Busy Bee

Super busy day today.  Inservice in the morning, ran back to the office for a few minutes and then off to the dentist for a cleaning.  I was a couple months overdue.  Not from my lack of planning - I actually schedule every 6 months, just like I'm suppose to.  But the day of my last appointment they called and cancelled because the dental hygienist was out sick.  And the soonest they could reschedule was now. 

Apparently a few  months makes a huge difference because my teeth/gums were sore for the rest of the afternoon.  And cleanings aren't usually painful to me.  She did say she was trying to be extra thorough but man, my gums looked butchered.  Definitely a lesson for me to get in a better habit about flossing - which is something I totally don't do.  Even though I know I need to. 

Then I ran back to the office just in time to take a few students on a campus visit.  It was a small one - not on our calendar but by special request.  It was nice - these are great students and I'm excited because they really take their academics seriously.  Way more seriously than I ever did.

So I wasn't in my office more than an hour today but I really needed it.  I've been tied to my computer all week and have barely had any interaction - I needed some people time!

Good things were happening while I was out though - we got some new computers for our tutoring/study lab.  We are now officially a tutoring/study/computer lab.  We don't have a lot - 6 student computers - but it's better than the single one that our students have been fighting over.  So yeah for getting our lab set up and done!

It's just amazing because everything that I have envisioned for our program so far has come to fruition.  It's so exciting to see it all come together.  And I have so many ideas and things I want to do. Now I just need to find a way to get a secretary and another staff person and I think we will be set! In the meantime, we'll just continue to work like mad to try to make it all happen...

Completed my short run - 30 minutes of treadmill time. Sunday is 5 miles and I'm starting to get nervous.  Trying not to psych myself out but man, it seems like such a long way...but I can do it.  Right?  Right!  I think.

Now I gotta make a run of a different kind - off to Walmart I go!
