I am thankful that I will not be doing LRA this year. I just don't have the energy, and I was telling Susan James I don't know if I'll ever have the energy to do back to back to back conferences ever again. I'd rather sit back and chill. My mind is full and I need to process.
Yesterday, our team presented at ALAN and afterwards, I turned the screen off and said, "Potatoes. I need to get potatoes," and so I did. The store was packed, but I was happy to see there were groceries to be purchased and available. Thankful, too.
I need to wake up, sip my coffee, and put an action plan forward so the house is clean and ready for homecomings and feast-tables. I need just enough rest so that it can happen.
My ALAN books, however, are on campus, and I'm totally excited about digging into them, so I imagine I'll go and stock up for weekend reads. I also have a grad class to teach tonight.
Ah, but this frog is going into a mini-chill mode. It is a necessity.
And with that, I'm leaving today's post short. I need to occupy my energies elsewhere.
