Planting the Flowers, Bushes and My Feet

So I heard back from my instructor.  Seems she got my point and changed my grade to an 'A'.  She could see that I did fulfill the points on the rubric.  Her rubric is what I challenged.  And since she had not actually made any distinction as to WHAT constituted points or loss of points, and since I followed the instructions, she couldn't actually deduct points.

I have to see the Retina Specialist next Friday morning and see what it will entail to get the scar tissue removed from the back of my eye.  I would like to see clearly again.  I hope it will not incur a long healing period.  If my medical and vision insurance will cover most of the cost, I will schedule it for right after my school year (job) is done mid June. That will give me 6 weeks until I have to start again.  I still have classes to take.  The college is thinking of offering the Phonics class I still need to take the test for my IS license this summer.  If they don't, I will have to wait until next Spring.  Then I will need to take 2 tests to get my license instead of one because the parameters will change in September.

I am getting rather tired of fixing things.  I not only have to replace my garbage disposal, my fridge is leaking from underneath.  It is still under warranty so I got a service appointment but I have to wait a week.  The service person told me it could be a clogged water filter and advised I remove it and see if that takes care of my issues.  So, I have done that and we shall see.  I hope that is all it is.  I did order a new one 3 weeks ago and have not seen it.  I have to call Amazon now and see if I can find out what the issue is.

Still working on the yard.  I am not going at it as aggressively as I had intended.

I AM losing weight still.  I stalled for a bit but now I am down almost 10 pounds.  The doctor expects me to lose one pound per day.  I am not seeing that happen unless I get out and take a walk every day OR put some time in on my gazelle.

Well...time to be more productive.  I have weeds to pull, homeowork to finish, screens to put new screening into...sunroom to clean...garbage disposal to replace...and no, I will not do it all in one day.  Just by Monday...I hope.
