It was so nice to sleep in yesterday! I didn’t even move until my alarm went off…no extra lights turning on/off, no radio clicking on at 5:30. I even took my time getting to CU (okay…that was because I forgot to email something to my students so I did that before I left!), so I arrived at about 10 and skipped chapel (gasp! 
) so that I could get everything ready for my classes.
A test in Basic English and peer group work in Composition made for a not terribly stressful day. My dad was home at lunch. He’d had a doctor’s appt. to finally get his knees checked. Great news: he has TERRIBLE knees! It sounds dumb to say it like that, but now with a doctor’s approval, I think he can start moving towards knee replacements. He can barely move now without serious pain, and it’s starting to make his thighs and calves hurt constantly, too. So we were very glad for that “bad” report! 
I stopped back down at the house after class to pick up some one-helping leftovers that Mom offered to me for the week. While there, I realized that my front tire was really low, so my dad filled it for me. It read 12 pounds of pressure when he hooked the machine up…the tire is supposed to have 44 pounds of pressure. No wonder my car was pulling and shaking so hard! I had a MUCH smoother drive home! 
Last night, a friend invited me over for dinner while her husband was at a bible study. It was a really good time and we had a great dinner and chat. I got home a little after 9:30, so then it was almost time for bed. So far, I’m meeting my goal which is to stay busy so I don’t have much time to think about Eric being gone…hopefully, I be able to keep it up!
I had fun tonight!

Good job on keeping busy!
I’m glad to hear that your dad is getting something done for his knees. He looked like he was in a lot of pain after golfing when we were in New York. What’s the next step…seeing a specialist?
I’m working on the fish thing. Kevin loves it, so whenever he orders something, I try a bite of it. I can do a few things now, but I still don’t love the fishy taste! Oh, and I’m always asking Kevin when we’re going to Mitchell’s. He just laughs at me. Last night was very nice becaue this other couple insisted on paying for everything…and they just kept ordering more!
^ LOL — I do that, too! ^
Hmmm…maybe I should check my tires. I never even think about doing that!
Sounds like you’re staying very busy, but with fun stuff, too!
We should both look into getting new tires today! I know I have the time!
I do hate when he seems to read my mind like that! My back was to him – how could he tell I was rolling my eyes at his silly worrying?!
It sounds like you’re keeping busy! Kyle just pointed out that my tire is low last night, too. I need new tires, so I’m trying to ignore it till I get those! Apparently, I won’t be allowed to ignore it much longer because when he pointed it out, it was “Did you notice that tire is low and I don’t care if you’re getting new tires, you’re not waiting till then to get it fixed?” Oops!
