Working Saturday

I still miss my family, but I'm looking forward to today. I have some minor revisions to make for my paper and then tonight several of us are off to a concert. We'll be taking Sparky, the RV. It should be great fun. And maybe after this weekend I'll be in detox...

Missing my family

I think I get too sad when my family is gone. I miss them. The first couple of days were fun, but now I'm ready for them to come home. I'm having a hard time focusing on school things and I just want them back. They are having a great time, which I guess is a small consolation.

I went to a yoga class this week with a friend from the the med center. Since I've officially turned in my resignation for the med center, I don't know how I'm going to support my new yoga habit. She and I decided that I would work 1 day a month to cover these types of fun things. Perfect for both of us!

I'm teaching in the fall. Online. I have no idea what I have gotten myself into.

Three months

Three months later and where do I stand? I'm happy. honey is happy. Lion is happy. And I'm by myself for a week.

My paper got accepted for publication. My dissertation is moving forward. I'm running again. I've started a yoga class. And I think we've made some plans.

I had such high hopes for a December graduation. But now I don't think it is worth it. In order for me to graduate then I would need to work 80 hours a week over the next sevral months. it doesn't seem worth it. If I want an academic piosition, I might as well stay in school until May and start a job in August 2010. And I want to have another baby. i know it doesn't make sense for us financially. I don't make much as a grad student, and Lion is SAHD. But I want a brister (BRother/siSITER) for Honey. Not 5 or 6 years apart, but now. As it is they will be 3 years apart. I would have thought we would be well on our way to a second by now.

So many things to work out...
