What is good and bad about today...

• I am not feeling well (yeah, being a girl has its ups and downs)
• Did not get much sleep (was working on something and did not want to stop, then had to pack for today's trip)
• My muscles are tense (did not work out for about a week)
• BUT...
• My students are settling down and doing reasonably well; many of them are doing exceptionally well, in fact!
• There are only three voice mail messages on my machine -- probably from a Chatty Student who starts calling at 6:00 a.m., calls every 30 minutes, and leaves a message every time. Hey, I only have to respond once! :)
• My Inbox does not have any new messages -- cleared all of them this morning.
• I am driving to the Flying University to see my brother and make sure he has everything for the next week when classes start there; also, we will attend a reception tonight and meet some of his professors.
• My new gadgets and books arrived yesterday!
• If I have time tonight, I will walk on the beach...
