I’m spending the day catching up on little things: washing bathroom rugs, reading a folder full of articles about technical communication (4 down, 3 to go), taking the Prius in for the floor-mat/pedal recall issue, and so on. Watched an amazing thunderstorm this afternoon–glad I took the dogs out this morning. Maybe tonight I can watch “The Blind Side.”

At the end of my 3rd week off, I’m beginning to feel some anxiety about upcoming classes: both summer and fall, which won’t be far behind. I have plenty of trips planned for May/June: Kayenta for Memorial Day, Great Basin with Maggie during the first week of June, Torrey for the 2nd weekend, and Portland with Jake during the third week. So that means I need to bust out a syllabus *before* the kids get out of school, which is in 2 weeks. Eek! This is how time compresses.
