I can't believe that the first week of the new year has passed! On Monday, I learned that I didn't have to teach this month due to the low enrollment at SEI. However, 30 new students have applied for February. Since Bill is busy teaching 2 online classes for Grand Canyon University (music and media arts), he encouraged me to take my "down time" and go to Chicago. I will be leaving next Tuesday to enjoy the grandkids for 10 days. Keri and Kelli warned me to bring warm clothing. Keri's condo is on a lake where hockey games are being played. The last time I was there, we had picnics and watched colorful sailboats.

I went with Bill to see his doctor following his colonoscopy. We were both surprised to find out that the two polyps removed were the cancerous type! Bill will have to have more screenings in the future. This morning, I took my mother to the doctor. She had her insulin increased. For myself, I was pleased to learn that my Tribe will pay for my new eyeglasses. (They should do something with the casino money!)

Yesterday, I had my nails done, and then Bill and I went for a drive. It was a beautiful sunny day! We explored the countryside around Shawnee. When we came home, I cooked pork chops, rice, and greenbeans. I'm looking forward to shopping in OKC tomorrow. The after Christmas sales are on! I want some pretty/feminine sweat suits.
