Day 1712. What a busy day today was! Randy took all three kids to their kindergartens and returned just before I started teaching at 10 am. I taught until just after noon, and then only had a few minutes to get Randy's lunch ready for when he'd return with Sammy and get myself ready to leave the house, making sure I had everything we needed with me.

Day 1711. Yesterday was a holiday, and I happened not to have any students, so that I had the much needed time to work on the newsletter's translations. And Randy put together my scooter that had arrived the day before. I got it because we have so much walking to do on Friday, when I take them to tennis class. That way the three of us have scooters.

Day 1709. Before going to bed last night, I checked again what it would take to go to our friend's funeral today on public transportation. Tuesday is the only day of the week where the kids don't have a class, and it was unusual for me not to have any students on Tuesday afternoon. I couldn't imagine being home doing office work while Sonja's funeral was going on and I could have been there.
