1/24: dolphins
...in the art we looked at in Myth class today. Two of the images were ones I found and used for the first time last year. I like them a lot, and I was excited when I remembered them for this year. The students did a really nice job of talking about them too.
1/23: a childhood food
...for dinner: crepes topped with (or rolled up with) applesauce, sausage, and maple syrup. My mother would make this as a special brunch, and I love it. I used to make it more frequently but fell out of the habit when our grocery store stopped carrying "tubes" (for lack of a better word) of vegetarian ground sausage. When I recently spotted it back in the store again--after years--I picked some up. I made crepes yesterday, and we had the special brunch for dinner. There were leftovers, so we were able to have it for dinner again today.
1/22: hemming
...a pair of pants for tomorrow. A sweet, small activity. And I'm still using the sewing machine that my parents gave me when I graduated from high school in 1986!
1/20: a better day
...after a tough evening of work and too-short night of sleep. I'm glad to end the work-week on a calmer and more positive note than seemed likely yesterday.
1/19: walking in the sun
...around campus with a colleague as we talked about offering some found poetry workshops this semester.
1/18: a little bit of a breather
...this evening, after 3 packed days. It gave me time to read some Heron Tree poetry submissions, write a few notes to go in the mail tomorrow, and--yes--finish cleaning my bathroom.
1/17: receiving
...a loaf of sweet bread from El Salvador. My colleague and friend visited her parents there over winter break, and her mother sent it back with her to give to me. It is so good and was such a fantastic treat to have as dessert after a long day at school and before some hours of evening work. I'm already looking forward to having some for breakfast tomorrow.
