Long hiatus
Hello, all!
I haven't posted in a long while. Not really in the mind space to post a lot of catch up just now, maybe later this week, I am using LJ a lot less these days, preferring the quick fix of Facebook I guess, but will try to come back, as some of my friends here post some intriguing stuff...
Quick stuff:
I got a teaching job for the fall. Two sections of composition, teaching for the inner city location of a local community college. It'll be very different from teaching media studies to rich spoiled white kids, which is what I've been doing for the last decade. It's not my ideal thing but I need a job badly so I'm happy to get it.
I made peach jam and apricot preserves this week; first time ever!
It's been very humid for days and days, though the heat is finally letting up. Between all the rain and then this heat my exercise regimen has slacked off a lot. Still trying to walk every day.
Going to Boston for some doctor's appts. later this week. I am having a polyp removed from my uterus (I think, unless they decide to reschedule the procedure after the exam), and hope it will turn out to not be malignant. healing thoughts welcome. Also having some urology tests done for a weird pain I've had a couple of times in recent months; no symptoms now but I figure I should get checked out anyway since it's hard to schedule an appointment with docs in Boston when you live in Albany.
That's about it for now, I guess. More soon.
