Nothing Much

Not much going on today.  It was too windy for my one student. So I did secretarial stuff.  I talked to the Cheyenne guy and moved my currency training to Friday, because the weather tomorrow and Thursday looks like crap.  I scheduled PT-26 training with Nick and Dennis for next week.  I got some groceries for Ann, and answered several emails.  We had a couple folks come over and clean the deck and weed Ann's garden, and they did great.  I put off transporting Larry's T-6 to Metro until next week, and everyone agreed.  Caught up my logbook (I'm about 46 hours away from breaking 12,000 hours, which should take a month or less.)  I got another hotel room, one of the last in the area, for the TBM Avenger Gathering event in Illinois next month, this one for my helpers.  I did the dishes and the laundry and straightened up some paperwork.  So...productive, even if not aviating.

Haven't heard from Kaylee today, she was good yesterday, wearing my fuzzy sweatshirt around.  Steve was busy doing Steve things, outside in the yard, returning phone calls, all that good stuff.

One of my long-time SMA kids passed away yesterday.  Her name is Hannah Price, and she was a severe Type 1, and one of the sweetest, most kind young ladies you'll ever have met.  She was a Christian, and was truly a gentle soul. I've known her most of her life, and kept up with her on Facebook.  She was fine, on a group chat with friends one minute, and went completely unresponsive the next.  She had sepsis, apparently, and they couldn't stop it, couldn't save her.  Just boom, she's gone.  The community is wounded, as she and her parents, a nurse and a respiratory therapist, were the founding members of the Amino Acid diet and respiratory protocol that has saved and extended the lives of thousands of children over the years.  That's one little girl who made a difference in this world even though she couldn't move a muscle.  I am...saddened.

Tomorrow I was supposed to do the Cheyenne thing, which isn't happening now, so I have nothing else on the schedule.  I'll see what other productive things I can do. Maybe actually study for the Cheyenne thing, like I need to.  ;)
