rebeccmeisterI'm working my way through grading a writing assignment that is generally fun and interesting, but still mentally demanding. The music I listen to while grading is often an index of where we are in the semester. I often listen to high-energy techno, but today is more of an Enya day.
Meanwhile, it is beautiful outside - a cool 40°F, but sunny, and 40 feels far nicer than freezing temps. I eventually capitulated to Martha's begging for outside time and took a brief break from grading to walk around with her on her leash. She was purring while she prowled around. After that I managed to get the raspberries pruned, and I put out birdseed for the birds (and for the cats to watch the birds from inside).
Well, back to grading.
