Okay, I’m very excited about that fact.  It’s been a very empty couple of days (except for my family taking pity on me, of course)!  I’d forgotten what life was like when I had entire days to myself all the time.  I mean, I used to have all day\/evening to fill with whatever I wanted to do and I didn’t really see the problem.  But now that I’ve had constant companionship…I do not<\/span> want to go back to that any time soon.  (So, Lord, PLEASE keep him safe coming home!)<\/p>\n

To keep Kim from wondering anymore…I did not have an exciting day.  I tried to focus on my grading (didn’t get that much done though) and I did laundry to give me occasional breaks from sitting on the couch with papers on my lap.  I don’t know what my problem is this week.  I just cannot focus on the grading.  And while I’d love to just blow it off, I need to just get it done so that I can then REALLY enjoy the rest of my time.  And once I finish these portfolios, I won’t have to grade any more drafts for like two weeks.  But I just can’t make myself do it very well.  I’m still not done with the first class (though I should finish them this morning).<\/p>\n

So, other than grading (and laundry), I watched tv.  Well…really, I just had the tv on while I graded so that there was sound in the house.  When I know that someone is coming home in a few hours, I can grade in silence, but if there aren’t going to be any sounds later, it helps to have a low volume in the background.  And of course, I watch educational shows (shows with stories are too distracting…I can’t grade because I get sucked into the plot) so that’s how I justify it!  <\/p>\n

My parents took me out to dinner last night in London (it’s about halfway between my house and theirs), so that was nice.  I think I talked almost the entire time…but hey, I haven’t had much in the way of listeners this week!  Then I ran to the Walmart that’s right next to the Bob Evans.  I went in for Dryel sheets and to see if they had sunglasses.  I ended up spending a lot of money.  I guess that’ll teach Eric to leave me alone! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
