The Grueling Summer Schedule

So, the ole summer work schedule is soon coming to an end. And I've been given projects that simply can't be done during my whopping 10 hours a week, so I've had to take work home with me. Might I say that I miss the days of working way less and making way more? Because I do so miss those days. Kind of.

This is what Lucy does while I work. Yes, she is this grumpy all the time.

Also? I'm really sick of all the crap associated with selling our house. I'm tired of talking to our realtor. I'm tired of negotiating and renegotiating terms. I'm tired of circling around the drain of our savings account while we pay endlessly on a house we soon (hopefully!) won't even own anymore.

But! I'm up to my old habits of procrastinating on one thing by working on another! So the good news is that my syllabus is coming along swimmingly, as are some very refined lessons and writing assignments.

I've also made a command decision for the fall semester - or at least until it starts to snow. I'm going to ride my bike to campus a couple of times a week. My quads have finally adjusted to the workout and I want to (1) work in some work outs (<-- see what I did there?), and (2) save on gas, mileage, and parking fees. This will mean looking less than perfect for some classes, but it beez what it beez.

I can't always look like a super model. Let's be real.

The riding is exhausting, but overall it's going well! I've been caught in the rain twice (luckily, on my way home). The water helps wash down the bugs that inevitably fly into my mouth. But, on the other hand, it brings out the snakes. Pros and cons.

OK, this work isn't gonna do itself. Get used to my whining again, peeps, because it's about to start up in earnest. I'll pay you $1,000 to buy my house.
