Family news

Vincent scared me Tuesday by saying he had gotten fired – Apparently, he had just gotten off of work early as they had gotten to a starting point. The St. Matthews mall Halloween superstore is now slated to open on Friday, and we’ll see if he has a job still then. He’s getting out of house arrest again Tuesday to go see a movie who’s headed to Day 1 of college at Centre College Wednesday.

Good news from Florida. Florida Blue Cross has cleared Mom to begin taking the expensive medication that may rebuild Mom’s bone strength around her hip bone. Actually taking the medication – which will involve self-administering a shot to the abdomen every day – isn’t going to be easy to learn. Hopefully it will be easy enough eventually. A key part of Mom’s job is assessing standardized test scores, and – more rushed than usual – Mom has come close to completing the task by Tuesday, which was official release day for the SAT scores. And so Mom’s report went out on the Web (along with other recently released reports) Tuesday: http://www.fldoe.org/evaluation/pdf/SAT2009.pdf

I too finished a draft of a report I’ve been working on for several months today – to begin the long editing process. Late Tuesday Stephanie and I will try to cover between us three meetings: Weight Watchers, a consortium of three plus neighboring Presbyterian congregations trying to work with others around the presbytery to start one of 3-4 new English as a new language ministries for immigrants in our area, and a regional Toastmasters-training event.

Monday I also went to the doctor and began my treatment for a skin ailment.

Far away in Virginia, my nephew Jacob went with his parents Monday to an open house and Tuesday started school – 4th grade, I believe – on the first full day of school.
