I’m actually kind of enjoying the rain today. I don’t like that it’s going to be freezing cold tomorrow and then warmer again all week. I still think the weather should be required to get cold and stay cold, then get warm and stay warm. But I guess no one asked me!
So far this morning, I’ve exercised, showered, had breakfast, cleaned up my kitchen, swept the kitchen floor, made iced tea for Eric and done my bible study. I think I’m going to try to get work done this morning so that I can run errands this afternoon. I really need to get my oil changed, but we’ll see if that happens!
We had greek for dinner last night. It’s a really easy recipe which Eric loves, and there’s always just enough left to send to work with him for lunch. Anyway, I didn’t bother to clean up the dishes at all last night. Eric went to play with his computers (he’s downloaded a new Linux distribution so he’s figuring out all the little nuances), and I ended up watching tv and surfing the net on my laptop. It was nice to just be and not think too hard! We were in bed by 9:30, too. It was great!
I’ve got an idea about the dog. Maybe you could take it to Cedarville with you when you’re teaching and keep it in your purse, or maybe even in your mom’s office or house! Then you could run to her house and let it out or have her take it out! I think it’s a fabulous solution. Kyle would be very jealous if you got a min pin, though – he’s always wanted one!
Knee replacements can be different for everyone. If your dad really does it in the near future, it probably won’t entail too much for him. At his age, he would be in the hospital 3-4 days and then go to outpatient PT. He would just use a walker for a little while, move to crutches or a cane, and then be without anything within a few weeks probably. He would also be given plenty of exercises to do. I hear it’s pretty painful, but the younger (less than 65) ones usually don’t complain too much!
Oh…and a Linux distribution is a version of Linux. Linux is another way to run your computer, other than Windows. But it’s freeware, so people can download each version and tweak it as they want to. Then they can release it for others to try. Mostly Eric just downloads them and tries them. They don’t take as much disk space as Windows, so older computers can run on them without being really slow. It seems to be fun for him…I just let him download to his heart’s content!
What? Not Greene? I can’t believe that!
Okay, Okay…Kim gets the prize. I only teach on MWF because I’m only on a 3/4 time contract this year. So Tuesday/Thursday, I only go to CU if I have to for some reason. I just do the work I have (grading/prep/etc) from home on those days. The internet comes in really handy for that and it saves me 100 miles on my car (roughly 50 miles each way) two days a week.
Listen, EVERYONE wants to know why you aren’t at work – why don’t you tell us?!
I have a new doctor because we live in Cincinnati and are moving to Xenia. So my old doctor is in Cincinnati, and my new doctor is in Xenia. That way, we don’t have to drive down to Cincinnati to have this baby! Instead, we get to go to Miami Valley (NOT Greene Memorial).
I did not enjoy walking to and from my car in the rain this morning. I would prefer that winter just be winter.
Do you teach only MWF classes?
Yeah, why aren’t you working? I’m pretty sure classes have started back already. I have no idea what a Linux distribution is but I’m sure it’s a fun thing — for Eric at least.
If you don’t have to work, why do it? I’m sure you can find plenty of other things to do!
Why aren’t you working? Sounds like you’re getting a lot done instead! Oil changes are a pain! I can’t wait till I’m not driving so far, so I don’t need one every month!
