Good Morning and Happy Sunday! While the hillside looks a little bleak with the browns of fall, the sky is a happy blue with streaks of white and grey clouds. The air started turning crisp and cool this past Thursday signaling the change in the season. My Pashmina blanket shawl has been released from its safe summer haven and Amanda laughs at me for wrapping up in the evenings. What have we been up to this week? Serra had her usual array of classes, labs, research, work and exams to keep up on. She also went shopping to prepare for the holiday week as the dining hall closes up shop. While she has been having a great time with friends,...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Extremely early today. I did not plan on being wide awake and unable to go back to sleep at 3 am but here we are. You would think as physically tired as I am that rest would come easy. Not so much when the brain kicks in. Maybe I will see about a nap today as I am wiped. It won't be a proper one, but I imagine any kind of sleep at this point would be a good thing. What did we do this week? Serra had her usual fun of class, work, labs, and research. She also got shorted on sleep with a late-night study session and fire drill the night before a...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! With the time change last week, the sun woke before I did today after a solid eight hours of sleep. Temperatures are still doing their wild thirty-degree shift from day to night which has made morning walks crisp and finally fall like. The earlier hour of darkness makes the day feel much longer and has me ready for bed at eight at night! The full moon this week was a gorgeous sight. What were we up to this week? Serra had her usual run of classes, research and labs. She's not too thrilled with the time change as it gets dark so early on her now. We have her plane ticket back to CO for...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am attempting to beat the time change today by being up early and making use of the extra hour. Hopefully it will keep me in my usual rhythm. Sleep has been short most of the week with watching the World Series. Not the outcome I was cheering for so hard-core disappointment last night. First time in a number of years that I've been that invested in the World Series. What did we do this week? Serra had a good one with hanging with friends, taking a couple of exams, registering for next semester and having a productive day at work. She went trick-or-treating on campus for Halloween and took Saturday for herself. Today will...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun woke before I did today and I'm so glad that happened! I was finally able to oversleep and got a solid nine hours last night. I had the conditions correct on Friday to sleep in on Saturday morning and my body said no. The sleep felt great and I probably could have stayed in bed a little longer. What have we been up to this week? Serra is doing so awesome staying on top of her classes, work, research and taking care of herself. She had a work event to talk about the Sophomore expedition in March, a Calc exam and a new lab area opened on campus. The Expert Witness Center had...
