Some Thoughts and Updates

This past week has been just a little busier than usual.  No problems, just busier.   Spock, our RDX, went in for service one day.  Golfer had an appointment one day.  We helped out with watching Cutie Girl while Nurse J accompanied IT Guy to an appointment.  I helped Nurse J with Cutie Girl's last appointment before her eye surgery.  You know, just helping out stuff and normal life happenings.

Nurse J and IT Guy had some vehicle problems when a tire blew out on the road and then they also had a major windshield "ding", so their truck was in the shop for a couple days.  We helped out by picking up BeyB at school.  She is on a short schedule this year and there is no bus to take her home.

Golfer met with a friend for lunch to help with some questions.  Our friend is going to be retiring in a few months and wanted to "pick Golfer's brain".  It sounded like that lunch meeting went very well and Golfer had some answers!

In the midst of these things, we made it to the "Y" several times and all the usual things were done around the house.  We had warm weather, cold weather, sun, rain, sleet, and snow, not necessarily in that order.  Today it's sunny and cold.

And to top the week off, I started to feel a little "off" and went to see our doctor. My suspicions were correct and I have a full blown UTI and am now on some strong antibiotics.

I made a Commissary trip this morning and that pretty much is the extent of my weekend plans.  I am going to be reading some more on another Jack Reacher book when I finish here.  Golfer is all layered up and out on the golf course, so he is happy.

There have been some reports lately and discussions among friends about cursive writing.  The talk with friends focuses on how some of us have deteriorating writing skills as we age and a few can hardly sign their checks.  :)   ha ha    But quite often I hear that many schools no longer teach cursive writing.  They say it's a lost art, not necessary, everyone uses computers, phones, tablets, etc. and there is no need.  One reporter did say that children need to be taught cursive so they can read notes from their grandparents.  And that if no one can read it in the future, who will be able to read all the historical documents that are saved in museums.  ??

Have no fear!  And YAY for Georgia schools!  Grand-daughter Bloomer has a beautiful signature and is learning cursive!  She's a great student and works very hard.  Good job!

Stay safe and enjoy the Super Bowl!
