(1) Overslept through my dental appointment. Rescheduled for next Wednesday, at noon.
(2) Graded 19 assignments from my students, most of which required comments and requests for revisions
(3) Broke down lots and lots of boxes and made a recycling run. (I am still working through recycling all the boxes from the move, though I am almost done.)
(4) Took a walk in Wilson Park, which is where I used to do most of my walking when I was a graduate students. It's much more developed now, with a huge playground for kids, tennis courts, and an elaborate system of walking trails. Also a pool and a baseball field, but those were there when I was in graduate school. Dr. Skull made his famous home run on the baseball field.
(5) Wrote about 500 words on my new novel
Later I'm going to take the kid to buy groceries, so really I'm doing six things today. This is a big improvement over when I was in graduate school, when I would explain to Dr. Skull that I could do one thing a week that did not have to do with graduate school. Though I was taking daily walks back then, but that was just as a break from studying, frankly.
The waterfall at Wilson Park:
That was there when I was in graduate school, but there's a much fancier bridge above it now. (That pocking noise in the background is from the nearby tennis courts.)
