Saturday, May 2

7:10 a.m. - I didn't sleep well last night.  So I finally went back to sleep around 4 a.m. this morning.  I think maybe I got a few hours of sleep overall.  

Yesterday was awful.  There was an issue in the building that will be hard to resolve.  And then there were a few little problems, and Mr. Lehtola was there, so I could show him around a bit.  And then in the afternoon I had to be a substitute bus driver - my first such experience in a bus that wasn't easy to operate.  Driving the bus wasn't a problem - operating the lights was an issue.  Plus there was a safety feature I wasn't aware of with the transmission that no one told me about.  It was pretty chaotic, and I relied on students to tell me where to go to their drop off spots.  In the end I got back to the bus barn with the bus in one piece and no students left over.  When I got home the Southwells were there with some Benny's Pizza.  They needed a place to land while their house was getting shown.  

Today I'm headed to Fort Madison to spend time with the Hoenigs.  I hope to have a nice day.  On the way home I'm going to stop at a baseball game at Illinois City - 5 p.m. start.
