6:05 a.m. - And so it begins.  I have four basketball officiating evenings this week.  This is a final tune-up week to the officiating season.  I have new shoes that I tried out on Saturday morning, and I liked them.  My knee is feeling better than it did a couple of weeks ago, but I'm too heavy, which is a concern.  This week will probably determine whether or not I go in for a cortisone shot early in the season and hope like hell it lasts or try to get through the first part of the season until the holidays and then get the shot to get me through the rest of the season.  

Yesterday, I dropped off a card and a magazine for Chase.  I also had an opportunity to learn a few more of the "do's and don'ts" of the facility, and I had a chance to speak with a nurse that is caring for Chase.  On the way home I was called by another caregiver - a doctor that is working with his mental health.  I learned a lot, some of which helped me.  Other news produced more concerns and worries.  I didn't sleep well last night.

The weather is supposed to be very nice again...perhaps the last day of the year near a temperature of seventy degrees.  Later this week, the weather guy was talking temps in the thirties and a chance for some snowflakes.

Today at school, students are working with a short story, and we are all set to resume the essay we started the previous week.  I think finishing that essay is a priority this week.  The students need another test grade before we switch content over to contributions of Indigenous Americans.
