Sunday, April 26

7:50 a.m. -  It's Sunday and a pull out day, and it's likely the last pull-out day of the camper for a few months since knee surgery is a week from tomorrow.  That sucks.  But it is a nice day today, so that's nice.  Amber already left, so it will be lonesome me to clean up and head back home.  That's okay...I'm thinking about possibly making some breakfast and then possibly going on a walk and then getting the camper ready to pull out.

Yesterday was a quiet day.  We had Kollyns for awhile and went to some parks and played.  Then Amber and I went to the casino and lost some money.  And then we went to Cracker Barrel which was a nice adventure, since we don't do that very often.  And then I had a nice fire and burned up all the firewood while I watched our new neighbors pull in and set up their campsites - tents and campfire and an outside movie screen.  And then I came inside and watched some Batman and some Star Trek and headed to bed.  That's a nice campground day.  Oh, and I did a lot of reading...getting pretty close to the end of the New Testament of the King James Bible.

So onto today!  After getting the camper back, I need to work on the yard.  That's the goal, and it seems that the weather is going to cooperate.

Oh, and last night there was an alleged act of violence at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  I'm not buying it.  Amber yelled at me because I expressed my skepticism that a "gunman" ran down a hotel hall through at least five security officers, shot one person, and then was tackled before entering the ball room.  And the security detail in the room removed the Vice-President first and then the President, and President Trump appeared as calm as could be.  And this was just hours after the President ceased talks with Iran, and the Dinner didn't even get started.  And this is after Trump Jesus's poll numbers are plummeting and gas remains over $4.00 a gallon.  Lo behold the victim Trump Jesus...thank goodness he wasn't killed.

Saturday, April 25

7:26 a.m. -  Yesterday was another battle. I had an ROE Principals' Meeting in the morning, and I got back to school around 12:30.  The meeting was informational, and it satisfied my need to have an Administrator's Academy for this year, so now I think I can renew my teaching/administrator certificate.  There wasn't a whole lot to do when I got back to school, so that was good.  We did post for the reading interventionist position we now have at our building, as the TRE position has now been filled by one of the ICE staff members.  Hopefully, our position now at ICE can be filled easily and quickly. 

After school, I stopped at the house and then headed to the campground.  It was a beautiful night to have a fire, so that was nice.  And then I watched a little LAFF on MeTV before falling to sleep and eventually going to bed.  So now we are at the campground, and the next step is to make some breakfast.  I'm not sure what else we will be doing today.

Friday, April 24

4:57 a.m. - This week shouldn't have been a battle.  It was.  If you remember, I anticipated that.  Just because a week looks fairly clear at the beginning of the week does not mean it will stay that way.  And I've found that usually carma kicks in when there appears to be a simple, easy week.  Yesterday after a lengthy admin meeting, the afternoon came and went.  I did manage to get the camper to West Lake Summit Campground last night, so that's good.  That effort saved me a little time today, and if I had waited until today, there may not have been a spot let.  There were more campers there last night than I expected.  I guess the camping season has hit full swing for everyone else too.  

Today is Friday...finally.  I have a Principals' Meeting at the ROE this morning, which is actually at WIU.  Then I hope to get through the afternoon at IC Elementary before heading back out to the campground this evening for a nice evening.  I'm hoping for a campfire, maybe a beverage, a little MeTV, and a quiet night of sleep.  Let's see how it goes.
