20220112 + Sworn In Again

20220112 + Up in the am and LJ&G at school. I got to the PC and started moving things forward. It was an ok day with some progress. L took Hazel on a big walk and then took G to the Athletic Trainer to see if he is cleared for baseball conditioning, he's good to go, so she ran him home to get his baseball stuff and dropped him off at the high school. I finished my day, ripped the KVM out of my office, it isn't working after really trying it for 3 days... I grabbed my things and headed out to City Hall. I was sworn in for another 3 year term on the Landscape Board by the Mayor and then we had our first meeting of the year. After the meeting I waited in the parking lot for G to finish up conditioning and carry him home. Home and got some dinner and L&I watched a couple episodes of Yellowstone.

We got a nice letter from one of G's teachers today:

Hello Coach Shade & Mr. and Mrs. Winger, 

We wanted to reach out to let you know that Grant has become a true leader in our English class and a great role model to all peers, but specifically his baseball teammates.  He started working in a small book club group today with some of his fellow teammates and another student.  He was organized, made sure everyone's voice was heard, and kept the group together while we were circulating the room and hallways. We were very impressed! 

Take care,
