6:15 a.m. - Yesterday went fine...school went okay; I fear that students don't work hard enough when they get the opportunity, but that's something I fear often. We didn't have a softball game yesterday, even though Rockridge did. I'm all for getting in games when the weather isn't great, but yesterday was brutal - yes there was sun...but cold and wind gusts of 40 mph? That's not something to be playing in. That's just going to get someone sick or injured or both. I'm glad my game was canceled. I did end up using the time to get the sleeper couch put back together. It' looks horrible, but I learned something. Now I know how the furniture piece comes apart to get rid of it - whenever I can afford to get something else. I suppose I did accomplish the attempt of peeling away all of the old flaky covering that was coming off. I don't imagine my "fix" will last very long before it starts peeling off as well.
Today looks like better weather....not as cold, definitely not as windy. So we'll get in a full day of school - hopefully the students will work harder. And then we'll get in some softball in United. I haven't been there in awhile.
Tomorrow, I'm skipping out of school and going to an appointment for my eyes. I'm not crazy about this, but I'm needing a check-up. I've got some things planned around the appointment that will be useful. I think I'll head to Aledo in the morning and get my LP tanks filled for the camper. Then after the appointment I think I'm going to head to the Rock Island County Historical Society and do some research into Loud Thunder. I'm curious about some things, and I haven't been able to find answers over the internet.
