Things have been in a word, hectic. Crazy-not-enough-hours-in-the-day-whirlwind-busy. I started my post-doc last week (8/13), and am loving it and hating it. More on that later. I’m terribly behind in posting all the haps at our house and in life in general, so I’m dedicating the naps today to catching up. Here’s hoping Lucas and Charlotte are on board [...]

Take cover

Last night we some pretty crazy weather, torrential rain, tornado warnings all over the place, a rumored funnel cloud over the Kennedy , and then, the sirens went off. No kidding, the emergency broadcast system came on the TV, and then the sirens started going off. Of course, Charlotte was sound asleep at this point, [...]
Anxious slacker

I have been terribly neglectful in my postings, and much of it has been due to some personal stressors, some of which I will be putting into separate posts.
Firstly, I am leaving my at-home part-time job to start my fellowship next week. As excited as I am about my fellowship, I’m quite saddened to be [...]
Pretty neat, if you like charts

I found a cool website through some other sites that I frequent. It has several charts showing each state’s historical voting record since 1948. See? Like I said, pretty neat. And very interesting to see how some states/regions are for the most part die-hard loyal to one party (I’m looking at you, Prairie region and [...]
Planning for the future

I’m a planner. I like to plan vacations, parties, the next 10 years, 100 things I want to do before I die, how many miles I need to run to reach 1000 miles run in one year, etc. I like to have things written down in my calendar (no Crackberry for me), and I’m probably [...]
Sad day

Its a sad day for our family. M’s uncle died on Tuesday, today is the service. Its wasn’t a total shock, as he’s been sick, but death still can seem sudden, even when its expected. I knew this uncle pretty well, as his daughter, M’s cousin, was one of my friends from college, and she introduced [...]
Summer outings

Its near or above 80 degrees today, which means one thing. Whatever short-lived spring we were hoping and waiting for has already passed, and summer is upon us. Now, that doesn’t mean that its out of the question for us to have a 50 or 60 degree day in the coming weeks, but having lived here my [...]

I had a first interview at the end of April at a therapeutic day school – School A (one very similar to my internship site, yet different). That interview went well, and at the end of our meeting, the director confirmed that there were 2 positions, and also one other position that had a strong administrative [...]
