2/10: work day

It needed to be a work day, no doubt about it.  I managed not to get bitter about that and instead tried to focus on the various tasks, particularly preparing discussion questions for one of my classes tomorrow and getting the next chunk of Hesiod's Theogony ready for the students to translate.  Once immersed, I was content.

Unless I'm forgetting something, I think I'm now done for the evening, with enough time to do the Sunday sweeping and listen to some of The Two Mrs. Abbotts.  I don't like it as much as the first two Miss Buncle books (for one thing, Miss Buncle—who is now one of the Mrs. Abbotts—is not featured enough in it!), but it's diverting enough to count as a treat.

I managed to take some breaks to snap photos throughout the day, and that's always a good thing.  On the drive to the office this afternoon I stopped at the pier and got a new kind of writing-on-water image.
