four things for Friday
Oct. 1st, 2021 05:54 pm1. I am on my lonesome. I cannot remember the last time I spent a weekend alone. I think it has been literal years. Josh has gone on vacation without me, and I've gone to my parents without him, but I've always had the kids with me. Feels weird, man. LOL
Josh and Fiona have gone up to Atlanta to hang with our friends and see Emma. I decided to stay here because while I've been feeling better, not so intensely in the throes of a flare, I can't afford to wear myself out and spend all next week recovering from a trip this weekend. Next week is particularly busy. I have writing conferences with all my comp students; each student gets fifteen minutes of my time to talk about their essay plus teaching my classes plus I am giving a conference presentation. So it's going to be non-stop action all week. When I am not having a flare up, conference week is grueling. So I am conserving my energy.
Still a little :(
But also going to be nice to be alone for a couple days, I think.
2. I just started reading a junior colleague's recently published book and was delighted to find myself thanked in the acknowledgements. I did not expect that at all. I really like/admire this colleague and am very honored that she considers me a mentor.
3. I got a postcard of an awesome mermaid from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

4. Since I've got all weekend to myself, I need some shitposting ideas. What should I post about tomorrow? Is there anything you're all dying for me to weigh in on? LOL
