Tuesday, March 3 and Wednesday, March 4, 2026

On Tuesday, Nanaw offered Chase the new kind of protein bars Mama bought for his breakfast but he didn't want to try them yet -- he wanted his regular ones. Nanaw reminded Chase that his chapter 6 Hobbit worksheet was due on Tuesday and that he should bring home his science study material for the science terms quiz on Wednesday. After school, Chase had his healthy snack of the Premier protein drink, grapes and strawberries, cashews and pumpkin and sunflower seeds. He requested Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream and root beer after his healthy snack. For homework, in addition to studying for the science quiz,  he had an English worksheet and for history he had to work on an Iran slideshow. The teacher had switched from the regular history assignment to an Iran assignment because of the military attacks going on there. Chase and Nanaw went into his room and went over the list of disease-related terms several times. On Wednesday morning, they went over the terms again twice, and Chase seemed to know them. When Nanaw picked him up, he said he thought he only missed two of them but when they checked Facts they saw that he got 28 out of 28 so he didn't miss any. So that was super. But he ended up with math troubles. His grade has gone down to a 90 from a 98 because he missed several assignments from when he was sick. He said he didn't receive the assignments and the teacher said it was his responsibility to find them out for himself. He had big red missing announcements on Facts. This is a real shame because he had been doing an excellent job in math before this happened.

Saturday, February 28, Sunday March 1, and Monday, March 2, 2026

Chase had an exciting adventure on Saturday. His friend Tucker invited him for a sleepover. Chase met Tucker years ago when they played baseball together in Columbia. They met up again, and Tucker spent last Halloween with Chase and the crew trick or treating and having a sleepover. On Saturday, Chase went to Tucker's house around 3 p.m. in the afternoon and stayed till Sunday around noon when Mama picked him up. Chase and Tucker had pizza for dinner and played a lot of computer games together. They stayed up till 4:30 a.m. or 5 a.m. so they didn't get much sleep but had a lot of fun. Saturday was the night of the dinner auction, and Chase usually stays at Nanaw's house while Mama and Daddy go to the dinner auction. Nanaw was fine with Tucker's invitation to Chase because she knew how much fun he'd have. Chase was supposed to have another sleepover with the crew at Cole's house on Sunday but that didn't work out. So Mama said Chase could have a sleepover at Nanaw's, which made Nanaw extremely happy. Mama brought Chase and all his guys over to Nanaw's house about 4:30 on Sunday evening. Chase wanted Sonic for dinner so Nanaw went to get it and discovered that Sonic's electricity was out so she came back home to see what Chase wanted for dinner. They settled on Domino's pizza and stuffed cheesy bread, and Nanaw went to pick it up, which was an adventure for her because she'd never done that before. Chase loved the pizza and cheesy bread and said it was the best he'd ever had. They watched TV in the living room and in Chase's room and didn't go to bed until midnight. In the middle of the evening, Chase had a snack of pizza and cheesy bread that Nanaw heated up in the toaster oven. Chase slept till 8:30 on Monday morning, very late for him. During the day, they had two sessions for homework and AR reading, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Chase did lots of AR reading and did his vocabulary packet and the chapter 6 Hobbit worksheet. Nanaw was very proud of him and how well he did. For lunch, Chase did a very innovative thing he'd heard about on YouTube. He put a glass of water in the microwave with the pizza and cheesy bread to heat them up and make it like they were fresh again, and it worked! Nanaw needs to remember to tell Mama about it. He told Nanaw what a great sleepover it had been, which made Nanaw very happy.
