My dream day today would be a drive and hike through the woods somewhere where the air is crisp but not cold (good sweater weather) and where fall leaves are at their peak. With my husband, of course. I'd just let the tension drain out of my body and do my best to relax. But since my dream day isn't going to happen, let me revise it.
My dream day today would be to spend a few good, solid hours working on my website, which I'm relearning to do for a class and have spent very little time on. I'd get a lot done and love what I did. I'd go to class, come home, and perhaps take a little nap or relax before doing my homework for my other class. I'd accomplish that work by 6:00 pm and still have plenty of time to wind down for the day. I'd empty my dishwasher and get the dirty dishes out of my sink (and into the dishwasher), and I'd have time to work on a personal project my sister and I have been working on since this summer. I'd go to bed at a decent hour (between 10:00 and 11:00), get eight blissful hours of sleep in which I neither woke up or slept in awkward positions that resulted in aching, painful muscles in the morning. I'd wake up refreshed and ready to tackle another day.
Not very ambitious, but I'm hoping. I've been fairly busy if you haven't guessed, barely taking a minute for myself in between studying and doing homework. The stress level is amping up a bit and I'm doing my best to control it. Mostly I'm glad to be this busy, because it makes it easier without Al, Dana, or Stephanie here (I've mostly been a social hermit, only going out twice with Stephanie, once with a lecturer friend of mine, Jim, and once with my office mate, Masha. My Netflix tend to sit around for weeks and my library books are overdue. My apartment goes through stages of cleanliness (three hours) and mess (gradually worsening over three weeks) and I need to do laundry, but haven't made it down to the clubhouse to put money on my money card. I'm not complaining, though; just...tired. I'm hoping this trip to DC next week (I've got a conference to go to) will provide some rest, although the prep before-hand and the catching up afterward may not make that goal very easy.
I hope your lives are full of love, laughter, and relaxation. Here's to having a good day.

I miss you too :)
Rhonda,
I do feel for you, but at least you are not fighting against "he who must not be named" and his minions! (I'm listening to The Order of the Phoenix if you can't guess). Wouldn't you know, I didn't get on-line yesterday so I missed your re-entry date. Love you, Mom
Just a note to say hang in there, and that I enjoy your blog as well. :) - Aaron
