10/8: finishing
...Rick Riordan's latest Percy Jackson novel. It was like spending time with old friends. And there is something sweetly wise about the book.
10/7: two things
Chris and I saved a bird. It was stunned and having a very hard time on the road (unable to right itself and wriggling on its back). We brought it home in a box then put it in a safe place so that it could (hopefully) recover without the danger of being run over. Later in the day it seemed to have flown off.
I booked a flight and hotel for a trip in December (my first since January 2020!), and then my mother called and we made more plans for the trip.
10/6: stopping
...at the lake this morning to take a few photos in the wonderful autumn light. It's something I used to do all the time, but it may be a year since the last time I stopped at the pier on my way to work.
10/4: receiving
...a copy of Myth Match. A few days ago I was thinking, "Surely someone must have done an exquisite-corpse-like picturebook with mythological creatures," and after some Google searching I found Myth Match. Of course, I ordered it right away, and it arrived today. It's pleasing to the hand and eye, and I especially like that the words do a mix-and-match thing as well as the images. Nicely constructed.
10/3: getting word
...that the co-curricular found poetry work I do with students received permanent approval to count toward the engaged learning graduation requirement. Now I won't have to do bureaucratic filings on the front end every time I want to offer an opportunity and have it count.
10/1: having the weekend
...to restore my equilibrium after I got thrown for a loop at the end of the work-week on Friday.
