7:23 a.m. - Another great day of weather; another day that I'm not camping! Ugh. Well, at least yesterday I explored a couple other spots. The Interstate Campground out on 80 and Hickory Grove Road isn't great, but it would be doable to just camp or maybe use in hot weather with children because there is a pool. The Buffalo Shores Campground is a Scott County run area, which is nice and a little cheaper. Unfortunately, right now there is some sort of septic problem that is causing the shower house and restrooms to be closed. I'm also not a big fan of being next to the river, especially with kids, but if it was just me or just Amber and me it would work. The weather for next weekend looks dry and cooler, which is workable. I think I'm going to wait to make reservations at Loud Thunder, but maybe I'll make those reservations tomorrow or Tuesday. I did get through yesterday's volleyball tournament, and it didn't go badly. I just need more experience to feel more comfortable. I only have two dates left tomorrow evening and Thursday evening, and then I can put that stuff away until next Spring when Illinois hopefully has a volleyball season. Today I'm going to go look at a new mower, but that will require me to take the truck and borrow my dad's trailer after church service. I think before all that happens I'm going to get a stretch in and perhaps get a little jog on the treadmill.
2:26 p.m. - Today has been a battle...not a tough battle, but everything has been difficult. I did end up getting some exercise this morning with a 20-minute jog on the treadmill. I was able to get to church service, and then I got to the recycle in Milan for all the anti-freeze jugs and cardboard that needed to be removed from my garage. After that I tried to get my dad's trailer, but I ran out of time before I had to get home to my basketball clinic. I did get home, but I had trouble viewing the clinic. Eventually, I was able to view the clinic, but I missed the first part. I hope I still get credit for it.
Things to do for school
- meet with Mr. Lehtola and Mrs. Hasson
Things I Could Do or Need to Do In the Future
- Wash the trailer.
- Winterize the trailer.
Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (10/11)
Hospitalizations went above 400 yesterday for the first time in a long time. That statistic is concerning. Our BOE is considering what our learning model is going to be moving forward for second quarter, and I just can't see how any decision to have more students in the building at one time is a good thing given the direction of positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. Along that note, I'm struggling to see how basketball games can be hosted. If we couldn't have volleyball and football when the numbers were lower, how can we have basketball and wrestling when the numbers are increasing?
UPDATE - 2:32 p.m. - In the clinic today, Kurt Gibson reported that currently, basketball cannot play. So the state, IDPH, and IHSA are going to have to come together somehow, or basketball can't be played at the end of November.

Prayer for My Heart
Holy Spirit...
Help me have...
a pure heart, that I may see;a humble heart, that I may hear;
a heart of love, that I may serve;
a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
Amen
