She visited my workplace on Friday, and everyone was very happy and excited to meet her. I feel very fortunate to work with people who are supportive and excited for us. And also very fortunate for those who keep a calming influence on me when I need it:)
I had a nice surprise when I went to visit my office. A co-worker and friend of mine created an amazingly beautiful solar system on my ceiling with some of the students. It has two very cool effects, one with a black light, and one without lights. My whole room looks like deep space. It is incredible, and I know not only will I appreciate it, but the students will too. Julia (my other half at work) Lee and I talked about how great it will be to use it to calm students down......they can just get "lost in space"! I will see if some pictures can be taken so that I can post them here....
To date I have lost 17 of the 22 pounds I have gained with the pregnancy. I have decided I would like to lose about 26 morel, so tomorrow I am going to start my weight loss efforts. I would like to be at my goal by the end of the summer, which I think I can accomplish in 4 months.
