Paradise Lost!

I started Paradise Lost.  I couldn't sleep & I have been stitching in the middle of the night.  So I also had to frog some of what I have stitched. 

I think I am stressing which is why I am not sleeping. 

This week is Catholic's Schools Week.  I am dreading it.  Activities & time wasting galore.  It is much calmer this year than in years' past, but still lots of lost time that will never be made up.  I lose all my plan time on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday.  Not happy about that.  Means more things I have to complete on my "free" time. 

Hannah has to be at church tomorrow by 7:30 AM to help with the youth group breakfast.  She has to be at the 12:30 Mass since she is reading the introduction.  I have to be at the 8:00 AM Mass with my fifth graders since we are responsible for that Mass & neither of my partner teachers can make it.  I am just going to hang at school in between & work in my room.  I am hoping to get a lot done.  My TA is on a mission to clean out all my cabinets & is working her way towards my desk.  I think I need to hire her for the basement.

Today I grocery shopped, did laundry & cleaned.  I stitched a little too. 

I have an orthopedic appointment Wednesday.  I am hoping to get my PT scrip renewed.  If I do, this means I can start running again.  I am slowly coming to accept that I may not be running the Lincoln Half this year.  My achilles is still tight in both legs & the flexibility is not coming back as fast as I hoped.  I know from what I have read that I am lucky my achilles were not detached to correct the problem, I guess I am just impatient and want quicker results.  The pain is definitely better than before the surgeries. 

I think I am going to go and soak in the tub before I do my stretches.  The jets really seem to help loosen the tendons & reduce the swelling.  Then some more stitching till bedtime.
