This doesn’t surprise me at all.

Tried to book my COVID and flu shots on line. Wasn’t able to. This afternoon on the way to the mission, Kathy got it set up at Walgreens through a phone call. J,K and I will all get them done this coming Saturday. Amen.

This is a close up view of the map of San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala. I’ll be staying at Hotel Berena. I have my own room which will cost me $10\/night. I’ll be there a week. Berena will be my base camp to explore Lake Atitlan and the villages around the area.

Chat GPT is very powerful. On a blog I read today, it mentioned that you could use these specific commands to get me even better responses.

Walked my hill twenty times. This is the second time this week that I forgot to turn on Runkeeper to track my mileage. Hard to believe it! Compared to other similar walks that’s about 3.76 miles.<\/p>\n

The little flag on my mailbox to show when I have outgoing mail cracked off. Got the super glue and quick fixer spray to repair it.

My wisteria plants continue to grow. I tied black yarn around the trees to train the vines where to go. I’m kind of conflicted about the project since I know that wisteria is an invasive plant and not great for trees, but I still love the flowers and don’t think it’s really any worse than English or Poison Ivy which is rife around here.

I found out today that the fall break for DeKalb County is during my Safari to Guatemala. That’s good in the sense that that’s two more days that the kids won’t need me, but bad because that’s two full days I could have been with Penelope and Everly. C’est la vie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everly’s party is on Sunday at Sky Zone which is a trampoline place. I spent about thirty minutes wrapping all the presents for her. I got a bunch of art supply stuff so she has plenty of presents to open. I also got a couple of things for Penelope.<\/p>\n

Ready to go, jelly roll.

After eating Mexican food, K and I went to Azalea to pick up the girls.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Kathy got her a bunch of balloons. Only one of them slipped off the thread and went to Jesus. It was really windy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

K had a good art project for them to do.

Helped the kids with their homework. There have really been a lot of children needing help this year.<\/p>\n

I had an emergency meeting with the parents of one of my kids today. Apparently, he and his brother were going to be thrown out of school because his parents hadn’t done the school registration correctly. They needed to provide proof of ID, a utility bill showing where they live and a copy of the apartment lease. I went to their house (the parents were eating dinner), explained the situation (all in Spanish, of course), got the documents, went to another family’s house who had a printer that copied documents, and got two sets of documents for the kid and his brother to take to the office tomorrow. Catastrophe averted. Amen. Yet another time that I’m so glad I’ve focused on being able to speak Spanish.<\/p>\n

Ashley put some new lenses in my frames. Thanks, Ash!<\/p>\n

Beautiful sunset.

Nana and I worked on getting her tickets for her trip to the ATL this December. Great price! Can’t wait to have her here!

Fun talk with her after the work got done.

Pushed hard today. Eventually, they give up trying to make so many points and you know you’re going to take the higher place. Not sure he’s at that point yet. Usually it takes getting ahead by about 4,000 points. It’s hard for someone to beat me even when they’re 3,000 points behind.
