Nice Day Off

The lovely, predictable Texas weather was at it again. Highs in the 50's yesterday and sunny, and man was my day off nice.

Started out with coffee with Shelby before school. Immediately followed that up with coffee with Kelsey. Gotta love two different schools with two different start times. That's one of my favorite times of the week, just getting caught up with my girls for an uninterrupted hour.

Did a complete round of blog checks. It can take an hour or so, but it's the perfect antidote to teaching three times on Sunday, and three different lessons. Sure, there was a bit of overlap on two of them, but primarily the lessons were different. It's a nice way to decompress, checking blogs of friends and students.

Read for half an hour (more on that book when I finish it).

Napped for two hours.

Woke up, had lunch, returned a computer game for another one for the girls and picked up a "splash guard" for my fancy water bottle since the store that has them was next to CompUSA.

Went to the doctor. No need to hang out a shingle (see yesterday's entry), and no structural damage. We're going to try some stretching and lifting (I've been trying to get well by resting it) and we'll see if it need an MRI to check for cartilege damage, but he wanted to try some special exercises to see if that solves the problem.

Came home, finalized cleaning out the garage (AGAIN, but it's pretty much done now that the charity picked up the bags from the last time). The van can come back in!

Read for a half hour in my hammock.

Loaded the software on the computer with the girls.

Went to the store and purchased dinner supplies and grilled dinner. Cleaned the kitchen and then prepared a lesson to teach to a local middle school's Fellowship of Christian Anybody's (used to be Fellowship of Christian Athletes)...

Watched the news.

Sometimes, you just have nice days. That's what I had yesterday.
