I’ve logged in here a few times but have then stared blankly at the window w/o knowing what to say (or where to begin). There’s a lot going on in my life right now, but most of it isn’t worth discussing here. I’m working hard to make sure the group of students I’ll have on campus next week has a good time and learns a lot. Teaching is the easy part for me. It’s all this preparation (to make sure the instructors I’ve hired get paid and that everyone has food to eat) that’s the hard part. I’ll likely be doing that into the evening and all day Sunday. I’d also be doing it all day Saturday, but Nancy has a show in Conway.
The vet is putting a heart monitor on my dog, Josie, today. It will record heart information (EKG-style) for a 24-hour period, so they can figure out what’s going on with her. We hope for the best, of course, though it’s hard not to fear the worst.
