Thursday, July 9

5:08 a.m. - Today I'm headed to Bloomington for the weekend.  There is an officials conference, and Shawn is getting recognized as track official of the year.  I'm looking forward to heading out, but I'm worried about the left slide and it's slide wiper.  I'm afraid it's going to fail, which means I'll have to figure something out to replace it.  I guess we'll see.

Yesterday was a decent day.  I mowed the yard in the morning and then put in some office hours after that.  The work day culminated with an appointment with rep at Edwards Creative.  It was fine, but I didn't need a whole tour of the facility as part of the sales pitch.  On the way home, I stopped by mom and dad's for a visit. Then at home I watched some television and started reading a new book.  I've been interested in learning about Andrew Johnson, as he took over after Lincoln was assassinated.  

Let's see how today goes!

Wednesday, July 8

6:26 a.m. - Yesterday I started out the day heading to Tipton, and that little adventure worked out well.  I was a little early, so I stopped and got a breakfast sandwich in a cafe in Tipton.  Then I went to the Cedar County Historical Society and found out they have a prairie village too.  It was much bigger than I imagined.  On the way back I stopped at a donut shop and had a "crescent", which is a feature donut of the Tipton Bakery.  Then it was back to the office for a bit and then back to the old board room for a bit to do some research work.  After getting home I played with Kollyns for a bit, and then the three of us went to one of Darrin's games.  After that, the Harrisons treated us to supper, which I didn't need, at a really good Mexican restaurant in Coal Valley.  I had already had a salad, and I had had that sandwich and a donut earlier in the day, so today was another day of not losing weight.  

Today I need to get a lot of stuff done.  Tomorrow I set out for Bloomington with the camper, so today is a prep day.  Plus, now I have an appointment with Edwards Ideas in Milan regarding the history display - that's at  4 p.m.  So I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to accomplish all of this.

Tuesday, July 7

6:05 a.m. - Yesterday's highlight was driving to Matherville to visit with Laura Hozak and her husband.  She had a lot of information she wanted to share and donate about The Reynolds Press as well as artifacts from Reynolds High School.  It was a lot of fun, and there are a bunch of items to digest and determine how to use.  After that, I went back to IC Elementary and checked on Mrs. Olson and the work she was doing with her Pre-K classroom.  I've got a feeling Pre-K is going to occupy a lot of my time this coming school year.  I need to finish off some accounting stuff from the 25-26 school year and then drop off the information to the business office at the district office.  Then it was back home for a bit before going to Matherville and watching softball.  And at the end of the night, USA lost to Belgium in the World Cup.  Now I'll have to pick another team to route for. 

Today I'm going to Tipton to finally drop off a couple artifacts that belong with their historical society.  Then it's back to the office.  Then I'm not sure what will be featured for the day.
