G'day, folks.
After working on it all week to the exclusion of all else, difficult child 3 finished his Assessment Task which involved two short writing tasks, total of about 1500 words. But it's done and in the mail. Two more Assessment Tasks to go, over the next fortnight. I'm getting more grey hairs!
The incentive was the chance to have a long driving lesson on the highway tomorrow, with husband. Because if he hadn't finished the work, difficult child 3 was going to have to stay home tomorrow and keep working.
It's been difficult for difficult child 3 to work without me to support him. I'm not allowed to help, but if I'm home at least I could have kept his nose to the grindstone. But this week I've had tests, doctor appointments etc on top of my daily radiation treatment.
But it's done. A relief. Failure to complete these tasks can lead to failure for the year in that subject. So another hurdle overcome.
Tomorrow I'll have the males out of the place while I can either stay home and rest, or go to my writers meeting. If I go to the meeting I'll have to leave early, husband & I are going to a dinner tomorrow night for his train club. So I may choose to stay home and have a quiet day.
husband had his second rabies shot today. He seems to be weathering them fairly well so far. A few aches & pains, plus his thumb still throbs, I believe, where they injected 5 ml of rabies immunoglobulin into it. He told the local doctor (who did today's injection) about the wildlife rescue lady being so tactless and indiscreet and worrying mother in law - the doctor fully agreed. She knows mother in law and knows exactly why we shielded her from this sort of information until we need to give her the full story.
Enjoy your Friday, everyone.
