I just cannot shake this cold off me!
This whole week I’ve been coughing, sneezing, being congested, and nursing a soar throat. I noticed some students started looking at me sideways this morning. I pulled through till lunch (11am) then got my classes covered for the afternoon and came home early.
Been having tea and resting this afternoon. Read a few pages of Hamnet and then started anxiously scouring the Internet.
What was I looking for? I have no idea… But here is what I read:
1. This article from the Purse -a good piece about how earning a high income does not guarantee savings.
2. This article from Kelly Nolan on time saving strategies for working moms/women/both. Made me feel rather inadequate and crawl into a hole.
3. A podcast: Kate Bowler and Anne Lamott – funny, heartfelt, made me feel warm inside.
4. This article: what’s the deal with Quince? I do not own anything by Quince but always hear their advertising on podcasts that I listen to.

The sky was on fire yesterday. A truly spectacular sunset!!
Things I am looking forward to:
- A lunch and learn at work this Friday.
- Also this Friday – a date night. Dinner and a movie.
- Saturday, hair salon for my daughter and I. Me – color and cut, my eight year old – her first “profesh” haircut
- Sunday- cycling class, skating with kids
- Monday- off for president’s day!
What is the latest rabbit hole we went down?
