Pho and Duck Tape

Organizing, sleeping, reading, cooking, watching, writing, shopping, planning, cleaning, talking, eating, calling, snowing, driving, and studying. A busy, relaxing, and fulfilling spring break.

It all started with a weekend trip to Minnesota to visit Josh and Brittany. There I enjoyed delightful discussion, fantastic food (I'm in love with Pho, I dream about it, I think about it, I want more of it.), successful shopping (Ikea!), and renewing relaxation.

 I and the heaven food--Pho

 My purchases from Ikea, Stillwater, and Tea Source

My trip also included some hair-raising and prayer inducing moments when Frankie started making horrible, dragging noises on the way to and from Minnesota. The horrible and dragging noises would not be located and discovered until I arrived back home in Rhinelander. After pulling in and investigating yet again, Frankie finally decided to show me that the bottom plastic covering from my car which covers my engine and other vital tanks is what had been dragging on the highway. Duck tape came to my rescue as my heart pounded furiously as I envisioned what could have happened on the highway.

The rest of the week passed quickly as I rearranged my classroom (again) and proceeded to kill my back from being useful for the week. I spent all day Thursday lesson planning and catching up on Doctor Who. I won't say how much Doctor Who I watched, I'll just say that at the beginning of the day I was a season and two specials behind and by the end of the day I was all caught up.* I read, and I reread! With all of my work (and my binge day), I didn't read as much as I would have liked, but I did finish four books and continue to make progress through my fifth. I purchased a smartphone which will be arriving next week. I started shopping for new car insurance and have now been inundated with calls and emails from insurance companies. Ooops, I hadn't thought through the fact that searching for free insurance quotes meant lots of phone calls and emails from insurance companies. I met up with friends. And I resisted the urge to drive to Wausau for just Pho, though that was incredibly difficult. 

Now my week is coming to a close, and I'm ready to finish the last nine weeks of the quarter. But I still have two more days before those nine weeks start. What to experience next?   

*Burning with embarrassment at my utter bingeing.
