Finally, It’s Friday!

I’m so glad it’s Friday, and it’s a vacation day for me. I have some vacation time I have to take by the end of our fiscal year (May 31) or lose it, so with the exception of next Wednesday, I will be taking off every Wednesday and Friday through the end of May.

While I mostly plan to relax and read over the weekend, I have some work to do for my class. My students’ research paper was due yesterday, and I need to grade those. I also need to catch up on grading their journals and prepare the final exam. Next week is the last week of classes, and I also need to prepare my final lectures. None of these tasks are difficult, but time consuming.

I also need to do some housework and laundry this weekend. Thinking of all I need to do, it might not be that relaxing of a weekend, but I’ll try my best to set aside some time just for me.


I forgot to post an Isabella Pic of the Week, so here you go:

It’s Friday, 4/11/25:

The numerous times I have awaken on Friday morning and wanted conjure up a reason NOT to go in to work is more numerous than all the stars above.

Now at middle age, I’m clearly seeing how meaningless my Friday office hours are. I have a smartphone & can easily check in with clients — if needed. But since the pandemic, my Fridays are little more than a futile Ai engagement with voice mails.

The guy stretched out on the sofa in today’s pic, perfectly captures my motivation.

Enjoy the wknd.

Joe, your Isabella pic is glorious. A great profile. So statuesque.

I love when kitties do the Bastet pose -- with just a little judgmental look.
