Thursday, April 30

4:57 a.m. - Yesterday's highlight was Kona Ice day.  I'm not sure the experience was worth it, but the students seemed to enjoy it.  The rest of the day was survivable, and I came home and crashed while Amber went to Tucker's game in Alexis.  Yesterday I was able to get some additional work done on the professional development course I'm taking, and I think I selected something for a course that at least I can apply a little to my principal's position.  

Today I have an eye appointment at Milan Optical in Milan.  I might be there awhile to complete all the tests I need to complete.  Tonight I'm meeting Shawn, Marcus, and Tony for supper at the barbecue place in Reynolds.  It will be nice to catch up with those guys.

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.
