Time is Running Out

Yup, pretty soon the summer camp will be upon me as well as the course I'm teaching for ISU.   It's been nice having some downtime here and there.   I find it difficult to not work at times but at the same token I feel like I could have been more productive in the past weeks.   I have several tasks I need to do around the apartment and I keep dragging my feet.  I'm rather bummed that DMACC didn't pan out for me but I guess that's one evening I don't have to race back to Ankeny to teach.    It wasn't always pleasant to be hot and sweaty, race home, and get to campus on time in a presentable condition to teach.  

I'm not as confident about my staff for the summer program this year.   I would really like another life guard on staff but no one has applied for a month but I'm going to keep the job position open throughput the summer to see if someone comes out of the woodwork.    I've learned a lot in the last five years so that will help me structure the orientation I'm holding on Monday for all staff.   I've also decided to have a meeting for group leaders alone as well as a meeting for aquatic staff alone.   I'm also doing some different things this summer with the integration of more health, weekly awards for the children, and some Jump Rope for Heart activities.  

We've been cruising through Netflix at a better pace in the past months.   We watched "Her" today, which was interesting to say the least.   I hated the ending.   Not entirely sure why it got so much praise.    Next is "The Book Thief".   I have 48 other movies on my list too so that should keep us busy this summer.    I am grateful that renting DVDs has stayed affordable.   I pay $12 a month to have 2 DVDs at one time.

I've had concerns about my energy levels and my doctor has advised that I take Vitamin D in a pretty high dose for the next month and try to get more exposure to sunlight.   I'm taking 5,000 units a day to see if that helps perk me up.   Lord knows I'll need energy next week and through July.

I thought I'd have more excitement to write about but I'm drawing a blank.    But hey, at least I'm blogging regularly again!
