4/24: some grading
...this afternoon went more quickly than I thought it would. I'm feeling very under-the-weather, so this was an especially welcome thing.
4/23: the particular orange
...of California poppies. Chris planted some in a large (large!) flowerpot, and several of them are blooming.
4/22: sharing
...a student's excitement at how the novel we're reading in class--Never Look Back by Lilliam Rivera--uses both Spanish and English.
4/21: filling a tote bag
...with little bags of potato chips at the campus snack bar. I'm trying to use up the "dining dollars" that are part of my compensation. I called Chris (who was working from home today) to tell him that I just bought 24 bags of chips, and he laughed.
4/20: good news
...about a student's receiving summer funding for a project I'll be supervising. I commented on many drafts of the proposal, and I'm glad that that work (on both our parts) yielded results.
4/19: good numbers
...in Tilde the Cat's bloodwork today. We had to start feeding her special food to keep her glucose down, and even though she's only been on it for awhile, it is working. Hurray! And I'm grateful to Chris for taking her to the vet to get her on a good track.
4/17: dogwoods and birdsong
We visited the dogwoods in our woods this afternoon, and then I went on my walk along the ridge, where I was appreciative of the birds' singing. When I was talking with my friend on the phone during my walk yesterday, she could hear the birds and said how nice that was (she's in Indiana, where it's still wintry), and that made me more aware of them today.
