I spent the week with my new friend, strep throat. He moved in last Saturday and I didn't know his name until Wednesday, when I was finally able to justify staying home from work and go to the clinic. Obviously in retrospect I should not have worked until I was on antibiotics, but...hey. Whatcha gonna do ( Read more... )

Today was a fairly productive day. I have been reading the Jung-White Letters, which is a published series of letters Carl Jung wrote back and forth with a Catholic priest (Victor White) from 1945-1960. It's taken me a week to get through the entire book because of all the footnotes. There are a lot of people referred to as well as a lot of quotes ( Read more... )

I'm having a moment where I feel hopeless ( Read more... )

I can't really remember everything that's happened since I last posted...Mom came to town and abruptly left (she had a funeral to attend and had to go home a day early), but not before we drank a lot of beer (dressed, of course, with lots of lime and salt), had pedicures, had tortilla soup and margaritas from El Chico, and did a sudoku puzzle ( Read more... )

I have been negligent with my posting lately. I blame the past four days at least on the fact that I have been in Phoenix, and my hotel room was a vacuum for any kind of reception. No phone, no wireless...and when I couldn't even get online via the rip-off $13/day to use the room's network (because my corporate card was rejected and it wouldn't ( Read more... )

A brief update - I have completed one paper proposal, and I believe that I can complete a second...we'll see. At least I have the one ( Read more... )

I've been traveling, responding to more burglaries, and also trying to figure out my APA submittals this year. I think I'm going to write three paper proposals. Oh yeah, and I realized on Saturday that I had just two weeks until the submittals are due (Dec 1) and in between that I have Thanksgiving...and I'm traveling to Phoenix on Nov 30 ( Read more... )
