Day #5882 – (Thu., Feb. 12, 2026) – Valentine’s Gifts!

Katie is still home sick but Bobby went to school today.

I had a 9 am appointment for a brace fitting. They gave me a pretty cool and secure brace with a little pump and air pocket to help protect my inner left leg MCL. It cost $399, but we’re hoping that insurance will cover a lot of it. I need to get a doctor’s prescription for it and since he encouraged it yesterday I don’t think there will be a problem.

I picked up Bobby after school today. He told me that Asher, one of the boys who sits next to him, punched him in the arm. It left a bruise and he talked to his teacher about it and asked for a seat change. My wife took Asher and other boys to curling the other day and he made another boy cry. We’re going to keep on this to ensure justice is served. These types of boys grow up to be the type of people who are causing all kinds of problems in the US these days…

Bobby spent quite a bit of time this evening organizing his St. Valentine’s Day gifts (see photo to the right), which he will be giving out on Valentine’s Day, which is tomorrow! You can see the assortment in the photo to the right. He tried his best to remember the 24 names of his classmates but had to ask Esca and Isaac for the 3 her forgot.

Soulina’s father was in an altercation with some Vanier students today!

Katie worked on math a lot today. It is her most challenging subject this semester.

My wife went to Vanier tonight for a course selection meeting and learned a few things for Katie.
