70






Crunch time: Monday I go back. Don't get me wrong I love my job,but I savor the time to have PROJECTS. Maybe paint one day, organize closets on another, knit and watch movies, try and finish reading the two novels I have been neglecting. Sleeping more than 6 hours a night. The snow was my excuse to hunker down. Car troubles. Made me feel less guilty for wanting to be alone, nesting, getting to know my house again.


Looking forward to a new semester with new faces, personalities to teach and get to know. **double glup** A new perspective. Renewal. Creativity.

This fisherman's cap has been sitting on needles for months. MONTHS. These fingerless mitts were finished about a year ago. Post, yarn and pattern information is here and here.

New painting ideas have me thinking. Trying to decide a new direction educationally. In my heart I am thinking M.F.A. or M.A., but that takes courage, strategy, talent. More chance of rejection, apparently a day job is better not mentioned. Applied for the Doctorate program at NIU. I feel I have a better chance with that. Maybe...

Didn't sign up for any classes for this spring semester. Curious how I will structure my time. What I will do with the extra time and what will unfold. All the possibilities.
