The world is normal again.  My internet is working, all the holiday visiting is over, and we have a new big project to start.  We have a small plumbing leak and have to have a wall ripped out in our bathroom to have it fixed.  So, we are now going to start redoing our bathroom.  We aren’t doing a complete overhaul but enough that our bathroom should look a lot nicer than it does now.  We’ll get a new bathtub and rip down the fake tile that has been mocking me since the day we moved in and put up new tile and I’ll paint it some fabulous color instead of high gloss white.  Our bathroom could quite possibly be the ugliest bathroom in the modern world.  I am happy to have to do it.  I will have to remember this when I am deep into the project and wondering what the hell I was thinking doing this. 

I have a week and a half until classes start again.  I certainly don’t feel like I have been off for over two weeks already.  But sadly, it has been nearly 3 weeks and I have to return to school.  I still don’t know if I will be teaching next semester.  I am low teacher on the totem pole so I get the last little bit of classes available.  I am hoping I get to teach this semster but I will be okay if I don’t.  There are five full-time positions available in August and I am hoping to get an interview.  We’ll see what happens. 

No news on the adoption front.  I don’t expect there to be any until next month at the earliest.  I can be patient (I can try anyway).
