Well, Judy is marginally better today.  She didn’t have a great night.  Sleep was intermittent.  Her first class doesn’t meet until 10:00, so she slept in late.  The accreditation team is at BISS the next three days, so she will figure out a way to teach her classes.

Of course, my own important plans are completely blown apart.  Judy’s illness has been very inconvenient.  On the days I don’t have classes (Mon – Wed), I listen to ESPN streaming radio, while I drink coffee and Facetime with family, until I feel the need to shower.  If I need to do any grocery shopping, that’s usually my next activity.  I try to get out and walk somewhere every day.  Then I began my class preparation activities. 

I’m working on Blues History this week.  Since I don’t know much about Blues History, this is requiring some research on my part.  If the internet were faster, my research might be a little less frustrating.  Some days, everything works so well, and other days I can’t get Safari to open..

When Judy gets home, she is worn out.  The nausea was not a problem today, but she is weak, and hasn’t eaten much.  She is tired of crackers, but we’re still afraid of anything much stronger.

WEDNESDAY, 10/23/13

Judy slept through the whole night!  Now if we can just figure out something she can safely eat.  She’s still weak and a little fearful of her stomach.   Thankfully her day goes well!  When she gets home, she has enough energy to talk about her day, and the accreditation team meetings.

I’ve almost got my Blues History lessons figured out.  I’ve also been working on another arrangement for some of the orchestra students.  Naturally, I run into a few software issues (mostly my lack of understanding of how to run the software).  When the day ends, Judy is nearing normalility, and I have all my plans and music ready for classes the next two days.
