Used my Swivl and my iPod Touch to make it, came out pretty good. Hardest part was figuring out how to get it on the Moodle site. I also have some access information up. Continue reading

I've decided to make it a subscription model – most of the dog training I do is that way – I pay my dog agility instructor by the month to reserve my training slots. I also put an unsubscribe button... Continue reading

It's at http://www.mykweaver.com/diabetesAlert/ I have the online course site up too but no lessons yet. Good opportunity to help the public, review our training and finance some school projects. Sent from my Windows Phone Continue reading

Yep Setting up the Moodle course now. Literally, installing Moodle as I type. Was going to add it to my Staff Development Moodle but decided it best to have it’s own Moodle, with it’s own pages. I’m using the latest... Continue reading

Let’s me reduce the amount of a med by half. I have restless leg syndrome, which apparently disrupts my sleep. It also makes me kick uncontrollable when I am still. Annoying. I’ve been taking Ropinirole HCL 2mg tablets for years,... Continue reading

This weekend was a rough weekend for Dulce and has me questioning her role as an agility dog. First, she did well – stayed in the ring and got a 3rd place on Saturday – that was an issue before,... Continue reading

I almost had class beagle in Excellent Standard. She did some fabulous distance work. After that, we were all exhausted and couldn’t go a full course going in time. It’s been a long time since we’ve done a trial and it showed. Especially poor Dulce as she has to take care of mom AND run agility. She stopped two lows in one day – GOOD GIRL! However, she didn’t run out of the ring. I won’t count that demon completely gone yet, but I am feeling good about it. Q ratio 0/0 but that’s okay Continue reading
It's been awhile but we went back in the ring today. I took a break because Dulce was having problems staying in the ring, Macy is still having health issues and I was busy with the robot kids. I've also been uncomfortable showing since we were suspended. Good news – I know now which people are friends who aren't. I will admit to being surprised by a few. One person told me that I deserved the suspension because I was too loud in the ring. Gee, I didn't know the AKC was using a decibel meter. Don't like my runs,... Continue reading
One of the things that I have been having trouble with is abdomen sites. My tummy desperate needs a rest between the lap band scars, and some allergy issues I'm dealing with. I'm also having trouble with pushing insulin through... Continue reading

Got my bill from Medtronics today, which reflected the payment by BCBS and the amount they gave me for my old pump. Had the bank send them a check today, so we should be all done. <sigh> Let's see, I... Continue reading

Here's what I don't like about typical teacher conferences: Having to make decisions: Especially on which talk I want to go to. Transportation Food CSTA almost solves the problem by putting everything in one hotel, but they do it in... Continue reading

http://www.foundationsofdigitalgames.org/ is my absolute favorite conference and I will admit that the biggest attraction was that it was on a cruise boat. I went for the conference in 2008 and it was the last year on the boat. They just... Continue reading

Haven't used Coinstar in years as they take almost 10% of your money, but now they do gift cards. Amazon.com even! So I just dropped in $30 in coins and now can buy some Kindle books. Even better, was able... Continue reading

This sinus infection really fooled me, because my blood sugar stayed constant. I kept thinking this was a cold. I waited a week to see the doctor, and she prescribed antibiotics but I was still not seeing any relief in... Continue reading

I've been sick for a week and a half, maybe two weeks. I had been putting off going to my primary care doctor, because going to one has always been a pain. Not this time! I called yesterday morning and... Continue reading

I have had some upper respiratory thing for the last week. I was out last Tuesday because I was coughing and sneezing so hard that I was not leaving the restroom for long. Not good when you are a teacher.... Continue reading

While I like my endocrinologist, I find going to his office stressful. Today has been no exception. There is an emergency patient here and they needed to be seen first. All my numbers are going in the right direction or... Continue reading

I will not set foot in another @Autozone store again. I purchased a Duralast Jumpstarter that had trouble charging from the day of purchase and I should have taken it back immediately. I power cycled it this week, like a good battery owner and couldn't get it to recharge. The store wouldn't stand by their product so I left it there and got one from an O'Reilly store.

I have a young man on my Robot Team who isn't a very good student. I'm not sure why, because I haven't had him in the classroom, but I'm concerned right now, because he has been STAAR testing for 3... Continue reading

Not sure why I haven't shared my latest ordeal, maybe because I somehow blamed myself for the mess. Back in August, I started getting emails from Animas that my pump warranty was expiring so I started looking at insulin pumps.... Continue reading
