Soak up the Sun

Joel and I went to the pool for a few hours today. I brought some really dense reading materials - IT research journal articles - and Joel brought a novel by Stephen King. (I am so jealous!) I guess I lost track of time because I came back with a fairly decent sunburn. We got out my new cucumber mellon body cream and tried to prevent future peeling. We just came back from the store. I put together a pizza and have set Joel to the task of watching it cook.

I am about to write three papers to summarize three of the articles I read. After that, I have about 250 pages to read in my text. It shouldn't be as dry as the article reading. I should be able to get through that pretty quickly. Whoa, you know it is bad when you are looking forward to reading a textbook.

Todd won't be back in town until the 24th or something like that. My cuddle quota is seriously not being met this month.

Poor Joel. I have deprived him of food all day. He must be starving. There isn't much of the boy to let attrition.

Muhammed came over last night. So he and Joel watched me file away paperwork and rework my calendar. It was kinda sad. I feel like a bad hostess, but I just have a lot of stuff to get done. Once I get into a routine, things will be better.

Talked to Ann yesterday and Jeanne today. It is always refreshing to have friends who are very much like you. It makes you realize that although you are unique, it doesn't mean you are crazy.

Must start writing a critical summary of quadric algorithms for something-or-another.
