Sounds great Menolly!
Rain here has finally stopped,
though it's now gone cold!

sorry to interrupt the limericks or whatever it is that you are doing. :)

right after my brother passed, my best friend's mom passed away. he still lives in our hometown. so I can only send a card and prayers.

they saw we will be having a tropical storm hitting in the next day or two. so I may be out of touch for a bit. if so I will text Jenn and have her update.

prayers welcomed. the flooding has been horrific in Texas this year.

and if all goes well we have a week in Austin next week for Julie's schooling. I will hit museums.

Beautiful day out.
And I am a troglodyte
Indoors doing Masters. (lol)

Spent the day browsing articles for a literature review. Cognitive pluralism, lexical coverage, blah, blah, blah. I mean it actually is interesting and very pertinent to my work, it just takes so long. Stag took Fawn back to the Adirondacks to work at a summer camp so I took the day alone to lay the groundwork for my lit review, which will be on how important it is for kids to have a good vocabulary in order to have reading comprehension which translates to verbal reasoning skills. It's interesting to me, anyway; I love words and this is a high-tone way of justifying foisting fifty-dollar words off onto my unsuspecting 3rd graders!! :)

Well said. It's been a long week.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Thing is, for me it's been a short week. I was off Monday and Tuesday, (Tue was a public holiday, so I took off Mon for a long weekend), so I've only worked Wed and Thurs, while today (Friday, hooray) is a half day.

Dunno why I feel so meh. :D

That gets me down some days!

As for me... I seem to spend my time either:
A. obsessing about crazy ideas of mine I want to make happen, or:
B. in between crazy schemes I want to make happen

Right now, I'm at Option A of those two.

I just never seem to get around to doing anything, even though I don't feel like I'm ever doing anything. :D

Hey! I'm doing something.





I'm procrastinating.

That's doing something, right?

Is it really only Wednesday? My workload is about triple right now, which should theoretically make time go by faster, but this week is dragging.
