Sept. 1 Labor Day

For the first time in four days I feel half way alive. I came down with a fall cold Thursday, and have been suffering ever since. For a few days there I was a walking snot machine, dribbling everywhere. But, this morning, I can breath without too much difficulty, my throat is not sore, and I feel semi-energetic.

My first week of teaching went ok. I am beginning to settle into the class, and I feel less nervous with each class I teach. Life is starting to pick up once more, and soon I will be racing around wishing I had not been sick at the start of the month and able to get some of the things I was supposed to get done done.

We received a little bit of rain last week as well. Enough to drown one of the plants, poor thing. The forecast for the next week looks decent, warm weather, mostly sunny, and nice all around.

Happy Labor day to all those who have to labor to live. I certainly feel lucky to have a soft (though poor paying) job.
