Is it Spring yet?

Another day, another entry. The last few days it has really been nice out. Melting like crazy. My path in the morning is a combination of ice, snow, pavement and puddles. Going home tonight part of it was like a river running. I will be glad with it all goes to pavement. Hopefully before May 1 so I can start my no socks (which look best with sandals). We will see.

Today I was paid a very high compliment. I was asked to run from President of University Assembly. And I think I will if it comes to it. I just have to be re-elected to Classified Council, elected to Assembly, then elected president. We will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.

I am starting to feel better again - not so tired in the evenings, although I don't know if that is because there is more sun or if I am getting better.

I need to start making summer plans on what I want to accomplish. So here are a few of my goals:

1. move the garden
2. replace the gutters
3. work on the side of the house planters
4. finish the cottage garden
5. make the patio
6. get rid of the bronco

That should be enough to start with.

I think I will go to bed now.

Well,

It has been quite a while since I wrote. I have been sick - my yearly bout with the flu - or what ever it is - I am still coughing.

DMae and Scott have had a trip to Rome since I last wrote. Scott is really big any more - as if I have room to talk. I want to work on my health, though. I even set up a Dr appt - something I haven't done in a long time.

Work is way too busy - the graduate curriculum has taken over our lives. Hopefully it will be done soon.

Em has been here and gone again - is she a hobbit in reality? She spent time in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. She was home for a few days then off to her new job. While she was home there was a snow slide on our way to Hope and a volcanic eruption that delayed her leaving for a day - which means she lost the change fee for her flights. While she was home she had a tiff with Andy which left her in a foul mood for most of her time home. I don't know what to do about her moodiness. I think that just leaving her alone for quite a while might help. We always seem to argue when she is home. Hopefully she will outgrow it sometime soon.

I need to get up to see Mama on Friday. I have some supplies from Pinky to take up. I need to pay for her prescriptions, too.

I got a 5% increase for exceptional performance. I need to update my position now and I hope that I can get another 5%.

I think this is all for now.

gator!
