This Saturday we took some teenagers from church (it ended up being 3) to Boston. It was a fun time traveling around the city but somewhat strange to look back on the day and realize we had not necessarily accomplished a lot. I'm still figuring out what sorts of activities work for this youth group and are worth the time/effort of planning. The three pictures are: boston in general, ride on the water taxi, Quincy Market.
There are two other areas of life we're we are woking on resolution: Hillary's knee and our day off. In talking with some different doctors, doing some reading, and thinking about Hillary's symptoms it seem like she has not re-torn her meniscus, but potentially has arthritis. We're still talking over our options and running the details by some various people, but it seems like we won't be headed towards surgery on her knee.
The other matter we're trying to figure out is how to spend my day off. Sundays and part of Saturdays I'm busy doing work type stuff, so I take Thursdays off instead. This works fine overall but it gets complicated when I think about what it means to rest. It is real easy to not stop moving on Thursdays - working in the yard, painting in the house, running errands, and trying to do something fun with Hillary. Sometimes I can wake up on Thursdays, not looking forward to the day. But, if we don't do some of this stuff on Thursdays then there isn't a good chunk of time to do so. I'm not sure about doing the yard work, house projects, and errands on Sunday because that is the Sabbath - even though I "work" doing church type stuff. So far we haven't come up with any clear solutions.
