Trying to Get Back in a Groove

I have that what-day-is-it?, unsettled feeling that often comes after a one day holiday.  My unsettledness is compounded by having travelled on Monday and Tuesday and even still a bit by Quilt Camp.  I've helped my brain calm down a bit by getting papers graded, but my to-do list from last week reminds me that I'm not exactly caught up.

Yesterday as I was travelling from Columbia to Spartanburg I stopped at both Home Depot and Lowes to get paint swatches.  I got a lot of paint swatches.  I'm going to use them for my Adopt a Tree project for my writing classes and also for some other prompts.  I want to remind us that Green and Brown are not necessarily the descriptive words we might assume they are.

I am still in that happy part of the semester, where I'm ablaze with ideas.  There's the little nibble of anxiety creeping in, the worry that we will run out of activities, the worry that I'm not focused on the important tasks.  My absence rate is starting to creep up, and I've weighted the in-class work to be much more of the students' grades--but those factors aren't part of my creeping anxiety.

Let me get ready for my walk; let me remember that it's Wednesday, so it's not my Tuesday-Thursday schedule which is a smidge more leisurely.
