This week has been quite uneventful. I have been recovering from another cold. I feel 90% better today. I think that's a good sign.

On Monday and Tuesday I didn't feel much like getting out. I mostly read, sat in the sun to stay warm, prayed, and slept. Taking it easy is the best way to recover no matter how difficult it may be. Unfortunately, I don't do it very often.

I had plans to go to school with Mary Alice on Wednesday, but due to a public school teacher strike and demonstration downtown, school was canceled (as a safety precaution). I was a little disappointed, especially after being in the house for 2 days, to learn that I couldn't go out for safety reasons.

Today, I had to register for GPC classes for the fall, so I wasn't able to go either. That turned out to be alright though. Mary Alice, Joshua, and Mary Beth all came home at around 9 with the news that school was canceled due to lack of attendance. Mary Alice said there was only one elementary school student there. So, it was another quiet day of reading and resting. I guess I can't complain though, I never get the chance to relax like this at home!!
