Friday, August 27th

6:13 a.m. - So teachers and all staff in K-12 education and higher education are required to get vaccinated.  And teachers and staff and students have already been under a mask mandate in the building since the beginning of the school year.  Now the mask mandate in Illinois is everywhere.  Wait, so having masks on only in the school buildings was a bit weird when no one else was required to wear them anywhere else in Illinois?  Basically, the requirement to wear masks and get the vaccine is a bit ironic and "non-news"...ya, been there, done that.  Yesterday was a productive day...got my torque wrench and visited mom and dad at the farm to have dad teach me how to set the settings and just have a nice visit.  I also learned that maybe I have a place to store the Eagle in the off-season.  I also went to the eye doctor to figure out what the heck is going on in order to get a vision check-up, and I think I got that straightened out.  The weather?...yup, hot again today...probably another 1:30 dismissal.  Yesterday, I got textbooks handed out, and chromebooks were distributed (at least to those who were eligible).  I also got students emalis/contacts grouped, and a couple other little "paperwork" things completed.  Today, should be a nice day because we are going to the library to get stories, and the library is air-conditioned.  The Public Speaking course also has a nice little activity in the lesson.  Finally, I also called Mr. Schaffer to let him know that I will be down not this weekend but next weekend to pick up the new camper, and someone is coming to our house on Sunday to look at the JayFlight.  So a lot is happening!  It's been a busy week; I'm looking forward to the weekend.  I forgot to mention, I also rode my bike with the weight vest on, and I did a few laps in the pool too.  This morning, I was encouraged to see the scale lower than it's been in awhile.  I could be just dehydrated, but I know I have done better this week with exercise and meals.
