OKAY, it’s almost curtain time. I have to get in gear for this semester. I am blessed with a job in my field, a minor that a lot of students want, and a major that some students want. 🙂  (Criminal Justice/Sociology)

I am invited to 3 conferences in one semester. My Purdue buddies are networking with me. So I can’t complain.

So much of me wants to just coast. I’m too old for this!! My old library job where I never had to think, is sometimes SO appealing. But I make double what I made there. So again, nothing to complain about, right.

I live in the sunny south, where the sun is once again streaming in through my window with a view of our tranquil pond out back. No complaining.

There is a layer of ICE over it, and our temps are running 15-20 degrees BELOW NORMAL once again, but— whatever. Our highs will reach the 50s next week. Can’t complain.

Why is it so hard to get in gear for this semester?? GEEZ.

Oh– I know why. The stress of last semester. 118 students and an extra class. The stress of a new job where I am trying to earn tenure, without which we lose our house. That could be some of it….  hmm… But really, all is going pretty well. Lots to be thankful for. I need to get it together. “Just do it” as they say.

I will list below my “workspace”  with the sun streaming in, and my view.
