Friday, February 26

6:28 p.m. - Today is going to be a mess a school.  It's presentation day, and I'm not exactly sure how it's all going to work.  Having students present with chromebooks and webcams and projectors and virtual learners....ugh....confusion, student stress...it all comes together today.  We will learn as we go and do our best to make it worst the best we can.  That has pretty much been the 20-21 school year in a nutshell anyway.  Last night we had the grandchildren over - Kenzie's three and Kourtney's one.  I was able to hold Luke for awhile...he napped and I dosed off here and there.  There isn't much better than filling your belly with a good supper and holding a sleeping newborn and dosing yourself.  Life was good.  I'm always enthralled at holding those little ones...just amazing how fast it all goes.  I guess that's something an old person would say.  Tonight we officiate Sherrard and Orion - a good old fashioned rivalry game!  My knee needed a break from officiating last night, so hopefully I'll be a little better off tonight.  Did I mention it's pay day AND one of our tax refund deposits came in...whoop, whoop!  It's nice to see the bank account so fat, but I still have the mortgage payment and that recent truck repair check to have come through, so my balance will be back to normal weakness levels very soon.  On the other hand, I am getting a bit of a savings nest built up...not much by normal standards of folks my age, but more than I've ever been able to save up.  And the House of Representatives is set to vote on a stimulus package today...I'm not sure if Amber and I will qualify for any additional government stimulus dollars, though.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (2/26)

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.
