Selfish

I wandered around the store for a long time yesterday, picking out all sorts of delish stuff to nosh on while watching The Voice and being all Sunday mellow.
What I didn't buy was cat food, so while I was still feeling full this morning... Daisy acted like she needs to eat every single day or something.
She's so spoiled.

Retail therapy

I just ordered new running shoes. Oh happiness.

Done

I love that feeling of having handed in the final report/paper/teaching portfolio/whatever of the semester.
It's out of your hands.
The typos will stand, the attachments may be out of order, the date may be wrong... whatever.
No more last checks. Couldn't change it if I wanted to.
Out of my hands.
Liberating.

The art of dressing

Again, the surprises that await you when you pack your gym bag the night before and then get dressed in the locker room with no alternatives to what you happened to throw in the bag.
Do two white shirts sufficiently cover a zebra print bra?
The answer is either yes nobody can tell or no but my coworkers are too nice to say anything.
Oh well.

My summer is 10 months long

For the last couple of months I've been using the word summer very freely and frequently, as this magical point in time where tons and tons of work will happen.
Sorta like this:

- Oh yeah, it's definitely something we plan on looking at this summer!
- I actually think the summer would be a great time to really dig deeper into this and look at new ways of structuring our mission..
- Oh for sure! How about we get together this summer and talk about it...?
- So I was thinking this summer, maybe we could work on formulating a plan for this...

And so on and so forth. So considering summer hours officially start next week, and considering that I'll be gone all of July... I should perhaps start looking closer at just how I plan on delivering all this work?
Maybe.

Mushy

I just read the class evaluations from my ESL-students.
My heart melted a little bit.

The calm before the storm

Except I'm not calm.
And I really hope there will be no storm.
At least not tonight.
I keep saying I'm so glad the sun will be shining on our parade, so if it actually starts raining... you know who jinxed it.
About to teach my last ESL seminar of the semester in about an hour. Then the last work-event of the semester is tonight. Then writing that final paper and then.....
This is the countdown, it's winding down.
But right now it's really hectic.
The storm before the calm.
