I wish my brain was working better.  I play speed chess online to check my cognitive function everyday and my brain isn't working well.  Sometimes it's blood sugar and sometimes brain chemistry; I can't concentrate and I am being emotional, so probably not blood sugar.  Going to work with my  hands more for a few days and see if it helps.  Have been following diet and walking my  dog around the lake every day.  Hard on my  bad foot but very good for the dog-been going with Kensie and she  jogs while I walk.  Never been fond of smaller breeds but glad I  had the  wisdom to get a puppy small enough  that I could walk without fear of being knocked off my feet from my back damage:)  Getting certified to teach  theater and getting ready  to teach English-I actually know no grammar rules, I just write by ear and always have.  Will be hard on me not to get the higher level kids like I did in science and history--will have to go all freedom writers on their asses.  Made soup last night, chicken with  mushroom and rice.  It has been rainy  and cooler this week-very  nice change from 105 degree scorching.
