5:36 a.m. - The start of the work week is always nicer when it's a Tuesday instead of a Monday. Yesterday went pretty well, even though I didn't get much exercise. Carmen visited in the morning, and we talked for a couple of hours before she went to meet Sue in Rock Island to do some shopping. Carmen definitely is looking pregnant now, and she's feeling okay, and I am just glad everything seems to be going well. She seems to continue to really like her job with the Lee County Economic Development Group, and we talked about how she's learning just how difficult it is to get groups of people to work together. I hadn't seen her for awhile, so it was just nice to have a conversation and a couple of hugs and see how she's doing.
Prior to that, I did some revising on my lesson plans for the week, and I now have them how I want them. I just needed to switch some things around and get the students going on that presentation project sooner. I need to have those presentations before the end of the month when I'm going to be gone a couple of days due to a dentist appointment and the follow-up to the foot. Speaking of the foot, it's still feeling stronger all the time, but yesterday morning I turned the foot just right, or in this case just wrong, and the pain about buckled me. It's a good thing only Bella was home, or anyone in the house would have heard me shout out. I'm not exactly sure where that fracture is at, but it's in there somewhere. I still won't be doing any running or sharp cuts for awhile. It doesn't really help that the inside of my knee has arthritis build up and the outside of my foot has a fracture in it...the two problem are sort of working against each other.
Amber comes back home tonight. After school, I'm going to work to tidy up the house, but it's really in pretty good shape. I have to pick her up at the airport around 9 p.m., and that will give me some time to watch another round of postseason basketball games I was supposed to be working tonight - the Normal West Sectional. Amber seemed to have some time on the beach yesterday, but she said it's still unusually cold.
Yesterday afternoon I went into Milan and picked up more stamps, as my supply was running low. Then I went to the casino to get a new player's card because I had left mine in a machine the day before. Then I went to mom and dad's and watched the Daytona 500 with them. We watched through stage two, and then I came home to watch the boys regional game I was supposed to work, along with a couple other games that I had some connections. The Daytona 500 ended with an "outlier" winning after "the big one" crash took out 18 cars with only eight laps left. That's about how it goes with that race. My dad is a big fan of NASCAR, so it was good to sit with them and just be with them while he watched something he enjoyed. I had plenty of friends in their dogs and cats too.
Today should be pretty smooth...get through the school day. It's FFA week this week, so things will be a little wacky, but that's okay. It's John Deere vs. Case IH day today...I'll have to see what I can do for that. I think I have a sweatshirt I can wear. Then after school I will get home and tidy the house up. Then I'll watch some high school basketball. Then I'll pick up Amber at the airport. Hopefully we'll be back home and to sleep by 10 p.m. I know Amber will be tired from her flights. I think she goes to Dallas first and then into the Quad Cities.
