Between writing his research paper, Mark found some time to study for his ham radio license exam. All local tests were cancelled because of COVID so he did his test online with a club in Maine. He passed with flying colors and was excited to receive his call sign the next day. His sign is: KJ7THG.
I worked for webaim two days this week. I also got my Winter semester BYUI classes all set up. I’m teaching two sections of Parent Education this time. I’m a little nervous to have twice as many students, but it will be good. Two students reached out to me this week which was fun. I’m looking forward to getting to know them all next week!
We didn’t stay up late on New Year’s Eve because I accidentally accepted vipkid bookings on the 1st, but we made up for it by staying up late Friday night! We watched movies and played a few games on New Year’s Eve. We got our favorite salsa from Sam’s club and had taco salad for dinner.
Mark was able to take off New Year’s Day so we played with my bow and Mark’s throwing hatchets. I’ve been lifting weights and practicing pulling the string on my bow every day and I can see a lot of improvement. I still need to fine-tune my aim but I’m having a lot of fun.
This week I also made soup broth for the first time-playing with my instant pot. Early in the week I made Turkey soup and later in the week I made ham bone soup. I can never get enough soup in the winter!
We’re looking forward to 2021. We’ve both made goals to improve our health and have enlisted the help of a friend in our ward who is a health coach. I have a goal to read 21 books this year. I read one book in the first two days of the year so I’m off to a good start!
