1. Please join us at
journalsandplanners for talk about . . . journals and planners. LOL And all things stationery related. I just made a post to kick off activity, but feel free to make your own top-level posts. I'd love to see that comm get active again.
2. I got elected chair of Faculty Senate for next academic year. My plans for world domination continue apace.
3. I am clearly an outlier, but I really enjoy doing annual evaluations. I get to the end of mine, and I'm all, "I'm awesome. Look at all this amazing shit I did this year and recognize!" I have never had a problem tooting my own horn (which is perhaps its own kind of problem LOL).
4. Sammy wants to get in the fireplace, so that's A Project for today.
5. I put on my big girl panties and bought my plane ticket for SWPACA, a regional academic conference held in Albuquerque at the end of this month. I am crossing my fingers that I can get most of that + the conference registration reimbursed by my institution.
6. When Josh was at the grocery store yesterday, an employee suddenly started screaming and trying to cut himself with a box cutter in the middle of produce. It was very upsetting. I'm glad everyone in the store ended up okay, including the employee (or least not shot by police or a "good guy" with a gun), but Josh was really shaken up.

Then we must twine the little mesh thing together in the front with wire which will be easy, but he can still nose around the side, so Josh has to figure out how to close that off; it involves metal dowels.
It's a gas fireplace, with a remote control, so we only have to get in there once every couple of years to replace a battery, so closing it off is fine. It just always has a pilot light on, so I don't want him fooling around in there.
Or pulling out the decorative rocks. Which he has done already. LOL
