A busy week...

It's just been a bit of a cRaZy week: car troubles, busy at work, being sick, an out of town guest and few other things I can't remember. It's just kept me from blogging and even reading the blogs I read.

I'm back at work at 110% time while I've previously I've only been there about 70% time the past year or so (that's how I've managed to find time to teach other classes and try a few other things). But I can really see the difference in being at work that much. I'll get used to it in a few weeks, I guess...

So the car was acting up earlier this week, it's an automatic and it wasn't shifting (stuck in first) this was due to the speedometer not working so it was a relatively cheap fix ($187) compared to needed a whole new transmission.

I've been fighting some kind of cold and not even realizing it, I just been sleeping a lot but I thought I was just tired. On Friday, I really started being hoarse and coughing so I broke down and went to the doctor. He gave me drugs so we'll see...

I had an old friend from college come into town and while that was excellent, it certainly would have been better if I was feeling better and didn't need naps. We spent most of the time eating, chatting or watching movies (Becoming Jane and Martian Child).

The latter movie raised a few issues for me because I've thought so much about adopting in the past, it's mostly been this last year or so that I haven't been thinking so much about it, but I have been recently thinking about it again so this movie hit home...

So coming up soon - I'll probably have some postings on keeping in touch with old friends, adoption and two movie reviews.
