Slicker than snot out there. Bought it once coming back from the Y, probably won't even have a bruise, proving I still fall well.
Got word one of my main college profs is in home hospice, quickly declining.I haven't had any contact with the school in years, but he was an integral part of my college years, and a great teacher. He shepherded us through losing another beloved prof, one of the primary reasons I chose Guilford, the end of my freshman year. It just feels weird.
It just feels weird.
I'm still not entirely over the very sudden death of my major undergrad prof a year after I graduated, and that was 25 years ago. It's hard to overstate what a great teacher can mean to your life.
Just learned he died tonight, as I was replying to another prof.
For me, for this, it isn't really grief. Lots of distance between me & college years. Just the void of another piece of my past gone & no one gets to create any new memories.
Glad your cat is okay, Calli.
I am depressed. No, maybe not depressed. Just, in the doldrums? IDK. It's been nigh impossible to do anything for nearly 2 weeks. I'm bored and restless and exhausted and sleeping way toomuch. Yeah, okay, I'm depressed. I think it's the cold and the lack of sunlight. Tomorrow it's supposed to be almost warm, I should go for a walk or something.
Oy. So, for Christmas every year my parents give us a check. I told my sister I would take her to Mexico with me, and figured I'd basically use that money to do it. So tonight I'm texting with her, going back and forth, and book a place for a week, and buy her plane ticket, and mine. Spend ALL the Money! ...and then I check the mail and find a letter saying "you did mobile deposit on this check but we reversed the deposit because it wasn't a good enough quality image". ACK. So then I had to go run around the house and try to figure out if I still had the check so I could try to re-deposit it! (Luckily I did find it)
Yikes, meara!
I'm sorry, Zen. I hope the weather cooperates, a walk sounds like a good idea. You have reminded me to turn on my Happy Light, so thanks for that.
I've got to go chip at the ice on my sidewalk, but I'm waiting for the sun to do some work. It's kinda bad out there.
Working from home today, so I haven't been outside. But it's very foggy around here -- starting to lift.
It's so warm here! I didn't even wear my heavy coat. By which I mean 34 F. It's going to be a slushfest for the next couple of days.
Am grateful for the yak trax I got last year on sale at REI! Sidewalks are still a mess out there. But even watching the dog slip and slide as we walked her was stressful. Even if she didn't care.
