My defense is over, and it went fine.\u00a0 A few suggestions and some literature to examine, but I’m ready to start my research.\u00a0 Step one is the human subject paperwork.\u00a0 But, I’m giving myself a day or two off before tackling that.\u00a0 Next week is spring break for WM so I’ll have plenty of time.<\/p>\n
Last night, I boxed up the last of the winter decorations and they are now waiting in the hall to go up to the attic.\u00a0 Now the dust really shows!\u00a0 But my guests aren’t coming until Friday so I may wait until Thursday to dust.\u00a0 There’s plenty of other work to do around the house, including piles of laundry.\u00a0 And, of course, taxes.\u00a0 I’m going to install Turbotax and dive in.\u00a0 Everything is mostly organized so it’s generally data entry for now.<\/p>\n
Part of the reason I stopped the morning pages was that they became all about my weight and my pathetic attempts at dieting.\u00a0 But, at least when I wrote about it, I thought about it.\u00a0 The past two days have been very bad in the food department…cheese, chocolate, wine.\u00a0 So, it’s March 1 and I’m back on the wagon.\u00a0 I figured out my online weight watchers login and will start using it again.\u00a0 I started before VSTE but then had to give it up during the conference.<\/p>\n
Bob rearranged the bird feeders and now the squirrels can get on the sunflower feeder.\u00a0 He is hanging by his back feet and eating away.\u00a0 Yesterday, I scared him and he landed in the pond.\u00a0 For now, I’m letting him eat but in a minute I’ll open the window.\u00a0 I’ve got the video camera set up and I washed the window so I can get some video of the different birds arriving to eat Bob’s\u00a0 peanut butter suet.<\/p>\n
Here’s the best news: with the exception of a meeting next Thursday, I am home and on vacation!\u00a0 I’m going to digitize record albums, watch The West Wing reruns, and just enjoy being home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
