Mostly just a Thursday

I don’t know how you spent your Valentine’s Day, but I went the traditional route: visiting a campus with my boss and talking to instructors about the courses they teach and the textbooks they use. I’m just a hopeless romantic that way.

I mean, sure, the school is located at the corner of Valentines Lane, and one of the professors actually has his office in the same place my sister had her wedding reception. But I’m not sure I’d call it a very Valentines-y day.

I did get to sleep a little bit late, since the school’s only about fifteen minutes from my front door. And that’s always quite lovely. Mostly, though, it was just a Thursday.

The leap home

I wish I could say the last couple of days have been a whirlwind of excitement and that’s why I haven’t posted here. But unless you count a handful of Quantum Leap episodes as excitement — and it’s still a good show, but I wouldn’t go that far — that really won’t hold up under close examination. Thanks to the snow, I didn’t even go to my weekly writing group. Which is a shame, because aside from the morning pages I haven’t been doing any writing at all. And today, I didn’t even remember to do the morning pages until 2:30 in the afternoon.

Mostly, I’ve been going to work in the morning, watching over the dog, getting woken up several times in the middle of the night by the dog, and going to bed earlier than usual just so getting woken up by the dog won’t lose me the decent night’s sleep I need to go to work in the morning.

Plus some Quantum Leap. It holds up surprisingly well.
