Outer Rim Territories

Its ten hours to go…. and I need a nap.

Folks,

The blog posting has necessarily slowed in the last week and will probably remain so through the duration of the semester. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I sit through six hours of class. I’ve been working extra to cover this classwork. I have a video production the first weekend in May on campus. We leave for Novosibersk the second week of May. Plus… somewhere in there the necessary coursework needs to get done. To complicate matters, we’re trying to go through our junk collection for sale-able items for the church rummage sale or eBay. What is left is either packed as essential or junked as refuse.

Speaking of eBay, I have been doing real well on getting rid of stuff of any value. I made $300 on unopened blank cassette tapes (go figure!) so this morning I went with the found money and did something I’ve neglected. I bought a black suit, the uniform. Not only do I now have a black one… it is fitted unlike the co-op specials. (Perhaps I should have them tailored?) I’ve lost enough weight that my sizing is down a notch. Maybe the suit will be the incentive to keep it off? So now, at least on occasion, I will be able to look like my clothes were meant for me.
