November 25. Another dry season day, but lots of smoke, and my eyes have been troubling me. It makes it really hard to do any computer work. The temperature this morning was a couple degrees higher than yesterday morning—48º—but still pretty cold. I went outside in the sunshine again for a while before school. The math lesson today was quite simple and short, so they finished in less than one class time. It was nice to be able to start English class a bit early and then go on to science, thus finishing school a little earlier today, and also having nap a bit earlier. After nap, there were lesson plans to finish for tomorrow, and math exercises to write on the chalkboard. Did a bit of computer work until supper time. After supper, while I was waiting for the dishwater to heat, I started writing an e-mail. Finished that after doing dishes and wrote another short one before having a sponge bath. After that there was a lot of printing to do — new Bible lessons and quizzes, science study notes, and science tests. November 26. Another very cold night — down to 49º this morning, a degree higher than yesterday. :-) The sky was still studded with stars at 5:00 this morning. The skies are clear again this evening so it looks like we may be in for another cold night. The morning was busy, not just with school, but with food preparation. Put eggs on to boil for egg salad sandwiches for supper. Worked on sorting and washing greens whenever the students were doing independent work. After I finally got them washed, I set them to dry in the colander until after dinner. At noon, while the students were working on an English lesson, I made root veggie/meat pancakes for dinner with the leftover root veggies and meat gravy. I cooked one pancake and warmed up the rest of the uxai/pumpkin medley so Daddy could have his dinner. After school was out (1:20), I cooked my pancake and rewarmed the veggies so I could eat my dinner. After dinner, I went out to say hello to Silvia and get a couple pictures of her and David working. David worked about six hours today, making a new gate for the back yard and starting to put in new fence posts. He is a hard worker and is doing a nice job. Made a really nice gate. Silvia helped him. His older boys helped bring the posts for the fence, and the two younger boys helped with little jobs like cleanup. After talking with Silvia a little bit, I came in and cleaned up the kitchen; put the greens, water, and seasonings in the pressure cooker and set them on the stove to cook later; and then lay down for a nap. After nap, I started the greens cooking; then washed and cut up a popo and made popo crisp. Had a snack. Started writing lesson plans for tomorrow. Put math review exercises on the chalkboard. Peeled and mashed the eggs and mixed them with mayonnaise for supper. Cut up a tomato. Then we had supper. Finished up the lesson plans while I was waiting for bath water to heat, and then had bath. Answered the door a couple times. Praise the Lord for the eight eggs that Teresa brought to sell us. Then Aggie brought his phone to be charged and I welcomed him beck to Owena. After doing dishes, I worked on some game ideas for the last day of school.
