Happy, but teacher tired!

I didn't mean to go so long between posts, but school is taking up a lot of my time and energy right now, and what is leftover is usually more fun to spend on my actual hobbies. I've got a pretty good rhythm going now, and I'm starting to feel like I've got the hang of things (dangerous!), so hopefully I can keep working in more and more bits of 'life.'

To sum up a few of the highlights of the last six weeks or so...

I've spent a lot of time lesson planning

A dear friend came to visit and we went to NASA among other wonderful adventures

I finished the bowl cozy and use it all the time

I'm nearing the end of my Birds of a Feather shawl--I can't wait to wear it!

This is a terrible picture of the not blurry in real life Weehistoric cardigan for my future niece or nephew- squee!

And in addition to a pair of movie socks, I've got these on the go. Loving the chevrons!

I decorated my house for fall, and have been indulging in fall treats like candy corn, apple cider, and of course, pumpkin spice lattes. I'm enjoying my cat, enjoying my apartment, loving my job, and continuing to work through the process of radical life change. God is good, and I'm so glad to be where I am!

Parting shot: I was sorely tempted, but did NOT buy this mug.
