It's almost like a family reunion in the TD these days.

@ school right now, finished up a journal that will be due... now I need to go look over some xrays and critique them (basically we fill out a form saying what's right and what's wrong with the positioning, what different body parts are in the pics, etc) lots o' fun. Was talking to a fella in my class, he rides his Soma (Doublecross?) in from Mt. Tabr area every morning. It's funny, I'd walk past his bike and admire it every morning... now I know who its owner is.

Kit!! Glad to "see" you, hope all is well with school and such.

[Kitsune06]

So far, so good. I'm getting all good grades, have my clinicals at a really great local hospital and have class with some really cool people. Life is good.

Finished up my critiques, now time to feed kitties, make dinner, finish my homework and maybe have a beer.

Deb, the canoe race sounds fun.
It makes me sad that we hardly use our very nice canoe. Every year less and less. I only do flat water paddling, but it's not like there's a lack of places to do that around here. The bike just gets in the way.

We go every year and spend a week or two doing nothing but laying by/in the pool, riding scooters around town, eating amazing seafood, and enjoying free happy hour every night. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Have fun in Key West!
I remember when I was 18 (about a hundred years ago) riding a scooter around in the Bahamas, buying a woven palm leaf hat, eating pigeon peas and chicken- what fun!

DH and I are oddly getting swamped with patent drawing work right now- looks like maybe we won't get a chance to get away anywhere for fun- just an obligatory family trip in June we don't really want to do but have to. We'll try to make it as enjoyable as we can.

But I do have my big veg garden and my beehives to tend, and that can feel like a sanctuary right in my own little neighborhood back yard. When i'm digging the soil and sowing bok choy and cucumber seeds in the sun with my bees flying around me, I feel like i'm a thousand miles away from my desk.

BSG - your yard sounds heavenly.


My SO finally got word that her position at the U will be ending in the Fall due to budget cuts (ahh the joy of being non tenure track faculty). We've been anticipating this for a couple of years and we've been working things out financially so when it happens we'll be okay. We will be able to live on my salary and I can but her on my benefits.

I'm happy for her as she's been burned out in her field for some time, I hope she'll just take some down time and rest/refocus.

You are very smart to have prepared for that possibility. She'll have time to recoup her strength and then figure out a new and better path.

That's what I'm hoping for. She's VERY driven and has never had time to just sit and contemplate the future... I hope after a couple of weeks she'll be able to settle and breathe and rest.

well, technically, it more of a "Workcation"
I'm writing a historical novel in my copious spare time, so I'm go to Fort Wayne eek: to do some research.
I think you've got me beat with Key west there...
