Back to routine

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Moving a little slow here today after a heavy NyQuil induced sleep. Probably didn't need the help and it's going to take a bit to shake the grogginess. Felt good to sleep through the night and I can breathe this morning which is a good thing. What did we do this week? Amanda had her Circuits exam that she is waiting for results on. Professor said it would only be two questions and ended up being three. Her paperwork for the Co-term application for next year is almost ready and she's been having a good time with friends. I need to get in gear on a package for her as she is missing her green...

Too much hare

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The wonderful cool fall weather keeps soaking in at night and we love having the windows open to sleep. Only problem is when the breeze brings in more than anticipated! Thursday night, after hearing some words in my mind, I peacefully fell to sleep. Whatever the breeze brought in decided to freak out the fire alarm at midnight. Talk about an adrenal spike! Of course, nothing was wrong and once I got it to stop talking, we were able to go back to sleep. It sure made for a long and tired Friday. What did we do this week? Amanda aced her neuroscience exam scoring a 100% and has been pounding the circuits study for...

So much for last week

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's crisp and cool this morning making it difficult to get out from under the covers considering I have been taking advantage of it by sleeping with the windows open. Not a good start when I feel behind. Need to figure out how to relax today. What did we do this week? Everyone seems to be plugging along and taking care of business. Amanda loves her assistant dean. He schedules staff meetings at a decent hour, listens when she has concerns, and communicates well. When you have good people around you, it makes it easy to enjoy the job. First exam of the year was in Cognitive Neuroscience and some professors are much better in...

Learning to slow down

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Thankfully it seems the cooler temperatures at night are here to stay. I do wish they would have helped with sleep this week. Serra has especially been enjoying being able to sleep under her weighted blankets again. Now if I can figure out how to get rid of the cough she's dealt with for the last two days, all would be well. What did we do this week? Amanda has an amazingly quiet group of freshmen this year as she is on duty this weekend, and everything has been calm. The most exciting thing has been the Spider-man movie marathon that has been happening in one of the halls. They started a few weeks back...

Evolution

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Bit of a late start today as my friend Fall has finally arrived. Temperatures are cooling off and look to stay that way. So even though I was awake at 5:30, the covers were super snuggly, and I crashed back out. There was even a couple of days last week that were perfect for stretching out and doing nothing, a rarity in many ways for me. What did we do this week? It sounds like classes are cruising along for Amanda. Finally getting to take courses that are the entire point of your college career is great. Tutoring starts this week, yes, she is again sharing her alphabet math skills to fund her Indian food...
