the_rckScott has to work late tonight. This means Cordelia will be fixing dinner for me and for herself. We have leftover turkey and green beans, so it's just a matter of putting stuff on plates and microwaving it. I suspect, though, that I'm going to have to offer a lot of verbal reassurance that she's doing it right.
I have just emailed Cordelia's teachers. Next Tuesday evening, from 5:00 to 7:00, the school is having another Expo. That means presentations in the classrooms and standing for two hours. The sixth grade classrooms are on the second floor, and there's no way I can manage either the stairs or the prolonged standing. The building must have an elevator somewhere (though I've no idea where), so maybe they can get me and my broken foot upstairs. I don't know. Given that the thing starts at 5:00, there's no guarantee that Scott will be available to take Cordelia to Expo. It's just barely possible that he could be home and showered by 5:00, but that's not the way to bet.
Last Expo, they didn't allow any kids to be present without a parent, so this may mean that Cordelia can't go which would be a great pity. I think she's perfectly capable of going on her own and behaving well. I suppose I can see why the school would make that a blanket policy. Kids do tend to want to run wild when there are that many other kids around, and most of the kids are younger than Cordelia is (the school is K-6 this year).
At any rate, I'm hoping they can make an exception to the only attend with parents thing for Cordelia, just in case Scott can't get home in time. Expo is a really big deal for the whole school, and I know Cordelia and her group have worked hard on their project.
I am finding that using the walker is awkward, at least in the house. Part of it is that I'm not always sure when to bear down on the walker. I suppose I'll eventually get that coordinated. If putting weight on my bad foot hurt more, I'd probably have an easier time of it.
Time to summon Cordelia to move my laptop and table so that the cleaning lady has access to the living room.
