Wow. Sorry for the long time between posts. You would think I have been busy writing but I have been busy and sometimes writing. I am not as far along as I wanted to be on this date, but I am working on it. My mentors have been pushing me to write and not procrastinate. For example I have postponed a visit to an orthopedic doctor because even though both knees bother me at times and so does my hip, I can still walk and exercise so adding another doctor to my group is not what I need at this time.
I have also been busy with American Chemical Society business. I gave four African American middle school and high school students' awards last Tuesday. I will post their photos on the website soon. These are the possible future chemists and future readers of my book or website.
I need to schedule two oral histories of two women for my book. They are both in the Washington DC area so that I can do it easily but the problem is scheduling. It seems other 70 year olds are as busy as I am.
I am also still doing some research for the book. For this, I am choosing to sit at home at my computer and let my library send me the documents by interlibrary loan as long as it exists in New Jersey. Our new Governor is cutting budgets one of them being the library budget by 74%!!!!! Penny wise and pound-foolish.
So I am going to write today Saturday, and I hope to get out into the garden later this afternoon. I cannot sit and look at the computer all day; I have to give my eyes a rest!
