Back home
When I woke up this morning in Indy, it was 2 degrees above zero, with a negative wind chill. I couldn’t stay outside more than 5 minutes without my exposed skin starting to hurt.
I drove home to Tennessee today (by myself – I’ll be reunited with the rest of the fam sometime next week) expecting it to be somewhat warmer. It’s a balmy 17 degrees! Good thing I borrowed my father-in-law’s coat!
Speaking of my father-in-law, he’s doing much better. They’re planning on moving him to another wing tomorrow, which is a mixed blessing. The ICU staff was pretty good, and we finally felt comfortable leaving him alone with them for an hour or so. Now that he’s moving to another wing with another staff, it will take some more evaluation. I hear he’s done well today, though. They’re still planning on the hip surgery on Tuesday.
I didn’t bring any of my books with my to Indy (understandable, since it was a decision on-the-fly), so I have a lot of catching up to do on my reading. I had hoped to finish reading and write my three book reviews by this coming Friday. It would give me 5% extra credit. That’s looking more doubtful. It’s worth the effort, though. I hope to make a big dent in my first book tonight.
School tomorrow! Yippee!
