Day 1441: Wings and things

Radiation treatment number nine complete!  Almost half way.  Steve was sleeping hard when the alarm went off this morning.  He's been a rock for his sister, as he always is for all of us.  I went with them yesterday so we could talk about our trip to Scotland and Christmas plans.  It's an hour drive just past rush hour and I could see the strain on him.  I'm glad they both can rest this weekend.  All we have to do is one more parent meeting tomorrow morning and then the rest of the weekend is free for fun and Christmas prep

I reviewed the classes chapter one more time this morning and put it to bed.   So the  three medium chapters left to finish are recruiting and enrolling, student leaders and the Cobb era history.  I set up interviews with six current student leaders for Monday afternoon to collect just a few fresh insights.  The chapter is basically done, but I want to add new voices and stories to give it a bit more spirit.   I will work concurrently on the enrollment chapter which also needs a couple new stories.  I think I'm going to add the crying parents story since that elicited our first two full enrollments this week.  

After lunch Steve had to make another run to Orchard Park with me for my checkup with the retinologist.  The left eye is healing beautifully, but there are suddenly changes in my right eye.  I told  Dr. B I blame the whole mess on forty years of grading papers.  

Sixty-two degrees and a balmy breeze made this feel like a spring day. The same is predicted through Monday.   We did a few miles of walking in between events and topped off our day with a fish dinner with wings at Whiskey Hill.  Delicious, homemade food.  YUM!  I am so grateful for the positive report from the doctor, for Mary's return to good health, for Steve's endurance, for significant book progress and lovely December weather.
