It's a nice day today (and no fog! yay!), and Rob and I just walked down to the other end of campus to get lunch. It's maybe a mile or a little more round-trip. I need to be walking that - if not more - every day. (I don't need to be eating mexican food every day, though!)

I have been scheduling meetings most of the day, so I've been busy - but now everybody has gone to a meeting and I am lonely. Some days I like it when it's quiet, but not today. This may have to do with the general tiredness and mild depression I've been feeling the last few days, which in turn probably has something to do with my stress level, which has been unusually high, what with the parental illnesses and other issues and the broken-down car and all. ("Other issues" mostly meaning my dad's sudden marriage!)

On the car front, I haven't heard any more about it since I authorized the repairs on Friday, but they said it would be late this week before it gets done, so that's not surprising. The money is in my bank account now waiting to be spent. The credit union has really streamlined their loan process - I filled out the online application Friday morning, they got back to me in half an hour or so with a "yes" answer, I faxed them the signed forms Monday morning and the money showed up in my bank account yesterday. Nice.

My mom is coming home from the hospital tomorrow, which I know makes her very happy. I talked to her this morning and she didn't sound better at all, but I'm hoping that was just because it was early. I called back a little bit ago and she sounded much better. (Although also, the speech therapist was there so she probably was paying a lot more attention to her talking!)
