I turned in mid-term grades for my students and their assignment next week is minimal, so I should be able to stay on top of the grading I have. I hope. My other job just gave me a long-term training course to design, and that will keep me busy for a while, which for right now is not stressful.
I still float between cafes and libraries to do my online job and then between sleeping at my apartment during the week and Lisa's (my cousins) on weekends. It is getting kind-of old. I miss cooking and baking. But my roommate who doesn't leave me clean dishes to cook or bake with (or a clean apartment to stay in for that matter) will be gone in two months and I look forward to the return of normalcy.
There's my update.

Update on amaryllis, which is progressing far better than I am at the moment.

Nothing much to post these days. I am again behind in everything I need to do. How do some people do multiple jobs? I am not mentally able to keep up.

But the good news is the amaryllis I thought I had killed just needed a little warmer air. Now look at it. Yay.

I got caught up on my grading last week (which I am promptly procrastinating again), and my life feels so much more managable these days.

I thought I would post a great song by one of my favorite folk duos: In Lieu of Flowers

Well, it's been a while. I don't have to go in today until 11:00 so I thought I would post something hilarious that my friend Jen showed me.

On this website they discuss a new internet series "Portlandia," where they do little skits about indie designers, locavores, those who only eat organic, etc. Here is the link to a website that links to the three video skits. My favorite is the second one about chicken.
