Just as evidence of how far melted my brain was/is today: when I went downstairs for the P&B meeting that wasn't happening, one of the department secretaries said, "It's Thursday." I thought she meant today is Thursday. Really--and not just for a flash, either. I honestly thought I was confused about what day of the week it was and had gone downstairs for a P&B meeting on Thursday instead of Tuesday. I made a big production out of having been confused--but it wasn't until I got upstairs and mulled it over for a minute that I realized I'd been even more confused than I thought. "Wait, no: today is Tuesday, so ... I'm confu... Oh! I get it! The MEETING is Thursday."
Quick quiz, Prof., what day is it? Um, um, no, don't tell me....

THINGS HAVE CHANGED:
Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.
Hi! And you are...?
I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).
