One Of Those Days

One of those good days.

Friday, when I don't have to be on campus. I have lots of essays to grade --I don't assign many essays, because it's science. But also because I hate grading them. It's physically painful after a while.

So, I got quite a few of them graded, but in between ---

I washed and dried the sheets so I get to climb into a clean bed tonight.

I put a turkey breast to slow cook in the crockpot.

I cooked a sweet potato, and mashed it up with butter, salt, and pepper, and had it for lunch.

I walked around the (chilly) garden to check the progress of the spring flowers.

I had a catnap with Cinnamon in my lap.

I visited Facebook.

I had extra alone time because Rob picked Emma and a friend up after school and took them to a used record store that is a 45 minute drive away.

I started a mixed media page in my art journal.

And I felted some random swirls onto some scrap fabric to get the hang of felting before I start a real project.

Now that is an excellent Friday.
Gratuitous Flower Photo :-)
I hope everyone else's weekend is off to a good start!

  1. That is an excellent Friday. Are your Crocuses blooming, or is this photo from last year?

  2. That does sound (and look like!) a beautiful day.
    I packed up and drove 90 minutes to a scrapbooking retreat on Friday. The views on a sunny day were worth the nagging foot pain and I was able to accomplish quite a bit over the weekend.
    I'd like to hear more about your art journal.

  3. Sounds like a great day! Your Crocuses are stunning! They're so beautiful with the oblique spring light shining through them. :)
