Out

I did not go to the Reading Holiday Party. The restaurant was not wheelchair accessible. The weather was very cold so I would not have gone. I spent more time getting ready for Christmas. Sign in to see full entry.

Invisible

I am so excited! I am starting with a new learner on Tuesday. I am helping someone study for her GED. Taking that first step to ask for help is always the most difficult one. I admire her courage.
