More Clouds

We just do not have good luck with telescope events! 

Yesterday I took a very excited Timmy to his 'learn to use a telescope' class in the fields of Maryland. His Nana bought him an amazing telescope for Christmas. Although we have figured out how to use most of the features, we were both looking forward to honing it down with a professional. Unfortunately, telescopes are weather dependent and yesterday we had heavy cloud cover.

The instructor who met us in the field was so nice as he stopped us from setting up the telescope. Class was cancelled due to cloud cover. Please try again later. Talk about disappointing!

New Leg Time?

 This weekend was spent toiling around the house with an ill-fitting socket, trying to get settled while ignoring the obvious signs that I need a new leg. Ugh! A new leg in a new state. Do I start all over or do I make the trip back to Northern Virginia to my previous prosthetist? I have no idea what to do because I'm not terribly keen on either idea.

In the meantime, I am developing a significant callous on the side of my limb. It isn't painful but it's growth is obvious. I know that I will be more comfortable when I get a new leg because I have lost so much weight this one no longer fits. 

I suppose I'll spend the day researching prosthetists in the area and trying to make a decision about my next steps.  Wish me luck!
