Ninety : Ten

Hello from Day 2 of my FALL BREAK!

My goal for today (and for the days leading up to Thanksgiving) is to maintain a daily ratio of 90:10. The ninety, unfortunately, is the work. The ten is play (read: daily 3-hr nap).

So far so good. I woke up - and got up - at 5:30 this morning, which is sick, I know. But! I got a lot of grading done! My daily goal is to grade 10 papers for my own class, and 20 for the extra job. That may not sound like a lot, but trust me, it is. If I do this for the next few days, I should finish by Thanksgiving. Otherwise, it's all reading and researching and writing and lesson planning for the last week of classes.

And doing laundry. Like, 12 loads. Lucy gets all curious about the whole process, but refuses to help fold anything.

Also, she has cankles.

Today's 10% of fun included bonding with the Russkie. Chicken cream cheese chili and fresh bread for dinner, then hours of convo. Fall break should happen every week.

Make up is not a thing for me this week. Watch as my eyes and lips gradually disappear.

Starting tomorrow - and hopefully continuing until sometime in about late February when next semester drags me down - the exercise becomes a daily routine again. Time to knock off the next 10. But more about that after the chili left overs are gone...
