Tuesday update. I think I have the worst hair cut I’ve had in 10 years. There is nothing I can do with this hair. My hair looks ok in the shop, then I get home & wash it, and it’s humid, and it flips and curls all kinds of annoying ways, & my bangs are an inch shorter than they were in the shop.
Today’s update: No baby yet. We await his or her arrival. It will begin when it begins. Today was Leah’s last teaching day. I don’t know what it will mean if baby doesn’t come for a week or two. I guess she has that much time off to sleep and rest her body.
I went to a public library, worked on my book. Lately I get more lost every time I do it. I’ve gone through the entire dissertation at this point, cut out various parts, reworded other parts. I have a major problem showing up, which is that the stories of prison life conditions, which are gripping and interesting, are twice the length of the activities the prison reform groups are doing. I’m still working on balancing this whole thing into 8-10 chapters of decent length and similar length. At this point, I’m just disgusted. But I will persevere. Left for Panera for a little lunch & then stayed there & worked a little more. PANERA WIRELESS ROCKS!!! In case you didn’t know. Simplest WIFI in the world to use.
Today we discovered Jean has strep. My throat is slightly itchy tonight, and I’m praying I don’t get it at ALL. We all want it to go away quickly. And especially for Zakiah not to get it (or Leah of course). Jean had a fever of 102 all day & finally went to a doctor & got penicillin.
Played some ball with Zakiah, picked up Mexican for dinner, Zakiah got a bath, we read a book, Leah & I took a long walk, now all is quiet. Jean is sleeping on the couch tonight, away from everyone.
My son got a JOB today. Some good news.
