Haven't been around her for like a week or so. What's up?
77F is the high with 95RH. 72F right now so it's going to warm up just a bit, then a front will come through taking it down to 38F tonight. That's a heavy (2-3") rain followed by a 39F swing. Winter is back for the next week with highs in the low to mid 70s!!!
Traveled 500 miles round-trip to Miami and back Thursday to take my niece who lives with us (and her mother/my sister) to tour Florida International University. BEAUTIFUL, MAGNIFICANT campus with law school, medical school and a massive, stand-alone department, to which she is already pre-admitted so she will be able to take upper level classes as a freshman instead waiting until she is a sophomore or junior. She will now be certified to provide community psychotherapy for pay (work study) from real patients in a community clinical setting workshop course-after just one year. So we were able to sign her up in first place for that program/class months ahead of time.
Sadly, my sister is clueless and unable to provide any such real assistance to my niece (and anything else in real-life), and I have to pick up the pieces so my niece will get whatever she needs. We just cannot see her, an extraordinarily bright, kind, hard-working, 17 year-old student with such massive potential (1400 SAT/one take/no courses or prep whatsoever-96+th percentile SAT). She already, while in high school, has perfect test scores in AP psychology, biology, chemistry, etc., which she gets full college credit for and to skip completely on her way to medical school,- a tremendous advantage. Cannot just watch that go to waste with out "parenting" her now until August, when she goes off to school
Bottom line, it is the best school for her so far and she is certain now that she wants to go there (which approve of), even though she is still waiting to hear from two more schools. This is costing me a chit-ton of money at the same time my son will be in law school... [ram27bat]
On a lighter note, returning to the pool today to see if my hand/arm can take it and if so, to work-out for the first time in like 10 weeks. Lots of atrophy in the arm that had been splinted for six weeks, Pain doc said that it will not be possible to rebuild it. The hand surgeon said I can make it up. That's a simple, but b.s. dichotomy so I am going for a repeat MRI and to my neurologist for EMG/NCV to see what the real deal is...
Anyhow, things are otherwise going really well and I just needed to take a dump in writing here on Cbid to move on for this weekend. Looking forward to today/tonight's UFC card and the vherf....
