Things have been moving fast and furious for us - until this past weekend anyway. That's when the flu hit. I got the official diagnosis yesterday - it is indeed the swine flu. They put Ike on medication as well as me, so hopefully, he won't come down with it. I'm feeling better at the moment - I hope that's a good sign! After school yesterday, I talked with my sub. She told me that six of my students were absent. Hmmm . . . I wonder where I could have picked up this flu bug?
As I mentioned, for the past couple of months our schedule has been packed full with school, church, support raising, and time with friends and family. I think my body needed this mandatory rest that it is having to take!
At school I have been up to my eyeballs with work. Ike is enjoying the dental classes he is auditing - he is in class about 4 mornings a week. We have tried to schedule most of our support raising meetings on weekday evenings or on Sunday afternoons - and no more than one or two a week. Currently we have about 30% of our support pledged.
We've enjoyed special visits with our families lately. The end of September, we went to Charleston for the wedding of Ike's nephew David. This coming weekend we will attend a wedding shower and bar-be-cue luncheon for Joanne's cousin's daughter, Allison. (At least I'm still hoping to go. We'll have to wait and see what my contagious status is.)
We are continuing to plan toward departing for language school in San Jose, Costa Rico in mid-August 2010. It looks like we will put our house on the market in January. We have already begun cleaning out a drawer here and a closet there to prepare for this. Of course, we have much more to do in this department!!
