I was invited to be at a focus group for Teacher Evaluations both today and tomorrow. At the same time, I was required to be at a meeting to Kickoff Test Writing today. There was no way to tell the... Continue reading

There is one in the car, but guess who packed everything but a meter….. this is why extra supplies are stashed in strategic places. I have a meter and emergency sugar. Continue reading

It has dropped a bit with the new pump, but seems to have leveled out to 7.9 Would like to get it back into the 6s but can't seem to do that. Continue reading

I've been having all my students do this the last week and a half we've been at school and it's gone pretty well. I took all the movies I made down – which sounds really weird when you say it... Continue reading

We went to another new place to do agility – Teacup again – but this time, indoors and climate controlled in Goldsby, Oklahoma, just south of Oklahoma City and Norman. It was easier on the beagle noses – fewer distractions and they do better in A/C, even though we train in heat and it doesn't seem to bother them. Macy tried really hard, but made a few small mistakes each run. Unfortunately you have to be almost perfect in Superior. I think we left Dulce's brain back at home – but she had off night at class too, so who... Continue reading

So we've got something this year called the "Flexible Year". Seniors are here for part of the day, but not in classes. The kids that met the requirements were released last Thursday. We have kids who failed classes or missed... Continue reading

Not reading the rules is not always a good idea, but thanks to a good trial secretary, I was taken care of and Macy ended up with a Q after all. Here's the deal – Macy is considered a veteran in Teacup now, which allows her to compete at a lower jump height (good for me, since running two dogs in the same class is hard), and gives her extra time. However, it doesn't affect her titles. So I was entering her in a trial next weekend and a sharp eyed trial secretary caught the fact she was a veteran.... Continue reading

Dulce just finished her Teacup Game 2 title, making her: Tesoros Sweet Tempation TG2 -- she also has had some Qs in AKC (Correction – Dulce still needs a Q for TBAD) We got up early and drove to McGregor Texas, which is south of Waco. Object Familiarization was a good thing, as Dulce did her famous dash out of the ring when I took off her leash. Everyone else panicked, but I calmly called her, picked up some cookies on the way and called her to the truck and her crate (she'd made it outside the building and was... Continue reading

Come to find out, one of the people on our ADA committee has a daughter at the school next door – literally. The daughter will be attending our high school next year, and is a 9th grader at our middle... Continue reading

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 got a sinus infection – and didn’t go to the doctor because I thought it was a bad cold My old doctor sucked so bad New doctor is terrific but it took two weeks, antibiotics, Singular, Nasonex and two... 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

Just got stuff to treat the symptoms since the antibiotics seems to be killing the infection.... Sick of being sick. Dulce is a hit at the doctors office. Sent from my Windows Phone Continue reading
