Weekly Review and Preview

Finally I'm feeling back to normal health - that took a long time to recover! I got a cold toward the beginning of last week, but it was gone by Friday. Still haven't done any running. Karate on Thursday the 8th was the first real physical activity I'd done since the karate testing on the 28th.

This week will mark the beginning of lessons for us this year. I had intended to begin on the 6th but my poor health decided that for me. So we jump in Monday at a full schedule!

Sunday - Church, relaxing
Monday - Work 5, Lessons, Karate
Tuesday - Work 5, Lessons Soccer GAME (D), Practice (J,S)
Wednesday - Work 5, Lessons, Church

This week our karate class moves back to its earlier time in the afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays. We've been at 3pm all summer. On Thursdays, I will be teaching a writing class right before the karate class, taking advantage of being in town (one trip saves gas and time), and earning some extra money for Christmas and toward a new work laptop since I will be giving this one back to the soccer league in the spring.

5 soccer games this week but only 2 practices.

David is going to be on a First Robotics League team at a local high school. He will be going to a Robotics competition showcase on Saturday all day, with the team, as a spectator. In October, the team will start working weekly and after the new year, they'll meet almost daily preparing for the competitions. I've been wanting him to participate in this league for a long time and the opportunity presented itself. He'll be one of the oldest on the team since many of them graduated last year.

I have book club on Saturday and on Sunday, we'll be driving over to GR to have a family reunion picnic.
