That’s what I’ve decided to call the day that report cards come home since we always go to Krispy Kreme and get their "Donuts for As". And there were lots of As, too. Both boys got straight As, and the Girl had all As – except in Algebra 2 Honors, where she was one point short of a B. A much better grade than it looked like she’d get from her start in the course this year. Each of them…
Boy #2 came home with a new math textbook today. He showed it to his brother, who said, “That’s my Algebra 1 textbook. Big deal.” Only it’s not. Boy #2’s teacher has decided that he needs the challenge that Algebra gives. Mind you, their sister didn’t take Algebra 1 until 8th grade (and it was Honors, too). She’s taking Algebra 2 Honors right now (and struggling with it, too). His older brother is taking the 8th grade course now, in…
Did fasting blood sugar counts yesterday morning and this morning; it’s in the 90s and that’s pretty good. I really should take it again maybe after picking Boy #2 up from school; see what one measly brownie and some exercise do to the blood glucose levels. My feet aren’t as bad as they had been. The pain has been easing off slightly and slowly; I’m definitely not "dancing" as much. FYI: the "neuropathy dance" is the bouncing that my feet do,…
I’m up to 20 drabbles at 30_beverages with ten more to go. I’ve started posting them at lunaescence, one per day, and I’ll post them at ff.net like that when they’re all done. My feet are hurting today, and were hurting yesterday and a bit the day before. My blood sugar must be way up – and I’m not really surprised. The Girl made brownies last Thursday, two batches, and forgot to take the one batch to school. So we have plenty…
Had a stress test this morning. Never had one before though I heard my dad talk about them. My new GP had been concerned about something he’d seen in my initial EKG so he scheduled me for one. They hooked me up to the computer, got my readings while lying down, standing up, and finally, on the treadmill. It took me all of one minute to reach my heart rate goal. This concerned Dr. L. very much (I should think…
She’s drawn another TBs picture! According to her, the Thunderbirds characters show up in her doodles during science class (between taking notes–she actually likes science). This one is of Alan and his pygmy alligator… sort of a first encounter. She’s got another one that she’s working on, a "secret life of Scott Tracy" thing. She’s drawing the characters as "chibis": small, child-like figures drawn more in the proportion of children than of adults. Personally, I think she’s doing great, and…
Well, well, well! I can finally update! It’s about time MSN! Yeah, today school started, and it’s really quiet here. I’ll probably head out in a bit to get a haircut and pick up the groceries I hadn’t had time to get last week. But the only noise – other than an occasional cat meowing at me – is the air conditioner humming away. We went to the zoo in Columbia yesterday. It was the last day of…
Did a lot of writing today, between washing, drying, folding and sorting loads of clothes, and stripping then remaking my bed. Managed to get two posts written for IR:TNP today, one written last night went up, so I had three in all. Wrote a quick drabble on Grandma Tracy, and finished chapter 35 of The White Winds as well, and posted both. I even started a little bit of my "Tracy Daughter" fic (actually, she was bugging me so much that…
Got another chapter of The White Winds up today. Boy, was I thankful for Hobbeth! She saved my bacon by reminding me that one of the characters had discussed a certain matter earlier. Fortunately, I didn’t have a whole lot of rewriting to do. Thanks, Hobbeth! I’ve also joined a new community on live journal called 30 beverages. There’s a list of drinks that you’re supposed to write drabbles on. I’ve got two up already (I’ve asked for Thunderbirds as…
