Emmy’s doing quite a bit of modeling for Zumiez. First her torso and chin appeared on their website. Then: waist up, smiling face showing. And a head to toe appearance is next. She’s even modeling their shoes. Also, they’re transferring photos to a thumb drive so she can build a portfolio. I need to detach further from her business though. She’s leaning away from lifeguard teacher training this week-end as if she’ll have future opportunities and I just told her it could be this week-end or never. Her boss thinks the training is important and she wants to be a head guard. She got mad at me of course. I need to stay out of it. She’s not headed to be a pro lifeguard anyway.
I’m ahead of schedule on book planning but I’m going to redo all the steps to make them stronger before I start the draft. I’m glad the schedule’s in place so I can’t berate myself for taking more time to make the character cards, scene lists, character matrix and BIC stronger.
Work’s great as usual. I’m nudging Roberto to quit smoking (enlist help from your kids and buy patches!) I’m encouraging a 35 year old to add yoga, cycling and swimming since his running obessession is hurting his knees and back. And several patients and I are doing every last thing we can do to prevent cancer. I”m helping a newly pregnant 34 year old control and monitor her blood pressure. My office is clean and my hours beautifully controlled.
With a little help from Eric, Lauren seems to be doing just fine in computer science, her most challenging class at UW. I love how calmly she takes the whole college thing. She’s sweet and helps a lot around the house.
Sebastian and I beat Roger and Chris today in pickle ball. Also, Lillian and I beat Curt and Jim and we’ve also beat Curt and Gary. We’re moving up.
Summer lost her wrestling match against a Redmond High School 119 lb sophomore JV guy. She only lost by 2 points. Now, the spotlight’s on the varsity kids and Andy will be wrestling soon.
Plus tomorrow’s supposed to be partly sunny which is as close as we get to sunny and Denni, Luke, Eric and I are skiing at Crystal Mtn tomorrow! And tomorrow night, Eric and I are finally going to temple.
A guy at pickleball suggested I take my French speaking medical skills to Haiti for the earthquake. That is one horrible idea! But I am volunteering for Earthcorps and a free clinic. Also, I told Eric that if our overseas sabatical with Microsoft doesnt’ work out, I could work for medecins sans frontier (it’s actually a paid position) and he could come. That’ll keep him on track for Microsoft in France! Doctors without Borders badly needs French speaking doctors but they ONLY go to the worst places on earth. Also, I still want to do volunteers for Israel.
