I think it has been two weeks, maybe just one. Days run together when you have nothing to do. Still looking for work and I am all out of recent pictures. Not sure why but there are some old ones no one has ever seen.
Haven't been up to a lot. I think in the last one, we had come back from swimming. As always, I don't really remember so I will just jump into it.
Paid off the last of Maeghan's trip. She leaves next week for New Zealand. She will be gone for 8 days. Not sure if I get to say goodbye to her here or if I get to go to the school and say goodbye at the bus. I gave here a couple of bags to practice packing but I am not sure she will do that. She needs to make sure her stuff will fit and decide what she can and cannot take with her. I bought her a great big parka and it has to go into her bag so it will take up a lot of room. I don't know if she will need it or not but it is cold in NZ so she was told to bring one.
They are travelling everyday while they are there, staying in a different place each night. Lots and lots of activities planned. Boat riding, bobsledding, museums, hiking, all kinds of different things in different places. Hopefully, she will get to do all of it. They might even be swimming in a hot spring but I think it will be too cold to do that. But she leaves in a week and I am sure they will have fun. Be a long time to be away from home.
William has been doing ok. He got his Naplan test back, it's an Australian thing. He was disappointed but I think he might have missed some of it because he got zeroes in a couple of the subjects which I would think means he did not take those. He didn't do that great in the ones he did have grades for either but he has never been good a school. He does seem to enjoy going so that is good.
William has started laughing and smiling with me lately. He normally doesn't do that but it would seem I have finally become funny to him. Not sure what I have changed but I do notice him smiling a whole lot more lately. It's kind of nice to see him happy. Not that he is unhappy but he has never seemed to get my humor, or anyone else's, before now. It's a nice change.
We went to a school movie the other night, to raise funds for Maeghan's trip. I think it is for the insurance on the trip as I have already paid for everything else but they needed to make some more money. It was the Peter Rabbit movie. I wasn't really paying attention but the parts I did see I thought were really funny. Most of the jokes would have gone over the kids heads I would think but they all laughed a some parts. I did find out about halfway through the movie that Maeghan and William had already seen it so we could have skipped it but Maeghan had to sell tickets at the door so she had to be there anyway. It was fun.
I did fall down the stairs as we were leaving. I was looking at my phone and ran into an overhang on the staircase. Didn't really hurt myself but I scratched my phone and my shoulder hurt for a long time after that. My back hurt also and it seems to be getting worse the last couple of days. Not sure why. I did move some weight machines about three weeks ago so maybe the fall hurt it again. Not sure but I can barely walk at times. Makes it hard to go for a walk each day as I have been doing. Trying to lose some weight, as always, so I thought I would at least walk each day. Not very long walks and with my back hurt, I have to stop and rest a lot but I stop at coffee shops and have a coffee or I stop at the shops and buy things.
HQ is going right now, so I have to keep interrupting to answer questions. So far, not so hard but I think I will have to stop typing soon. Then again, maybe not. I just missed a question so I am out. But, I do have to go to the school soon. William asked me to go to a play or something at school so I think I need to go. He usually never tells me when he is in something at school. Mostly because he does not participate a lot but he told me about this one and asked me to go so I think I will. I don't know if he told his mother to be there or not but I am pretty sure she has to take her mother to the doctor so I would assume she would not be there.
In any case, I need to get going. I am watching the kids tonight for a bit. Not one of my normal nights but Juanita said she does not know what time she will be getting home so I am watching the kids until she picks them up. I am not sure if this is a substitute for tomorrow night when the kids are usually here but we will see. So, that's it for me.
Until next time
