I’ve hit the ten-page mark on the first draft of my research paper, and there’s still much more to write, then lots and lots to edit. Yikes! No way I’ll make the Friday deadline, so it’s lucky that my prof said I could have extra time.
I have to take a serious break from it soon–maybe for the rest of the night. I have “saga brain.” A technical term. LOL!
Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes and prayers regarding my health! 🙂 I am feeling better today, although I spent a good deal of it at the doctor’s office getting my heart checked out and my lungs too, while they were at it. I still have the congestive heart failure diagnosis, but it’s downgraded to chronic instead of acute. Yay! 🙂 And I haven’t heard anything from the doctor about my chest X-ray, so I’m taking that to mean that it was all good.
When I went to the doctor today, it was 15 F ( -9 C) outside. Tonight it’s going down to 5 F ( -15 C). Sometimes I have to seriously wonder why I moved back to Ohio from California all those years ago…
I’m pondering my class choice(s) for next semester, which starts in January. I have to decide by Monday. I’m torn between taking two classes, Gothic Paris 1100 – 1300 and a wild-and-crazy Jane Austen Popular Culture class. Should I take them both, or just one, and if so, which one?
I’d really like to take them both, but at issue is the fact that they meet on different days, which would necessitate me driving back and forth to the city four days a week. Do I have enough room in the budget for that much gasoline? Inquiring minds want to know…
As you can tell, I’m deep into goofing-off mode now! Let me do something productive for a bit…

Gothic Paris. That’s what we’d recommend in a face off between the two…

That’s my pick, too, if I have to choose. I’m still trying to stretch those numbers to accommodate both classes, though. Thanks for your input, Mel & Suan! 🙂

My choice would be Gothic Paris every time – and from what I know of your interests so far, I would have thought that one would suit you best, too. I do love the Jane Austen quote, though. Glad to hear you’re feeling better – and let’s hope that ‘no news is good new’ regarding the X-ray.
As for those temps in Ohio… Oh my goodness! I suppose it makes things nice and ‘Christmassy’, though.

I have decided for sure on Gothic Paris, especially since I already have the books, and they look so good! Next Thursday is my lung scan; I hope I hear something good about it before Christmas.
As for the temps, it has warmed up today, first to freezing rain and now just regular rain. We still have the pretty snow, though, and lots of fog and mist. Very mysterious looking! 🙂

Snow at Christmas is something we long for here in the UK (well, England, at least. The highlands of Scotland and central Wales get a fair bit). We all have the Dickensian-style Christmas card in mind and there always seems to be plenty of snow in those scenes. In reality, some years we don’t see a single flake. Just clouds and rain … then more rain…
Fingers crossed re. the lung scan. You’ll have so many people thinking about you and willing the results to be good.

Not everyone in the UK longs for snow for Christmas. I hate the stuff, so it’s as well that I live in a part of the country that hardly ever sees it.
I would be torn if the choice were Gothic Paris or Jane Austen. She is my favourite novelist, as well as being from the same county as me, but the twelfth-century ‘renaissance’ has got to win.

Yes, I went for Gothic Paris because the crunch came down, and I had to choose just one class. It was a very difficult decision!
