I've completely lost track of time. Homeschool Day (blank) is out the window. It's been almost a week since we found out that we will not be returning to school. Last weekend was rough for me. I've been in a state of depression since. But, every day gets a little better. The worthlessness feelings are starting to subside. I wish I could do more, but I know I'm doing what I can.
Sophie is thriving. She is so freaking smart. I've had to find extra resources online to give her more challenging content. If I didn't love being a band director so much, I'd consider homeschooling Sophie. Now, don't get me wrong, she is in a great school, with great teachers and mentors that will challenge her and provide the support she needs, but I enjoy watching her work. She's pretty awesome.
FInished my grad school class for this semester. I don't think I start summer session until June, so the month off will be appreciated. I'm thinking about taking a course through another university, while courses are being offered for free everywhere. Pick some classes that sound interesting, that I probably wouldn't have the opportunity to take in my current grad program. It would give me something to do at night other than Netflix.
We just got a basketball hoop for Sophie. I'm sure we will spend all of our outside time right now playing basketball. She had a lot of fun this season with her basketball team. I'm looking forward to teaching her how to play. Basketball was my sport, and I hope Sophie continues down this path. It's fun to watch her come out of her shell a bit with this sport. During soccer and baseball, she was timid, scared and a bit unfocused. She took to basketball quickly, and I don't see as much of that timidness in her when she's on the court.
Some house projects that are starting this weekend are refinishing adirondack chairs that have weathered in the sun, and staining the vanity in the downstairs bathroom. Wish me luck.
Stay well.
