Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving!
Things are incredibly busy for me right now, with the job search and another orchestra concert coming up and my resular teaching (thankfully, testprep is over for the next several weeks!) I probably shouldn' have taken on a consulting project for the Council for Education or agreed to help my friend grade her exams this term, but I really need the money--even if I don't end up moving (which I might), I'm in the hole big time right now for sending out application materials and buying a couple suits (on sale on sale on sale!) in the event that I get to interview! Applying for jobs is EXPENSIVE!

Anyway, today, I am thankful for a couple things:

my family and my friends, especially during a very stressful time

my work, which I think might end up being important to someone besides me down the line

everyone who has given me advice or inspiration (and many of them have no idea how inspiring they really are, but I appreciate it nevertheless)

my cats for comanionship and comic relief

and finally, for today, the first day in weeks, literally, that I haven't had to be somewhere or do something or meet someone. I love that stuff, but it's been exhausting me lately, so I'm completely grateful to have a day or two to myself.

I hope everyone else is enjoying their turkey as much as I'm enjoying not having to worry about it . . .
