Josh and the kids were busy over at the CGC this weekend. This year the camp put on an overnight Joyful Hearts Christmas reunion. It was meant for the adult campers with disabilities to be able to have another option for camp time. Full-time caregivers also expressed their delight in being able to have a day freed up over the holiday season. Our new program director Lauren thought of this and it seems to have gone over well.

Today was another writing day. It really is crazy how much time this all takes. I could definitely cut out some distractions, but overall I like to have stretches of time to go at my own pace which is typically pretty slow. There’ll be bursts of time where two or three pages can get done in two hours. I think the most I’ve ever written in a day was eight. The one I’m not currently is at that many. I plan to keep working through the evening.

My back throughout the day has been gradually getting better. It’s hard because when this initially happens I am not able to sit, I can only be on my back or side or walking very carefully. This afternoon I spent some time tracking the indoor meet going on in Nebraska. Ethan ran the 600M for the first time which he seemed to like. The cook brought over a bunch of leftovers which was nice. I need to keep making some progress now.
