So, I found out yesterday that Tresa’s due date is June 6. Great.

Even though I spent half of yesterday at practicum, and generally felt the weekend went by in a blink, it was SO NICE to have a couple of days off to rest up and relax. I got tons of homework done, got to spend Saturday night out with some of my favorite people listening to …

Plano schools are closed today. February 14. I don’t have kids, but I always know when schools are closed because my pre-highway commute is significantly easier due to a lack of school zone slow-downs. Seriously. Closed on Valentine’s day? What on Earth for?

Last night, Daniel and I went to see “Hitch,” Will Smith’s latest movie. It was really good … very funny, very sweet, very enjoyable. I highly recommend it. Which is something of a leap for me on February 14th (I’ll talk more about this later on), given my general preference against the neat, tidy happy …

I had a good mental health break yesterday afternoon. I took a really hot bubble bath, two Aleves, and a 90-minute nap, between waiting on the heater serviceman and e-mails back and forth with my boss about the thing we’re showing to the chancellor today. Then Daniel and I, compelled by the three ads we …

I don’t know who wrote the third comment, but it certainly made me laugh. Thanks. 🙂

Disappointment and frustration were the hallmarks of my Feb. 9, but I’m determined that Feb. 10 will be a better day. That’s why I’m taking a much-needed (but seldom taken) mental health afternoon off. I’m leaving at noon and I’m not going to do anything productive whatsoever. Knowing those two facts is the only reason …
