Great Weekend, Quiet Work Monday

So I had a great weekend. I was able to spend some time with cyan_blue on Friday afternoon. Then I went to see Serenity with airshipjones, uncledark and calvin_xc1. We were joined there by friends. We truly enjoyed the film and all highly recommend it.

On Saturday I was able to go with redhatmary and other Redhatters to the "Tea and Melodrama" at the Ardenwood Historical Farm. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday we hosted Victoria's 5th Birthday Party. The turn out was great with over a dozen kids and over a dozen adults. It was a great success. Everyone had fun, the kids most of all. I really enjoyed watching them and being with friends. Then I spent a quiet evening with my wonderful partners.

Today I am working on cleaning my room, particularly my closet. I still have a half dozen boxes to unpack, sort and put away in my closet. And I have laundry to hang up etc.

I also need to work on my cover letters. For what you say? I am applying for community college teaching positions in Anthropology and Women's Studies. If I get them, they probably wouldn't start until next fall, spring at the earliest. I miss teaching. I spent my year and a day focusing on my writing. I am still writing but I really miss being out in the world. I believe I could handle part time teaching along with my writing. In fact, I think it might help excite me for my writing. I always get a mental buzz from teaching.

Mead Day - Saturday, Oct. 8, Noon-?

Just a reminder that we will be racking the mead on this Saturday at noon. Racking is the process where we filter the mead. We get to see how the mead is brewing. We have all the new batches to move from the buckets to glass carboys. It is relatively easy and fun. If you want to join us, please let us know.
