Summer Camp 2016

Tomorrow is the start of the summer camp and I am both ready and not ready for it.   I'm ready for it to be June but I'm not ready for the drama and the parental interactions.   I feel OK about the staff I've hired too.   I only had one person flake out on me and tell me he quits but not showing up for mandatory meetings.   We'll see how the first days/first week goes and if I'm so calm and collect later in the week.  

I'm bummed about things starting tomorrow too because my foot hurts like hell.   It's hurt since the beginning of last week and it's ruined my plan to have fun this weekend.   I'll be on my feet constantly this week too so that's not going to help much either.    My prescription is not refillable for the pain med I have for the plantar faciiatis so I'll likely go back in and complain some more.

Dan was able to go up to Waukon over Memorial Day weekend and he met my parents.   He was nervous, it was cute.   It was very low key and it went well.   He was surprised by how low key it was but he needed that based on his usual schedule and fast paced life.   It would be nice if he could go to Czech Days too but I'm not sure it will work.    We'll see.  

Gavin is working more regularly at Hy-Vee too.    He did a full shift today in produce and said he really liked it.   He isn't a fan of bagging groceries but understands he'll need to help with that from time-to-time.  

I finished the book "Committed" by the chick that wrote "Eat, Pray, Love".   How long did I have that book LeAnn?  It was a good read.   I should have finished it sooner.   It makes me feel normal for not being married yet so how can I not like the book.   Educated women get married in life...go figure.  (If we get married at all)   I'm not sure what my next book will be yet.    I should be reading more than one by now since I have down time.

I am almost done teaching an independent study at ISU.   I'm training three PE majors to be Red Cross instructors because they have a conflict with the class offered in a typical semester.   They helped me train SYF employees last week since about half needed CPR and First Aid training.    I am teaching another one related to my health education methods class (elementary).    I need to start working on it because the students are expecting to start work this week.  

We haven't watched many movies.   Too much to do and too nice outside.    I watched "Shop Girl" recently.   It's on the dish a lot.    It features Claire Danes and Steve Martin.    It's odd to see them as a romantic couple.   I think Steve Martin wrote the screenplay.   I like it a lot and I don't know why.   I also watched Romeo and Juliet (Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio).   I cannot remember when I last watched the movie.     I've always liked the soundtrack.

Ok, back to work.

  1. I didn't realize your foot was hurting. I would imagine that this week will be pretty hard on it. Did Gavin notice any leg soreness from being on his legs during work? I know he's in shape, but sometimes it's noticeable if you're on your legs for hours straight.
    Mom didn't say much about meeting Dan. How do you think it went?
    I do not envy your SYF schedule starting. I'm looking for my freedom and relaxation time. Into July it goes?
    I haven't seen any movies lately. I saw "Focus" awhile back. It's a Will Smith movie. Not bad either. I'm glad you liked the book. I found it very informational and reassuring.
