(1) Graded about 200 submissions from students, most of them short, but all of them requiring feedback from me. (55 students times an average of four assignments per student, but several of them didn't turn anything in, so. This is increasingly common, by the way: students sign up for a class, but then just don't do any work. When I pursue them via email, they explain that they have other classes and full-time jobs and three kids, but they're planning on doing the work for my class very soon.)
(2) Made a chicken pie
(3) Wrote 3500 words on my new novel
(4) Took three walks, one of them when it was 12 degrees outside, and one of which was on the local trail system, Razorback Greenway. It's pretty cool.
(5) Read a bunch of books and wrote two reviews
What did you do this week?

Finally did my taxes. Sent a bunch of e-mails to reps. I started reading one of the books my conservative friend recommended to help explain that not everyone who opposes DEI is a racist scumbag. It's The Identity Trap, and there have already been a couple of examples of DEI gone wrong (a school where all the black kids were put into the same class, to keep them in a safe space, and some place that gave COVID treatment (or vaccines?) based more on minority status than minimizing deaths). Still, when it's wholesale wiping out of all DEI things, I'm strongly opposed. But I'm also reading fun books, keeping up on my walks and DuoLingo, and have started going to weekly English country dances (much like square dances) with a couple of friends.
