My son arrived safely at his post around Memorial Day. We chat with him online on a fairly regular basis, and have had two or three Facetime chats, including one on Father's Day that just burst our buttons, we were so thrilled! He is working and also applied to grad school, and will start his online classes while over there. I just shake my head in amazement that he can do these things simultaneously.
At work I'm wildly busy (but a little slower today) with a new project we're doing for the first time this summer. It's been very complicated to plan and coordinate, and includes frequent trips to the airport for me to pick up incoming instructors for these courses. I hope next year they allow room in the budget for other means to get them here from the airport, which is an hour from my office. It's fun now, but would be drudgery if I had to do it more often.
Two weeks from today I'm having a knee replacement. It will bring about big changes for me, but the biggest one (I hope) will be a pain-free way to walk around. And I hope to stop taking Celebrex for my arthritis. It's a wonderful drug, and I'm so glad for it, but it's expensive and who knows what it does to a body long-term? I'll be glad to be done with it.
Time for me to depart for lunch. I hope to write more often once this summer project wraps up at work.
