Fieldwork: Day 4

Wow, got up at 5 am today - and it wasn't hard. I've been feeling really happy this past week too - I'll have to be careful when the downswing comes so I don't let myself drop this progress.



AM weight 219 (a little discouraging, I have been doing better than this, this past month - but I've notice that I pick up a couple pounds when my knee is swollen,and it really hurts this morning)

Treadmill - 30 minutes (though not as fast because of the knee pain)

Significant chore - I need to get the sound on my computer at school hooked up to the speaker system. I have the cabling, just need to run it)

Exploration Opportunities: I'm planning on taking my camera with me to recess duty.

Fieldwork report: Today could be chalked up as one of those bad days. Car battery died, knee inflammed, and while the sound is now connected from computer to speakers - the web page we use refuses to show the video feed I need.
But I had it in my mind to walk home today anyway, so was mentally prepared for it (even though it further agravated my knee). I have a good supply of Advil, which works great for me. and I am hoping for the best on the video thing.
As I walked home I found a nearly round rock to add to my collection, and I had fun taking pictures of nature on the way. I tried taking pictures at recess, but the kids were quickly distracted and wanted to pose for me. I was hoping for more "candid" kind of stuff. In retrospect, I may have chosen to encourage posing just for the fun of it.
I didn't get to go to the store to buy bubbles, so I'll have to do that when the car situation is cleared up.
The battery is plugged into a charger tonight, so hopefully I'll have a vehicle tomorrow.
I'm suppose to burn a page in my journal tonight - good timing, I'm in the mood to destroy something!
