Sunday PS playing
I sat down at the computer to check email, then explored a craft site, then opened some raw scans in PhotoShop and decided to play a bit. I really have to get to my “to do” list since this is my last day off of our furlough week, but hey, sidetracks happen.

It has been a lovely week – did some artmaking, some house cleaning, two museums, and a short escape up the mountain for our anniversary. I even graded several stacks of school work, including an essay exam for the art history class. Very productive, which always makes me happy. Now I have to go back to the grind, with plans and lessons ready, and know that the following week I’ll be doing two jobs: teaching AND learning, as I start my Master’s Degree program at night. Gotta say, I’m very anxious about that double load and hoping I don’t turn into a short-tempered ogre instead of coping gracefully with my own chosen path.

The fear of overload is complicated by what – in normal circumstances – would be the pure joy of anticipation. We have 4 wavesof family/house-guests arriving at Chez Mercer in the next 4 months!! So here’s hoping I can keep my sanity and enjoy the company fully, live in the moment, and not PANIC! Breath in, breath out….
