Checked off the To Do list!


It's been a busy and exciting week.

First: the Fodor's work is finished! Many late nights, many full days and much moaning and groaning on my part, and it is completed and sent to my editor. He told me that he's sure to have some questions in January, but to go ahead and send in my invoice. So, maybe I'll get paid back all of that money I spent already!

In addition to 'quite an experience,' I believe that this work is also testament to the strength of my relationship with Arturo. I can't say that I was easy to live with (or to look at) for the past week. Arturo took it all in stride, cooking me a fantastic taco meal, going to get me some coca-cola for an extra sugar/caffeine boost, making numerous phone calls to fact check information, and even putting up with having his picture taken.

Anyway, that is a load of both of our shoulders. Even when I wasn't working on it, I was thinking about it.

Second: grading at school is finished! Final exams were this past week and I have finished grading the exams and all the last minute homework/projects I've received. I've figured out my students' averages and written their individual comments for their report cards. There's tons more to do before school is over, but it will all be during the school day. No more work after school! Plus, in just a week and a half, I'm off for two months! Yeah!
