Today was Monika's last first game of the season. It was very cold with slight snow falling. After a pretty exciting Friday, I ran home to pick up Balt, stopped by Joe's to get the lens we call the "long dog" (with super telephoto). We also have one called the "big dog" (telephoto with wider aperature). I made sure to take tons of photos for Monika so she could work on the yearbook. I walked Balt first, then took photos, walked him again during half time and then took more photos. By the last 15 minutes of the game I went to the car to warm up and wait. It was just too painful. Even though I'm warm at home typing this now, my legs still feel wind burned from the cold. I've created a facebook photo album with lots of photos for the team you can check out.
The most exciting part of today was having lunch with Melissa and Josh. Melissa was in to visit with the student teachers and then bought lunch for us and stayed a while to visit. We enjoyed great conversation and food. It was soo much fun having her in again. While we were eating I tossed my phone at a student and asked her to get a few pics. They are funny to see all of our expressions. We three are quite an animated trio.
I have to report that last night was my first full night of sleep in quite a while. My fitbit noted that I only had a couple of minutes of restlessness and no wakings. I'm hoping this is the beginning of back to normal sleeping patterns. I have always been very blessed to be a heavy sleeper. I don't know how people survive with insomnia. Now I'm working on calorie counting. I've figured out where some of my heavy numbers are coming from which I kind of knew already but I'm now taking note. I purchased some rice cracker snacks from Costco that are crazy dense with calories, worse than nuts; 1/4 cup=200 calories. A couple of handfuls can end up using up more than a meal's worth of calories for the day. Of course the bag is huge and Monika doesn't like them. I'm hoping I can talk my husband into taking them with him to Rochester.
