9/21: celebrating

 ...my blogiversary with a chocolate mousse pie.  This blog is an adult--18 years old!

9/20: rebounding

...somewhat from my under-the-weather day yesterday.  In addition to some taking-it-easy reading, I walked on the treadmill for a mile and did some baking before I had to turn to schoolwork in the evening.  I was glad that I proofread and submitted curricular forms yesterday evening so that tonight was less crowded.

9/19: coming across

...the work of Beni Montresor online.  I was able to read one of his picturebooks (The Witches of Venice) through archive.org, and I ordered a (rare) copy of a book he illustrated back in the 60s (Sounds of a Summer Night by May Garelick).  I've been under the weather today, so I appreciated the delight of his imagination and aesthetic.

9/18: having a breakthrough

...about how to approach a project I'm supervising.  It came as such a relief.

9/17: quietly prepping

...bookbinding materials before class.

9/16: talking about accents

...in the beginning Greek class. One student came up with a good short-hand way of referring to the scenario when a long penult has to be accented with an acute rather than circumflex because of a long ultima:  they called it "power sharing," which was perfect.

9/15: listening

...to an audiobook this morning while I was getting ready for work.  It was nice to have a kind of company.

9/14: another anthem

...and this time for Monday.  As I was driving home this afternoon I heard The Bangles' "Manic Monday" on the radio.
