That is, done except for swimming lessons, which I count for PE.  I have to keep reminding myself that it is really done.  It feels strange not to have to think of lesson plans for next week--strange to think that I can wake up and not have to push the lesson schedule--strange that I can work on summer projects without feeling like we should be doing school lessons.

Grandma and Grandpa are coming next week for quite a long visit.  We are looking forward to it very much, and I am sure their visit will help to get us in summer mode.

On the feet front:  Seems that much of my problems are due to too tight calf muscles.  I can hardly imagine that I could have avoided much of my pain simply by doing calf stretches on a regular basis!  The plus side of all that is that I seem to have improved a lot this week.  After going back to ice and antiinflammatories regularly for a few days, and using some heel cushions that the chiropodist made for me, I am feeling much better--not completely better, but then this didn't happen overnight, so I guess I can't expect immediate recovery.  Also I seem to have another problem that we will work on correcting over time, and that is that my feet roll to the outside when I walk.

The other thing I did this week, (which has caused much pain to the pocketbook) is go shoe-shopping.  I have discovered to my great disgust that all the shoe brands recommended to me, by various people in the know about good shoes, only make up to a medium width.  Granted, most women are a medium width (B), but what about poor me, who happens to be a D width?  I was able to find VERY good supportive sandals, and my feet are VERY happy in them--however they were priced like gold, so the rest of me is not very happy at that.  Fortunately they are good walking sandals, and will have to do for everyday and Sunday shoes for some time to come!

Guess that's the scoop for this week.  On to the list of summer projects next week....
