First the rain, then the humidity, then the mosquitos...oh yeah

More rain and cold but sometime spring is like that, isn't it.

Class went ok last night. I covered some material and they took a test on Excel. It took one of the students 2 1/2 hours to create 2 spreadsheets. Most of them took anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half but there is always one in a group isn't there.

The tough part about doing these classes is the level of knowledge ranges so much. I have to give enough time for tests for the slowest student so the ones that know the material well, really get out early and have it pretty easy. Such is life I guess.

Jess' car needed some repairs so we took it to the shop. To get everything fixed......(Drum roll please).....$1,600!!!!

To get the essentials done, which is what I am doing....$600.

It is to the point that it may be better to look at another vehicle. If I did that, I would probably buy a truck and let just use my car. I will have to watch and see if there is a good deal on a truck over the next year. I can wait.

It was a little busier in the office yesterday than what I would have liked. I am not sure why there were so many people around but it was a bit busy. I am hoping today is quiet. It is spring break, for crying out loud!

Jess have volleyball practice tonight but there isn't much else going on until the weekend. Saturday she has a volleyball tournament at Drake University. It is Saturday and Sunday. I probably won't get to see any of it Saturday because I teach but will be there on Sunday.

Trash day today. You know who I feel about that.

Off to start.
