4/16: talking
...with a friend on the phone while I was taking my walk this afternoon: it had been months since we'd spoken! It was so good to hear her voice, share thoughts, and laugh.
4/14: being grateful
...that we get to talk about a picturebook in one of my classes tomorrow. I put together the slides of each spread this evening, and I'll enjoy taking notes on the pages as I finish my prep in the morning.
4/13: making good use
...of some cancelled meetings with students (they cancelled, not me): I graded papers instead and got all caught up on paper-grading. That will change next week when more come in, but it feels great for now (and rare for me at this point in the semester).
4/12: finally knowing
...where Simon the Cat goes when we can't find him. Chris noticed it on Sunday evening, and this evening Simon was there again, curled up in a little cat cubby tucked into a corner at the end of the hall. It's been a mystery for months, yet he's been hiding in plain sight. We just never looked there because the cats never seemed to take an interest in it.
4/10: writing
...an honest email about an uncomfortable situation. Now it's off my mind before I go to bed. I had worried that, if I didn't respond, worrying about it would keep me up for most of the night.
4/9: foregoing
...my usual Saturday practices of an hour-long walk (or kayaking time on the lake) and non-school activities. Usually that wouldn't be a good thing, but today I needed to catch up on work, and I feel more relaxed now that I have.
