Catching up on lost sleep from Friday early morning. About 2:30am, I was having a great dream complete with music when I heard the cat getting sick. Unfortunately she was sleeping on the bed with me at the time. She managed to vomit all over the white quilt--so I got up, cleaned it up, put the quilt in the wash, stayed up to move it to the dryer, washed the quilt cover, went back to bed--but couldn't fall asleep until near 4:30. The alarm went off at 4:45am. yawn. It took 3 dryings to dry the quilt--and then I think, the heat unit wasn't working. Blasted! oh well.....the continuing adventures of Shelley the Elf.
Tracked down Ken through his daughter (teacher in Chelsea). He indeed had been seriously ill, at St Joe. Had unexpected intestinal surgery on March 6th and then was in the hospital up until last Tuesday--whew! He is quiet about what all went on, but I am glad he's back in circulation (though propped up in bed at home--Visiting RN and daughters supporting his recovery). Touched base with Mark the Buckeye. He is a walking wounded waiting for GM news. Says he has a job lined up out of state if he gets papers. Said he spends a lot of time NOT talking about GM--doesn't listen to the news, read the print news--just watches sports. Doesn't respond to email, text message--just phone calls now--and heck--
I am learning again what it means to be a friend to yourself first.
Me, I told my Fine Arts boss I wanted out of Humanities, then told Amy my H Department head on Tuesday, then W hunted down my Music Department head at Pioneer and told him I'd like the open position in MT&T IF they get the fte they are hoping for. My H Department wasn't happy with me but immediately started planning my replacement. Kinda felt like--'member you are always replaceable ;-) When all is said in down, did you really want to spend more time at work over real relationships? Exactly why I am hoping to quit.
My hair looks like a wooly mammoth. I tried my new "ala Nicole" head scarf/headband that I purchased with Jeanine--but even though I "played with it" like Jeanine suggested, I still look like a wooly mammoth gone bizerk. I have a hair cut on Tuesday.
Today I'd like to walk in the woods so waving magic wand--will do it! I also have a katrillion errands I "could" do, plus would like to go to the A2 Art Museum reopening (live music for 24 hours, some of my friends performing) need to start planning for the Hawaii trip, and wouldn't mind working in the yard a bit. My recycling has collected such that I probably could make my own park bench now--but I'll run it to the center. Have a road meeting tomorrow then scoot off to buy Dad Zingerman's bread (his favorite) and then on in to Dearborn. Oh--I also have a lecture to prepare (Program Music), another test to write (Romantic Era) and a study guide to prep. What fun!
Spoke with Aunt Emily via email yesterday. She is working hard, wishing hard. Difficult week for all police officer families and then with added family difficulties life can hurt you at times.
Love you all,
