't been around--I have been dealing with a lot of work-related stuff that is not only unrelated to weight but I probably shouldn't talk about where someone might find it . . . I may just take a break from the blog for a while, though I need to read and comment to my friends for sure.

I'm sending Friday vibes from CA, and hoping you will have a relaxing weekend.  Sorry we won't be seeing you in June, but the new vacation plan sounds wonderful!  I'm trying to nail down some travel plans for summer and fall, since DH and I never did take a honeymoon and there are weddings in Vancouver in August and September . . .

Hugs,
Sara

Massage....

The massage sounds wonderful.  I hope it can work out some of the soreness.  Where do you go, by the way?

Thanks for sharing those poems.  Your students seem amazing.  Even with all the hardships. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Yes, a lovely poem!

Just wanted to wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Hope your muscles feel better soon! Sounds like a hot tub is in order!

Do you have any idea what to do with Turnips???? Just wondering since you are always so creative with veggies. Could I boil and mash them like potatoes? Am I even supposed to have them? There is a thought!

Take care and congrats on the 1 lb drop. Its a small victory, but worth celebrating nonetheless!

Hope

your massage works and that you get to feel better faster.

I think you have done a wonderful job with the kids in getting them to come up with such inspiring poetry.  It is a world that not many children get introduced to in such a manner as to come up with such insightful literature. Have a nice weekend.

Enjoy your massage.

That sounds really good right now. :) 

These poems you're sharing are wonderful, they must have a really great teacher. :) 

Enjoy your weekend.

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday evening!

I hope you enjoyed the heck out of your massage!  Your vacation plans sound great - and definitely well earned!  While your term has not been without it's stresses, I'm sure the pride you are taking in their work is making it all seem worthwhile.  Enjoy the unique rewards of your job!

HOPE THAT YOU HAD WONDERFUL WEEKEND
