Where I am now

Well, obviously, it's not posting to this blog on a regular basis.

It's not that I don't think about posting, or that I don't have (what I think) are interesting posts, it's just that I haven't been motivated.

Let's face it, it was a rough winter. It was cold. There were lots of days when things were canceled due to snow. And did I mention it was cold? I wasn't motivated to do much of anything. Everything was an effort. And then I came down with a cold that lasted for nearly 3 weeks.

Fortunately, I have a somewhat regular schedule (when it's not disrupted by a snow cancelation) and even with my cold I worked on cleaning up the MassCat database, taught LIS415, and lead the senior exercise class. I also managed to do the laundry, cook dinner and vacuum the house, though not as often or as thoroughly as I would like.

There was also a mini-vacation in mid-January to New York City. We saw L'Elisir d'Amore at the Met Opera and took in a show at a fairly new supper club called 54 Below. Both were great fun.

I enjoy listening to the opera on Saturday afternoons, but during the academic year I am otherwise occupied (see LIS415 above). So for Christmas 2012, my thoughtful husband gave me a gift card to the Met Opera. Since the opera season is pretty much the same as the academic year, there's only a brief window of time to take advantage of a gift card and that happened in January 2014 just before the semester started.

Now it's April, the weather has warmed up, the days are getting longer and the semester is drawing to a close. I have great plans for the summer. Let's hope I can stay motivated.
