Respite

While physically I'm still at home, mentally I've gone here.
North of Spain, Summer 2005
I finished marking exams and posted grades for all of my classes last night.  The only things on my to do list today are a 6 mile run and drinking wine with some women this evening.  Maybe I'll read a magazine.  Maybe I'll paint my nails.  Maybe I'll take a nap.  I'll be doing some organizational work and cleaning here and there for the next few days, but I'm taking a break from any heavy mental lifting for the rest of the week.  Hopefully, I'll come back from my break renewed, recharged, and ready to write.

    Um, mentally, I'll meet you at the little cafe off the curvy road for some espresso in about an hour.

    Congrats on having another semester behind you. I remember the excitement as a student, so I am sure the feeling is similar for the professor. Yea for having a relaxing night - esp wine with girlfriends!

    And thank you so much for the kind/insightful comment on my post about wanting to move...
