"I want to live in Effington"
It's been a while, and I can't even think of everything there is to say. I really just need to go to bed, but what the hey.
I went to Charlotte on a business trip. It went well, except the airlines made the trip into Charlotte itself bad. There was the lost luggage left in Chicago, then there was the turbulence as we landed. Ugh. At least the conference was good.
Now I'm settling in to my new position, which involves the same amount of teaching and a new level of administrative work. I just got my cubicle tonight, as opposed to the one I've shared with all the leftover paperwork from another program up until now. Tomorrow, I get to expand a bit more and work on streamlining and forging ahead in the English program.
Tomorrow, I also get a sleep test done. First time for this, mid afternoon, so I go to the doctor, go to sleep, wake up, and leave. And I guess they tell me if I have apnea or anything, which I dread the possibility of, but it's good to know.
Saturday's my birthday. We'll take Zoey to "Breakfast with Santa" at the Boonshoft, which will be fun, and then I'll spend a good part of the rest of the day (and weekend) grading rough drafts.
The computer's going. We can tell from all the glitches that it's not going to last much longer, so I'm trying to burn everything off of here that we need/want/have collected over the last few years, and I still have more to do. It worries me that I may not finish before the computer does, but I think (knock on wood) I'll get there. It's time for a new desktop, and if this one craps out too soon, at least we have Amy's new laptop for now.
I need to spend more time with Zoey. The trip out of town made me miss out on time with her, and the new levels of work haven't helped. I miss her, but she's adapted nicely by preferring Amy. What should I expect?
Gotta get a passport so I can go to the Rust Belt in Toronto next summer.
My current musical love is the new Ben Folds, Way to Normal, for no spectacular reason. I don't even like all of it, but I find certain songs that just keep drawing me back in.
So many other things to say, and I can't think of what they are. More soon, assuming I have time and am not working on salvaging my data.
