Minor badness in my life, major goodness.
For the third time in four tries, my VCR has failed to record Lost--and this season they don't seem to be doing the reruns. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD in a few years.
I have finished teaching my marathon classes, both short semester lit courses, one online. 2 plagiarists, 1 baby born early, 1 dead grandfather, 3 broken computers--but still, most survived and may even have learned something,and they were fun. But now I return to real retirement--and a good thing it is.
Finally also am able to do a real chattaraunga (yoga push-up) again. When I went back to yoga after sitting out for six months (ankle tendinitis), I was back on my knees, but my arm strength is coming back at last--yay, indeed.
Novel revision is sitting on the back burner while I've been doing a bunch of short-short stories, but I hear it calling. Also the ending of the second one is beckoning as well.
Flowers are opening here--daffodils and Japanese magnolias--and the cold has not killed them, and now it's getting warm again. My garden is still neglected, but I'll be inspired to get out there in time to plant some tomatoes in a month, if nothing else. Shrubs will have to wait till next fall, though.
Almost finished painting the living room (yes, I have been working at it since early January, almost every day), the last little part being a stair landing i wanted to make a deep rose since everything else is in quiet neutral colors. Sadly it looks like pepto-bismal. On to my second choice, a mossy green. But that will have to wait. I'm cleaning up, putting the paints in the basement, scraping the windows.
Because I'm finally off to the beach--our house has been rented out for two months, and I'm ready to get down there. Egrets, dolphins, I'm back!
But probably no computer, so I may not be around for a week or so.

Just checked; it was on Whedonesque and is due out September 6th. Almost makes you wonder if it's worth watching on television at all really.

(just 2 days ago we got 12+ inches of snow - and a snow day!). I'll be thinking of you with your toes in the sand, and the breeze in your hair - ENJOY!!
