I thought I was going to have some time, hours, during the last few weeks.  I actually had 2 weeks vacation, but that relates to 10 days.  I still work weekends.  But up until now I have only had 8 days off this year, so the 10 days is great.

 

The really good news is I have perfect attendance as an instructor at the college, so I get the week of spring break off as an extra week of vacation!  Plus I have another 2 weeks coming.   I'm really looking forward to that!

 

The past two weeks were not recreation.  I spent most of it catching up errands and housework.  But that's okay.  The home looks much better.  Not all good yet, but much better.

 

The bad news is Debbie got sick from a cold about 5 weeks ago.   It seems that each time she gets ill, she comes  back a bit less that before.  This has been happening from the time of the brain infection.    She is over the cold, but during that time, she became very very weak.

We had to move the commode chair back upstairs.  It's in her room at night, and in the front room during the day.   The bathroom is only 20 feet away from her chair, and about 15 feet away from her bed, but she can't do that on her own during and after this last cold.

 

She is over the cold, but is still very weak.  Until three days ago she was chilling to the point of almost having convultions from shivering.  This would last for hours, then she would get overheated, as a rebound I'm guessing, and sweat for hours.   That's now over and she is much more stable.  Her strength is coming back a small amount, and she is eating much better again.  She still needs help to go more than a few feet on her own, but she is now doing that much and can use the commode chair on her own. It's difficult for her, but she is managing.  That's an improvement.

 

Hopefully in another couple of weeks, or sooner, she will be able to get to the van and drive again.   But right now I'm not sure.  Been a rough month.  I am concerned how the daytime will go when I am back to teaching at the college and Meg is back at school during the day.  With the progress she has made, I think she will do okay.  Guess I'll find out Monday.

 

Back to the good side.  My C3 MIGHT be going into the body shop at the college perhaps at or just after the end of the month.   I thought it would be sooner, and I'm still not sure of the date.  When it does, I will take photos and start writing.   The body and paint will show up in Corvette Enth Mag.  just like the engine article.   Keep you fingers crossed on that one.

 

It will be bright red, and maybe realistic flames on the cowl section of the hood and custom paint "Corvette" on the rear bumper.  Provided all goes well.  Time will tell.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Now for the truly scary.  Meg has her temp permit, and is starting to drive!   So far no damage to the Tempo.    And my nerves are still okay.   But she needs a LOT more practice!    

 

Well gotta go for now.   I need to get out of the scooter store, pick up some stuff so I can make supper tonight, and get home.   I'll try to get back on tonight. 

 

Looking forward to seeing pix of the car soon; good luck.  I'm sure Meg will do just fine.   

 

Hopefully life will slow down enough for you to visit more often.  Please keep us informed.  Biff

Thanks for keeping in touch, always good to hear from you, Dave.

We are all hoping Debbie makes a full recovery real soon. We know these have been difficult times. And we know good things are in your future.

 

Can't wait to see that bright RED Vette on the road. Best of luck with that part of the project.

 

I'll be seein' you this year when Dave & I go to our annual OHIO vacation.  Maybe we can round up some C3VR folks and party like we did last year.....YEEEEEEE..........HAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!
