Everly! Azalea! Duolingo! 11.3.22

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:31 pm  

Cool! I really enjoyed my trip to Niagara Falls.

OYB!

Talked with the receptionist at my dentist about when I’m supposed to go back in for the implants. I need to know how much the insurance will pay for. I’ll take Jessi to her appointment on Monday and should be able to get it squared away then.

Another early morning for me. Was at Azalea by 7:30AM.

Mileage. Sent pictures to Ashley.


Everly has been sick with the flu. She’s been running a temperature for over a week. Little sweetheart.

I took her to Lowes today to get a key made.

It’s a spare key to get inside their house. We hide it in a flower pot.

Christmas decorations.

Since she’s been sick she’s hardly eating at all. Took her to Taco Veloz for beans and rice. She ate the beans pretty well.

I love their salsa verde, but it’s mighty hot.

She had a good rest after we got home.

She was running a temperature again this afternoon. Hate that. We’ve nearly given her the whole bottle of Tylenol.

Had a promising phone call from a youth director today. I sent him a message with our website for the teams. I’ll call him personally tomorrow.

Since Everly has been eating so little, I even try to get her to eat ice cream. I figure that might help her stomach feel better. She’s been complaining about a stomach ache for weeks. The doctor gave us some good ideas, but hasn’t really helped much. She barely ate two bites, of ICE CREAM!

Everly has seen me studying Duolingo for Spanish a LOT. Today, I showed her the reading version for her age group. She worked on it for over an hour and a half! Duolingo really is a world class operation. I love that they have all these learning scientists constantly figuring out the best way to make things “stick.”

Worked with the kids at the mission. We had pretty much finished all the work yesterday. Just a couple needed help. Everly worked on her shapes and Penelope had fun adding numbers. I helped another with elapsed time questions, geography and cell structures. One has a project for social studies. That class has a project nearly every week! Crazy.

Listened to Harry Potter in Spanish on the way home. I prefer to listen to Cadena Ser radio from Madrid but I couldn’t tune it in. It’s WAY harder than listening to one guy read. But it’s also more like real life with lots of conversations going on at the same time at high speed.

Checked the mail at my office and on my ficus.

I’m dominating the league this week.
