The last few weeks have been up and down, like a seemingly endless rollercoaster of madness. Work has been the cause of that (mostly) -- with endless infighting, 'he said, she said,' and even a side dose of governing board drama. Yes, Athena is tired, so tired, of wondering what today's news will bring on the work front. If today passes without a news truck, reporter or other public records request filed, it will be the first workday in many a week without such an event.
I also made a long-overdue decision to quit my alumnae association board post. I simply cannot give the time required and ultimately I think that position is set up to fail. I hope that the next person who takes it finds it more rewarding than I did, and not such a chore.
I'm still without word on graduate school. I contacted UIC last week for an update, and I will hear something in the next two weeks they tell me. I only hope it is good news.
Last week, Hoosier Guy and his two kiddos came down to southwest Florida for spring break. They had a nice little hotel nearby and spent their days exploring southwest Florida while I met them for dinner and evening activities each night. It was wonderful to hang out with them and get to know them more, together, as a family. They are great kids. Hoosier Guy is a good dad -- and he parents much like I would, iffen I had kids. We had lots of fun and it was sad to let them go on Saturday morning.
Sunday afternoon I visited with KC, her baby and husband -- just hanging out at her house and relaxing. I had lots of fun and enjoyed a lazy Sunday evening with friends.
