9/30: the effects and benefits of humor
...beyond funniness in Riordan's modifications of ancient sources in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This was our opening topic in class today, and the board was filled with the students' thoughts.
9/28: calmly
...doing things today. I took a walk for the first time in 2 weeks; I made my favorite fried-rice lunch and drank a gin & tonic with it; I worked on a pamphlet. Even my evening schoolwork felt relaxing. Such a difference from the past week.
9/27: a hug and a card
...from someone at work today when a new round of technological trouble became the last straw.
9/26: a good workshop
...with students and Chris, using a basic origami fold, some colored paper, and words clipped from ancient epics. It went more smoothly than some other workshops I've run (I guess I'm learning how to avoid glitches), and more people than ever attended.
9/25: Phineas is diagnosed
...with pneumonia. The illness isn't a good thing, but having a diagnosis--and medicine from the vet--is. I am so grateful to Chris for taking him to the vet, and it was heartening to see how much just one dose of medicine perked Phin up. Hopefully after a week of doses our sweet orange cat will be back to his self again.
9/24: Phineas is eating
...a little more food today than yesterday. Chris will drop him off at the vet tomorrow for a look-over, which will be good. This evening it was encouraging to see him come for the night round of dry food: even though he didn't eat much of it, his internal clock and habits kicked in.
9/23: some reassurance
...from an email. I had been sick at heart about a mistake I made on Saturday, and a note about it today made me feel a bit better.
