Actually I DO have some today. Probably it's just knowing I'm off until Monday (Unless you count working on the midterm and prepping Monday's lecture ).
Are you playing your piano, Sam? I just wondered because that's one thing I remember: CJ stopped playing his guitar after "it all came out". I missed it.
If it makes you feel good, I hope you are. I just did my first drawing in over a year and it felt really good to express myself in a nonverbal way. We do enough of that, right?
I had my meeting with the dean today. He wrote an embarassingly glowing letter of nomination for the "Distinguished Instructor" award. Highest award at the University. Only one winner per year.
I was pleased of course (he's a really nice guy, very down to earth and supportive), but at the same time my old anxieties were flickering under the surface: "You're a fraud! Some day they'll find you out!" Arggg!
No worries, it was just a passing thing. I'm mostly excited.
I'm simmering my zuchinni, red pepper tomato sauce as I type (with a cat on my lap), sipping some well-deserved vino.
CJ deposited his severence check (a tidy sum) into the savings account that I opened under my own name back in December. I didn't ask him to do that, suggested another joint account or something, but it's done. Now that it is, I realize that it is a gesture of faith and I'll take it as such!
