Sunday, until it was time to teach, was basically a washout of accomplishing little, other than some laundry, sweeping, and napping. I did enjoy some sugar-free vanilla ice cream with delicious coffee cake made by my friend and colleague, Carol Chatfield.

The seven-hour teaching stretch was excellent. The students are coming in strong, prepared, and ready to work. It was such a refreshing feeling. Monday’s and Tuesday’s lineup will undoubtedly follow suit.

This week seems to have a different attitude regarding the weather than last week’s highs in the nineties. However, we will be dipping down into the 50s during the nights. Sunday night’s sleep was sound and replenishing, but I am still feeling the drags. The Colonel snuggled with me nearly all night, as did The Sisters, Bailey and Harrigan.

I put aside the audiobook on the relationship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It was exciting but felt somewhat dry. I pulled up another book, DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC, by Candice Millard, which deals with the assassination of President James A. Garfield and the madness of medical practice at that time. It’s a great read.

It is on with my day.

Make it a great day!
