Semester end

It's finally that time. I'm still grading of course. Ellie is watching Batman. Sometime I have to take time to write yet another letter to my insurance company.

Ellie had her Christmas concert on Thursday night. Linda didn't go because the Lutheran church is really hard. They have a gravel parking lot, so it is hard getting in. And they don't have an elevator in the (empty) elevator shaft, so she can't go downstairs. And she's too short to see anyway, so she spends the whole time looking at the back of people's heads anyway.

However, the local TV station records the concert and will record a DVD for you, so I brought a DVD-R in for that. Ellie was really cute this year (as opposed to last year when she was just totally random and had a hard time staying in control).

Linda and I still go to the gym once a week, although this week there was no nurse working so she couldn't exercise. They are very cautious and want to get Linda's blood pressure for the so many visits. It's a little annoying, given that she worked out exactly the same way in exactly the same gym with a therapist for two years now. Supposedly the rule is changing next January. Since we couldn't work out we went to the store instead, and that was nice too.
