This past weekend, we made an impromptu trip to Charlotte and West Virginia to see my aunt and uncle and my parents. Also, to eat chili slaw dogs and visit the “Unbelievable!” Mystery Hole (which, no matter how you phrase it, always sounds bad). It was a lovely little visit.
In other news, I chopped off all my hair. It was 80 degrees yesterday. My neck thanked me.
I continue to grade papers.
I may forever be grading papers.
At least, that’s what it feels like.
We went to the English department picnic yesterday, and Jesse played corn hole (another term that always sounds bad) and I ate lots of tasty picnic food. Afterwards, Jesse and I spent time browsing the local library and running errands.
I wanted to post some pictures of the weekend last night, but then I spent hours grading and all motivation to do anything disappeared.
I wrote this post. But, that was about all the mental energy I had, after spending the evening grading. I can only write short, simple sentences. I respond to verbal questions with grunts and hand gestures.
Forgive me.
