Monday, April 24

6:02 a.m. - Yesterday was Day 2 of the firewood cutting project.  We had hoped to get it all done, but we got stopped short due to chainsaw equipment issues.  So we will finish that up another day.  Shawn did show me how he was going about polishing his camper, so I enjoyed learning about that even though I discovered it's a lot of work.  It's something I want to do for our trailer, but it's a big job.  One thing I am sure of...my body is hurting...last night I could hardly keep my eyes open after I got home...I fell into bed before 8 p.m....took a couple of Tylenol and was out.

Today is going to be a little weird.  We are transitioning from the training path presenter series to our next instructional unit over transcendentalism.  I'm not exactly sure how that's going to look, so I'll work on it when I get to school.  

The weather looks decent for softball games this weekend; unfortunately the weather is not once again looking decent for a weekend camping get-a-way.  Maybe the forecast will improve over the next couple of days.
