Good New trainer. I hired a new coach for power lifting. She's a record holding pro, and so far a really great coach. Very organized and responsive. It's been a little discouraging to make so many adjustments to my form that I thought was OK. Plus learning new things like low bar on squats. It's hard to get it all right. What's been really nice is the deload. Last week and this week (6/16-6/27) have been a much lighter load. Lower volume and lower RPE, especially on accessories. It's been SO nice to go easier. She also told me that I'm built for power lifting, so that's cool.  TESOL. I have finished my TESOL course work for work and have started planning curriculum for our level 2 ESL classes we provide at work. I'm excited to get back in the classroom even though this is slightly outside my experience and wheelhouse.  Pool days. We've had some cooler weather in the last little bit, and I'm not much of a pool person if it's below 85, so we...

6/1 I went on a walk and did yoga. We went to the Harry Potter Exhibition with my manager, her husband, and their daughter. It was super fun. Then we got lunch all together at Slackwater, which never disappoints. After we got home I went to the condo to clean. I finished the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen and also the oven. Matthew switched me, and got blinds installed and did some other things around the condo. I published my blogs for May and watched Lost.  Condo oven: sparkling Squash and pumpkins that are now destroyed The Great Hall Cupboard under the stairs A battle 6/2 I went to the gym for squats. Work was busy as I had a new hire orientation with just ONE person. Thankfully it wasn't too awkward. I picked up AJ, and we went to Walmart. It was a pretty normal evening at home. I did Face Time with both parents that evening. We watched Lost. 6/3 I got up to go on a walk; it was chilly! Work was super quiet. I finally decided and moved forward on an ESL assignment I had. ...

5/1 I went to the gym for squats and hit a PR at 170lb. I started exploring oregano for my sinus issue. Matthew started taking things over to the new house. I stopped by the storage unit. I continued packing the house and did bath and bed time.  5/2 I went on a walk. I took some things to the new house after work in five or six trips while AJ was at daycare. Matthew picked up pizza. I packed all evening and did bath and bed time.  5/3 was moving day, so I did not go to the gym. I took my bed apart. The U-Haul place we used didn't give us the dolly that I ordered, which was frustrating. Thankfully, we had a lot of unexpected help with the loading of the U-Haul (but they vanished for unloading, sadly). We realized in the heat of the day that the new house didn't have A/C, AND the swamp cooler was broken. There are faulty and loose electrical outlets throughout the house. The power for the clothes dryer was a three prong instead of four, so Matthew had to play electrician and fig...
