There aren’t a lot of us. I started the yoga class yesterday, though, and found a lot of us, all women, but at least 50% grey.
The yoga class is great, I am so glad I took it. It’s in the morning and I don’t have any classes after, nothing to carry, so I rode the bike. SWEET! It’s nice going to school so close to home, last year it was a 30 minute commute.
School is keeping me pretty busy this year, and very challenging. I got ‘roped into’ a humanities class. It’s a lot of work, mostly social services stuff, and you may as well know right now that I’m not the bleeding heart liberal you might expect of a Democrat that was a teen in the 60′s. I was once, but those days are gone.
But some of the assignments are interesting. We broke up into teams for social-work projects, our looks to be to select a person who cannot pay for a surgery or some medical care and raise funds for them.
I cannot get my team together! It’s frustrating, because I found the person, if we approve her, and we need to get going on the next step. What is the next step? Well, I can’t get any of the kids to pin down a time to meet and talk, two of them actually respond to my emails, but I guess conciseness in communication is a learned skill, these kids are right out of high school. We only have three months to wrap it up with a presentation of our results. What results? I could probably do the whole thing myself, but how would that be a team effort? what if some of the team don’t like my choices? If I get short on time, I will just plow ahead.
Spanish class is great, but also a lot of work. The book costs $100.00 so I didn’t buy it (with what?), trying to find tutorials online, I found some audio that helps a lot, and the college library has some audio, too, which I will listen to today before class. I’ve been going here.

The rest of my stuff pretty much is fun and easy, except I need to keep up on my online desktop publisher class, it’s too easy to let an online class get the best of me, time-wise, but so far I am even, almost ahead.
The green quilt is really looking fine, I am stitching on the backing now, from the front. It is making pretty geometric designs on the back. I’m loving it, but don’t have a lot of time, it’s mostly my stress-relief valve. It makes a soothing escape. You’d be surprised at how a few minutes here and there add up to progress, though. It’s downright heartening. Joleen will love it. She has a few more coming, since she had all those kids without even one baby blankie from me. I’m so glad we are back in touch, it’s never too late to connect with your family.
I love you, Joleen!
Gotta go to class, full day today.
