Sorry I haven’t been blogging more – not really any exciting news, been evil sick for two weeks, and you know how fun that is to blog about 🙂 I’ve missed a couple of readings I wanted to go to, too. Whatever evil upper respiratory thing is going around, it takes you down and out for more than a couple of weeks, and antibiotics haven’t even made a dent. I was really thankful my teaching gig has been online, especially with the broken foot earlier and now with the virus-from-hell. I can still grade through the haze of cold medicine and tylenol.
I’m getting ready to start my new class, so I’m trying to make preparations for that as the students in my current class turn in their final poems and papers. Cross your fingers – I built the new class from scratch so I hope the students like it!
Still haven’t been submitting much, but I have some ideas for submitting…and I revised my third book manuscript a little for the next round of contests coming up in June.
I’m leaving for Seattle in a couple of days for Glenn’s work trip, so hopefully I will be slightly more well by then. Slow going. I heard it’s been sunnier there than here in San Diego anyway, so maybe the change in locale will actually help! It’s misting outside right now and in the low sixties. Practically regulation NW weather…
Looking forward to seeing a few friends and checking out the bookstores (especially Open Books) as usual. If any of you Seattle-type friends want to get together for lunch next week, give me a buzz…
