The View From Kalamazoo
MFA, etc.
So I made it through the meeting with the school. They are trying to do right by Emma, even to the extent of bending rules here and there to get her more/more appropriate hlep with her reading LDs, and that’s a Good Thing. Still it’s hard to hear someone list all the things that’s wrong with your kid, even if I, in effect, already knew (and I mean KNEW) that things were Not Right with the divine Miss Em.
In other news: I actually made it back to the gym this morning – hey, it’s only been *cough* 2 months *cough*. I was dreading the scale (oh, how I “enjoyed” the holidays, including empty alcohol calories and all!) and how atrophied my noodles muscles had become. I was actually down in weight (can I hear a Hot Damn!??) and I managed to keep the same weights I was lifting last time I was in, just dropped my reps. I hurt, but it wasn’t as bad as I had feared. So I’m down 35 lbs since early this summer – not as glorious as I had hoped (but then, clearly my dedication has lagged considerably), but not too bad. Todays weight: 260 lbs.
