It's been threatening rain all day today. I think I don't care anymore. I'm going to go take a nap in the hammock. It there much better than that? Oh, yeah I'm taking a book and a beer with me. How 'bout now? Anything better? I wish I had one more day this weekend. It never seems like enough time to really get relaxed before... Read More
Ahhh, a holiday weekend. A glorious chance to to unwind the tension... except that I still have work to be doing all weekend. Even with the work I need to be doing, I've managed to watch two movies, go to a friend's art opening at a gallery a few towns over, mow the yard, put up and fall asleep in the hammock, and eat too...

Well, I cannot deny that I would like to go down in history for something amazing and legendary, but if I can just produce some creative work that I'm proud of and live my life the way I want to - then I'll settle for that.
I forgot to turn on my alarm clock last night before going to bed around midnight. No big deal. I noticed it hadn't been turned on when I woke up at 3:00am for no reason. I turned it on but didn't go back to sleep. Then I worked a 14 hour day. Why am I awake right now?
It's bee a working weekend which isn't the best. But at least I'm in a decent mood about it. There are just so many other things that I'm interested in doing today. I think I'm going to take a break to see a few of my friends row at the regatta around noonish or one. It's supposed to be a good day and the regatta... Read More

The Gratitudes for the Day:
1) The fact that people wanted to see the silly poem. It's purpose is just as a faculty submission or high school literary magazine.
So tired right about now. I have approximately three and a half tons of work to do, give or take a few pounds. and I also have a dinner to go tonight with people I have never met before. I guess I'll just have to be forgiven for being distracted and not all that interested in talking. But in another few weeks things should clear... Read More
Yesterday was the big Rebuilding Together program. Pretty good turnout. There were 24 houses that had work done and a really big crew at each place. I was a little disappointed this year. The home-owner and two of her kids were there and they were so great, but because of the amount of stuff and the severity of the stuff that needed to get done,... Read More
Thanks for your two cents, I really appreciate it. I'm not making judgments but I have it on what I think is good authority that he is not only a pot head but a tweaker, which maybe has something to say for his behavior? Who knows, but I think the main thing is I need to face it that not everyone is going to like me in the work place....and that's a given, but I guess I just wish that even if he had a problem with me that he'd show me the respect I think I deserve.
Three gratitudes of the day:
1) Bi Bim Bap for dinner
2) A professional reason to make a mix cd: another teacher needs a blues collection for a class she is teaching.
3) Keri was flattered and touched by my use of her positive focus and her list of gratitudes.
It's only Tuesday and I'm already sleep deprived ad behind at work. How will I make it to Friday?
But on another note, I've been thinking a lot lately about the blogs that I've been reading on here lately and there seems to be a common them in many of them. People who are not only wrapped up in negativity, but also people who are... Read More
Finally some sunshine and warmth. My leaky jeep is drying out. My house is airing out with all the windows open for the first time since we moved in. The squirrels are playing in the yard. I finally was able to fix my printer so that it works again. I had a killer massage yesterday. All in all, it is a good day.
