School is out. Only a few things have changed since last time, but all for the good. It's all jumbled together right now, so I'm not going to divide it up into sections.
My final went mostly smoothly, and I have about 1/4 of them graded. I spent the morning planning meals for this next week and then went shopping. This afternoon I had to go do all the last minute things at the old house today and turn in the keys, but we are officially only living in ONE place now, which is amazing. I'm going to get another large chunk done over the course of tomorrow (I can only grade 3-5 at a time before I run out of juice) while also enjoying some time with friends and doing some awesome cooking. Since I did not manage to get to the grocery store for so long, I spent much more during this trip than usual, but we have food to last us quite some time. I'm particularly excited about tomorrow's menu of a frittata of beans, mushrooms, artichokes, and onion with wilted greens on the side for lunch and country style pork ribs with corn on the cob and pan-grilled zucchini. For dessert I will be making banana ice cream (freeze bananas. Blend. Eat.) with fresh strawberries and blackberries.
My feet are back in ship shape, and I went to the gym on Friday night, which felt awesome. In just two weeks I'm already able to tell how I've lost endurance, but I'm doing well on strength. I haven't lost any weight these last two weeks, but I also haven't gained any, so I'm satisfied. Now to start getting those numbers WAY down. I'm thinking about buying groceries more frequently than once per week and walking/biking to the market instead of driving and getting a giant load every week. It will require more planning and time, but it's exercise built in to healthy eating.
Now that I don't need to dress for school every day, there will be a significantly different wardrobe going on. If I have to leave the house, jeans and a polo. If I don't have to leave the house, t-shirt with pants optional. Gonna be a good summer.
