Wednesday Reflections

Woody headed off pretty early to go to the local Farmer's Market and then to Kroger and stopped a few other places in his search for a certain brand item. I got up waaaaaay too early...as in a little before 1am. I fell asleep last night when I was sitting in my chair reading and woke up about five hours later and for me that is a pretty good night's sleep and thus I could never get back to sleep. This has been a rather long day! I had a usual Wednesday school day. Isaac had a big day he started doing addition using the Montessori beads. He's working really hard on writing his numbers. He also has pretty much transitioned from the movable alphabet to reading three letter worda and putting them on the picture that they match. He's making great strides. Abigail had her long Grammy time. She stitched another design on her skirt. She is working on the back of her skirt now...perhaps it will be finished before she outgrows it! After lunch, I headed to the church to work in the library for several hours. Between the three of us...I think that we accomplished several things...more books ready for circulation, overdue notice letters printed out (I did that at home in the early hours)and envelopes addressed and turned into the office to be mailed. One of the smaller churches in our association is starting up a library and their new librarian stopped in with questions...so a busy day at the library. A few minutes ago, we received a friendly automated call from Vanderbilt reminding Woody of his orthopedic oncologist appointment next week. But before we get to that appointment several more health issues have to be addressed...this time not in this Dorrell household...but in the Dorrell household next door. Kathy will be having surgery for plantar fasciitis at the local hospital in the morning. Then Friday Nathan, Abigail, and I will be heading off dark and early to go to Vanderbilt's Children's hospital for another ear surgery for Abigail. Vanderbilt seems to be rearing its head a lot in my immediate future...three trips in six days. It has been 12-weeks since Woody's last check with his melanoma doctor. He will be having a CT scan, labwork, and seeing the doctor that day...just the day after he sees his orthopedist. Busy medical times ahead for both Dorrell households! It seems when it rains it pours...well, at least pours medical appointments...not much into pouring rain these days! Though, there is a pretty good chance of rain and storms tomorrow.
