This past week was certainly one full of ups and downs; well, two weeks because I missed a Sunday Update.
Last Saturday, I was at an event called Spring Fling that is held each year by the Harrisonburg City Public Schools to help recruit Cub Scouts for a pack we are getting off the ground. I had about 70 interested kids, which is a phenomenal result from the three hour time commitment. We had a great time out there and it was a great motivation boost.
So the week started on a high note, and in all honesty started off pretty well. My ADHD meds are working and I can find myself focusing better. It made class a little better this week, for sure. It has also allowed me to focus on my nutrition so much better. I have been holding to my macros for a couple of full weeks now, which has never happened before. I am still procrastinating on projects like crazy (such as right this moment), but it is definitely better than it ever was. Plus, the lack of caffeine intake hasn't been a problem.
The sciatica is still a thing, but I will keep rehabbing it and maybe see what can be done medically in a week or so. I tried to get back to the gym on Friday, but the pain came back so I will be modifying my workouts accordingly. Though I will say that I have been able to run again, and in fact have done better at running than ever before.
There were some issues I had to deal with that were less than pleasant, which can happen from time to time. But, I also made it to the first round of interviews for a job opportunity that I like the looks of. I often tell people that I got into accounting because of the job security. It was the Great Recession and if you know anything about the workforce you know that accountants often have a fairly easy time finding employment. Well, it worked out for me, but now I think it is time I move on to something else.
The week ended yesterday, though, and it ended in the best way possible. Teaching Cub Scouts to fish.
There is just something about working with Cub Scouts out at our camp that makes you forget all the other stuff. It is a great reminder of the reason we all do what we do as Scouters. Anyway, enough procrastination, off to work on finals.
