1. I woke up at 5:45 with no alarm feeling rested.
2. It is the birthday of many important people.
3. I get to have lunch with a sweet and funny friend at my fave campus lunch spot.
4. JM and I are going to take six huge boxes of books to the p.o. to mail to Powells, and Powells will then give us money in return. We are also going to donate about a hundred and fifty books to the books for prisoners program.
5. That swine flu isn't all that scary after all.
6. The economy is showing signs of recovery.
7. I have been reading this interview with our president, who is a very, very, very, very smart man.
8. My dissertating advisees are, as the kids say (or maybe the fact that I am saying it means they are no longer saying it), rocking out. Two have recently won very competitive fellowships, another is making crazy headway on her diss, and another is defending hers on Thursday. Another of these recently bungee jumped from the highest commercial bungee point in the world. And she lived!
Of all the people in the world, why was I the one telling you not to worry about swine flu?
