Acceptable
That's the rating I'd have to give my weekend thus far, if it was customary to rate such things. Hmmmm. Anyway, it was a perfect day to run, so I thoroughly enjoyed it ... even charged up some hills (1st time since the 1/2 marathon).
Cleaned for awhile, just enough to regain sanity without losing it again. Note to self: M's notes that read: "I'll be home in time to clean!" really translate into something like: "I'll be home in time to watch ER while chowing down on fast food!"
A. stopped by to show off her new haircut, so I had a nice chat w/her ... assured her that I'd leave phone on during my evening's outing, in case she needed rescuing from hers. Saw The Incredibles, which makes ... 4 (5 actually, but who's counting) flicks I've seen before J. (How ya like me NOW? Eh?) Ran into a student near the cinema; she actually recognized me and seemed happy about it. Heartwarming, I know.
What else? Had a facial with the girls, visited with my sis, who surprisingly refrained from assessing my health this time. Apparently my most pressing concern to date is a new haircut. An "update", as she so eloquently puts it. She also rushed to counteract my laments over recently-discovered wrinkles with, "Chill out, those are dermatocreases!" Right, of course. As if.
Hosted a small party which seemed fun. M commented, "You're a great hostess!" Coming from the banquets manager of a finer restaurant, I'll take that as a compliment. And far preferable to the disdainful "You're just another Martha Stewart, aren't you?" which I heard recently. (Yes, well, at least I'm not in jail.)
Made progress on my unit plan, including a Powerpoint packed with gory pictures of infectious disease. Couldn't bring myself to include the STD shots... the goal is to teach, not to induce vomiting. Was rather tempting though.
Left on the agenda: celebrate K's b-day, finish unit plan, elucidate microteaching assignment (say what?), read, write a "scholarly paper" (as if our other papers are unscholarly, haha) to accompany unit plan. I should probably ring my brother, but his availability undoubtedly decreases as the weekend closes. Ah well. As The Stones would say, "you can't always get what you want."
Overall, I can't complain. The lingering aroma of apple cider confirms this opinion. :) I love fall.
