New and Different

I have nothing scheduled to do today. It is kind of disorienting. We've been cleaning the apartment, playing with the dog, and watching the Discovery Channel. I think we're going to have chili for dinner tonight. John went on wikipedia and looked up different types of chilis, and we're going to put it on macaroni, Cincinnatti style tonight.

We're taking off for California on Wednesday next week, and I'm excited. We're flying into LAX, renting a car, and driving to my grandparent's for Thanksgiving. On Friday we'll take off for Lompoc, where I'll get to show John where I grew up. I'm really hoping that I can take him to the beach as well. Saturday is going to be my 10 year high school reunion, and we'll be going home on Monday. Blixi will be staying with Mama Yost while we're gone.

Then I have to make sure that I can finish all of the material that I need to for my classes before finals Dec 12-14. It's really going to be a struggle in microbiology, but anatomy will be fine. I'm very much enjoying the microbiology lab that I'm teaching, and the students will be completing tests to identify their bacteria when we get back from Thanksgiving break.
