The Ol' College Try

Hey, Amanda.

I'm still good. The weather is still reminiscent of San Diego, and although I had to spend today in the classroom, I'm still good, trying to stay relaxed. I don't want to wish away my life, but I am ready for summer vacation (8 weeks to go), and I'm committed to to being less stressed and happier....despite my cankles that persist even today. (When should I worry that I actually have a kidney problem or something serious and not simply post-flight blotation and call the doctor?)

I'm in a workshop the next two days, which sucks ass, as I hear my students say. First day back and rather than really reconnect with my students and get going on DNA, I had to think of what I could leave for them to do for the next two days with a substitute. Oh well. Since tomorrow it's supposed to get over 90, I'll be happy for the air conditioning in the admin building, and both days I'll enjoy dressing casual and not having to be at work until 8. (See? I really am trying to give this mellow thing the college try!)

But, okay, I am totally feeling out of the loop of your life other than you've been crazy busy gardening.

Can't wait to hear from you!
xo,
Barb

PS I'm seeing flights for $300 to Seattle in August...
