Mar. 21st, 2016 09:06 pmIt doesn't really feel like spring with cold temperatures and a winter coat but at least it didn't snow as much as it could have. In fact it all melted by morning. The rest of the week is going to be warmer so that's good.
Last week I had Spring Break. It was really nice not to have to go into work. I still had grading and actually got through a little more than half, which is pretty good for Spring Break. I spent most of the week at my parent's house with Tanya, which is not very conducive to doing work. We didn't do anything exciting, it was mostly home and playground and occasional trip to a story, but it was still good to do it somewhere else.
On Tuesday, Bear and I went to our accountant to do our taxes in the morning, and then Bear left for half a week since his work sessions have started and my Mom picked Tanya and I up until Saturday. From now until beginning of June he will have weeks when he has to work very late so it makes sense for him to stay with his parents, just twenty minutes away from his work, rather than drive all the way back to Brooklyn. Those week I and Tanya often go stay with my parents. On the upshot, he will have Monday's off and can watch Tanya then, so less work for my Mom. This week is a regular week for both of us except for Purim and Easter, which will mean baking and some travel.
I still have tons of grading to catch up on but I wanted to do a meme. I also want to keep reading Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" which is surprising me. I'm really into it. It's my Hardy novel for the year and I'm really glad I picked it. But alas, work beckons.
