I lingered in bed this morning, listening to the dulcet keys of Herbie Hancock. Plans this weekend for paying bills, feeding orchids, grading papers, running, taking a friend's mom to Brunch, checking in with Ariel about a project we are doing together. (She's doing some paid research for our Design Collaborative, to bolster advocacy for the program!).
It was a rough and tumble week for me in Department Chair land that required me, among other things, to call emergency medical personnel, placate angry students, address a frustrated faculty member's tearful outburst, and later, fight back my own tears in a discussion with my Dean about necessary accreditation reports. After this drama, grading papers actually feels meditative. And checking in with you, restorative.
So What are you folks up to this weekend and week? Heather just posted a comment on a September post below that she built a sidewalk! Wondering how Karen's stairs wainscots are going? Imagining falling Snow in Jackson, Cheerios in Singapore, and Ariel running in fall foliage. Write back if you are able to steal a moment to thrill the blogsteress with merely a post.
Love, Lola, Lolo, Lolly
