Getting There

Today I made some additional progress on my task.  I have three essays to write where I will justify various parts of my lesson plan.  I hope it will come together fairly easily tomorrow as I just want to get it done.  If there is something I can do to distract myself from sitting and writing this stuff and working through this task, I do it.  I went out late this morning and took a break from the books by spraying down the truck engine with degreaser and then shooting it down with the pressure washer.  Well, it then became necessary to take it for a little drive.  It was squealing like crazy with the moisture that got on the belt and so a nice little drive was needed to help eliminate that.  I got back and sat down to get all serious when I received a message that the internet was down at work and I needed to run in and fix it.  I ran in and then spent a couple hours there working on various projects. I left there and had to run to the store to pick up new sink drains as our triple sink is leaking all over the place.  Turns out the sink drains have rusted out and water just dumps right out onto the floor in a couple of the basins.  Not good.  I also found a 5 gallon bucket of semi-gloss paint for $30.  That is great.  I need to paint the kitchen so this was a fabulous find. Lots to do.  I am going to finish this assignment tomorrow and get it submitted before the end of the year. I wanted also to get one more class done by the end of the year but that just didn't happen.  We will push to get it done in the next couple of weeks. 

Our hopes yesterday of pops being transferred to a long term care facility in Cedar came crashing down today.  The antibiotic that he is on is very rare and very expensive apparently.  So expensive in fact that the facility hear doesn't carry it and can't afford the dosage needed as it costs them $500 per day for the products.  That is pretty hefty especially with the idea that pops will be on it for 6 weeks.  There is a chance for a St. George miracle and maybe we will get lucky there.  It isn't a lot of fun.
