Yours portly has just finished a grueling two weeks of work.  My students attended the SCISA Music Festival this past Thursday, and the preparation for that event dominated my time.  The week prior, I was editing four chapters of a book my pastor needed to finish to get to his publisher.  His original editor fell through, so I knocked out one chapter a night over the course of four nights.  I probably spent around 12-15 hours in total editing, and one night nearly fell asleep while doing so!

But now there is a bit of a lull.  Middle School students will be in testing most of this week, and the Spring Concert is about three weeks away.  There is much to do in preparation for the Concert, but I’ll have a chance to catch my breath.

It’s raining hard at Dr. Girlfriend’s place, and Murphy and I will be hitting the road in a bit to head home.  Hopefully it’s not storming the entire way, but we’ll take our time.

How’s everyone doing out there in the blogosphere?  Any fun Saint Patrick’s Day plans?

Happy Sunday!

My little bungalow—a 525-square foot cottage—flooded late Saturday night.  I was out of town visiting family; my landlords called and texted me during church Sunday morning to let me know.

As such, I spent Sunday afternoon making a grueling drive through torrential rainstorms back home, then spent the remainder of the evening picking through the soggy remains of my life.

This flooding is the second time; the first was during Hurricane Matthew.

All that being said, a normal post isn’t in the cards for today.  Hopefully we’ll get back on track Tuesday—and keep pushing to reverse the alleged “Blue Wave.”  My little place is expendable, as are most of my meager possessions—but a flood of Democrats into the House and Senate in November would be far more destructive.

See you Tuesday!
