Life continues to be rich and full here in Enoughsville. This week we've been particularly rich in birthdays!
We know how to do birthdays right in this house, that's for sure. You might remember that I celebrated my birthday back in March by reading job applications (whee!). Well, for my husband's birthday earlier this week I stayed up late giving my students a final exam (there's the life!). And my guy, during his big day, he had all the very special food and drink that goes with colonoscopy prep. Don't be jealous, peeps!

The lovely follow-up to his big day included special photos that reassured us all that my guy is beautiful on the inside, too. The shiny, silver bow on all of this came when we got the results of some early blood work tests; the physical discomfort he'd been experiencing was apparently the result of a parasite. Since we'd both been imagining much more significant and severe diagnoses, this result actually delighted my husband, and he's happily sharing the news with anyone who appreciates scatalogical humor.
We followed up OfSnough's celebrations with further festivities of a more traditional variety, heading out to dinner at a local restaurant and a fabulous show at our local theater to celebrate Inkling's birthday. Although, come to think of it, the show we watched was the musical Titanic, which (spoiler alert) has a very unhappy ending. I think Inkling shed more tears with her celebration than OfSnough at his, so maybe in the future I should just give her a math test and a gallon jug of special juice for her birthday instead.
At any rate, with my exam behind me, I've graded exams and papers, and I've submitted my grades. So that's over and done now! I've also completely packed up my office, and moved everything into my new sabbatical office, which will need a bit of unpacking and arranging, but is already in pretty serviceable shape.

See the runners in the distance? |
This was from a fun event we did this week. |

On a complete side note, that I can't figure out how to segue into, apparently my son-in-law makes donuts. They are beautiful donuts and I think I need to experience them up-close-and-personal someday.
Y'all really do know how to throw a birthday party ;)
ReplyDeleteThose donuts look TASTY.
