wind and work
Spring is here with warm tornado like winds. I am not so much for the wind but I am enjoying the 60 degree temperatures. Of course most of the students have spring fever so my attendance levels aren't great. I was particularly perturbed on Monday, which was a beautiful day that I could have spent riding around in a convertible, dealing with people who were absent because they were playing golf. This happened in all three classes.
The semester is all over but the shouting and I need to keep my Broadcast J people in line and working. I am not sure how all this will turn out. My speech people are doing as expected. The Mass Comm folks continue to politely listen to me and are working on their projects. The Video folks should make it if they work hard next week during their class time.
We won some Golden Leafs.....three awards out of eight entries. I should be happy about this but I am disappointed I didn't spend more of my spring break working on getting some entries together from the spring 07 semester. I have to be gentle with myself because my students and I didn't have the fall to work on things.
Other than that I am tired from traveling around on weekends. I am behind on the laundry. My computer has a virus I can't get rid of. The usual deritus of life. I am trying to walk every day..... hoping to build up to some actual working out by the time I am done with school. I climb the stairs as often as I can during the day which leaves me breathless but I feel like it might be helping.
There are things I need to write, papers I need to grade and laundry I need to fold. There are also things I need to think about. Big and little things.
I need to think about that my ortho neuro doc said that I have graduated from his service and I need to move onto the migraine guy. That's good news for my back injury but I am still puzzled by the pain in my hip. It might always be there. I wonder how I will deal with that being a forever kind of pain. He also liked my hair.
I need to graduate from the onocology service. That's a four year process....it's hard to believe I am almost at one year...in July.
I feel pretty good most days but some days I am in pain. Saturday I almost in tears because I tripped on something and then I hurt my hip getting into a tub. I am so clumsy.
There are things I want, there are things I need, there are some things I need to let go. Too many things.
I have to make sure that I don't work this summer so I can address all of the things and get healthy. The time to be happy is now. Be healthy is part of that. Being healthy means not working and worrying.
Oh well...time to stop my very random ramble. I need to fold some laundry and go to sleep.
