Wednesday, April 29

4:50 a.m. - Yesterday featured an appointment with Dr. Hussain at ORA - more x-rays, and he gave me my pre-op instructions as well as post-op instructions.  So far, all systems are go.  Then it was back to school to finish up some items there, and it wasn't a bad afternoon except that I learned that our health aide is leaving, which isn't great.  It will be tough to find a replacement.  After school, we drove Kollyns to her house in Orion, and we didn't get back until about 7 p.m., so it was a quick supper and off to bed after watching some hockey playoff action.

Today is another day...I think Kona Ice is going to be at school, so that will be something to endure.  Just keep swimming.

Tuesday, April 28

4:55 a.m. - Yesterday was a bit of a battle.  The 504 plan meeting I needed to host was not very good, but I expected that.  I've never had training doing it, and I don't have much experience running a meeting.  So I muddled my way through it and got OT and school psychologist to conduct some assessments to provide more information and assistance, which is what I really wanted anyway.  When I got home, I was tired...had supper and fell to sleep on the couch.  I was worried I wouldn't be able to go to sleep when I eventually got to bed, but I slept then too.

On to today.  I have an appointment at ORA in Silvis with Dr. Hussain.  I hope to get through the rest of the day rather quietly.

Monday, April 27

 4:51 a.m. - Yesterday was busy....today is going to be wet and possibly stormy.   I guess it's good that the yard mowing job got finished.  Part of that experience was trying to mow some of the swamp.  I wasn't able to get to all of it, but I was able to get to a bunch of it.  It was hard on the mower, and it took a long time.  I also got the camper next to the house without killing another one of Bob's fence poles.  After all of that, I waited for a WalMart delivery and then went to my mom and dad's to do some work there.  They needed some help getting gravel out of the edge of their yard as well as tilling up the garden.  Once again, the old tiller lasted another year!  When I got home, we watched some television and headed to bed.  

Today I have 504 meeting that I really don't know how to execute.  I'll figure it out, though.  I'll also be paying attention to the weather.  I'm not sure what I'll be doing tonight.  No Sophie here this morning, so only Bella to take care of.  I would like a quiet week if possible.
