The semester at UIC starts this week, and I teach my first classes tomorrow. Have I finished finalizing my syllabus? No. Have I decided which readings I’m going to start them off with tomorrow? Also no. Have I at least decided what cute outfit I’m going to put together for the first day? Alas, not even that.
But have I spent all day watering the garden deeply (big heat wave this week) and reading a delicious novel, while snacking on the cherry tomatoes that my plants are FINALLY producing? Why yes. Thanks for asking!
I have also exercised and cleaned up a little. And shuttled the kids to and from school because it’s so hot that I felt bad for them. And now I’m going to make everyone dinner, because Kevin had to teach today, poor munchkin. Look how productive I am!
(Don’t worry, I don’t teach until noon tomorrow. Plenty of time!)
