I showed up for work at 6:50 this am, after the umpteenth night of way-too-little sleep. *primeval grunt* Morning coffee (and socialization) unavailable at the library, too. I was down and dejected. I needed a hit, bad! Fetched my purse and wandered over to the gourmet coffee vending machine, and there I found ---a vision! He was about 5'10" ( Read more... )

I have been offered a teaching position for three classes in fall, one of which is during the day.

My "Cold Comfort Farm" DVD came in after being on back order for 2 months! Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...

After my last trip to Columbus, I figured I would settle in to a reasonable daily schedule. Work on thesis, exercise, LJ and maybe even some reading and violin playing. HA! I returned home to find my plants were ready to be measured 3 weeks sooner than expected, kicking my thesis into high gear just when I had a pileup of pre-schoolyear and post- ( Read more... )

Walk along some of the Woodward Dream Cruise on the way to the post office yesterday. It was 68, sunny, and not a cloud in the sky. It felt cozy and neighborly to see everyone turning out for their local fair along Woodward. Now that I don't live in the thick of the cruise route, it is an even more enjoyable experience. There were some ( Read more... )
