Down the mountain.

The people, it is hot.

And, in that environment, I must begin to think about work, as in my job. As in:

• syllabi
• online content
• reading the governing documents for faculty
• developing some content that other faculty can use (one of the outcomes/deliverables of my sabbatical proposal)

I think we can all agree that "hot" is an unconducive environment for any of that. But I am a professional and therefore I will execute faithfully all of the above with only minimum amount of whining.

I have various pieces of the manuscript to mull over still. And I have some video essays I'd still like to make, let alone movies I would like to see! Maybe tomorrow has to be my laundry day/make a plan day.

I don't want to start counting down the weeks or days or hours, but it sure feels like it's about that time.
