Caution…

CAUTION

Lengthy paper, including Powerpoint presentation due on Thursday. All about how to become a Pharmacist, what it involves, information on schools, etc. LOTS of information.

Me, being the wise person I am, started on this (a) when I first got the assignment on the first day of class, (b) a few weeks ago, or (c) today, and I have written next to nothing so far.

If you guessed C, you win a prize! (Yeah, I don’t know what the prize is. Pat yourself on the back for me though, ok?)

Even now, I can’t be forced to write anything. I keep reading articles and then wondering off into cyberspace. I would turn off the router, but I’m using online resources. Well, I am in theory, if I was actually writing something.

It is going to be a long week, I can tell you that already. Hmmm… wouldn’t today be a great time to redesign my site? Ok, ok, I’ll focus!

UPDATE, 1:30 am: I have responded to the first 8 bullet points in the outline, and have two single-spaced pages of text already. (I still have to convert it to double space.) I have information for the remaining bullets in the Profession Information section (hot button issues for pharmacists, specializations, related occupations, and other pertinent information). I then have to write about the education program at U of H and at one other school, followed by details on Professional Organizations. I have already printed all of that information, so it is just a matter of sifting through it all.

There is hope. Amazing what happens when I buckle down and work. Now, I must sleep.

Leave cookies*. I’ll need them tomorrow. (*translation: comments. Pretty please.)

Blue Sky Needed…

Island BoyIt has done nothing but rain for the past 12 hours at least, plus all the rain we got yesterday, and as Staci noted in my comments on my previous post, the bayou is overflowing. We are supersaturated now, and I don’t think we can handle much more rain.

You know it is bad when your Dad calls at 6:45 in the morning and tells you that he is driving down the middle of the road because of the flood. Most of the college campuses closed today, he informed me. That finalized my decision to not go to class, as driving almost 40 miles round-trip in floodwaters was just not what I was up to doing today. Plus, it just isn’t safe. You never know what you will run into in weather like this, and you should never mess with flood water.

I’ll work on my latest psych paper instead.

In preparation for our upcoming show at the Yale Street Market, I’ve been going through old photos to pull out ones that I will print. I came across this forgotten gem from November, 2003 – the first time I met Mike’s parents. While they were down here in Houston, we took them to Galveston. It was a beautiful, clear day and the photos we took were fantastic. I think this one will make the cut for the print pile. What do you think?

Monday Sunshine…

Cottage Flowers
The flowers outside the magical cottage in St. James Park in the heart of London.

It is after midnight now, so it is officially Monday. I felt the need for bright, sunshine flowers as I listen to the rain outside. Cool weather has visited us, but within days it will be back into the high 80s again. So really, not only do I need flowers, I need leaves changing colors and cooler temperatures to stay for longer than a few days. I guess the reason I have flowers on my mind is because I woke up to the rain here and a knock at my door. The man outside handed me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and the envelope on the card said Flower Delivery Dublin. A reminder from my parents on what I was missing by not taking the trip with them.

I know fall will come, I know it will. It just can’t be soon enough.

Happy Monday!
