It is “crunch time” at Jamie’s company. That means that I get lots of solitude as he is required to work 12 hour days. It’s good and bad for me.

Good: eating Trader Joe’s frozen pizza instead of cooking

Bad: eating too much Trader Joe’s frozen pizza. Ug.

Good: knitting and watching mindless TV

Bad: watching mindless TV

Good: plenty of time to make friends with new Nordic Track

Bad: newfound fear of being alone in basement in the dark (where aforementioned equipment resides). What?

Good: plenty of time to catch up on planning and grading papers

Bad: I hate planning and grading papers

And now Jamie’s home! Good!
