It’s cold and salt-encrusted and dirty everywhere I look outside. I think I have permanent hat hair. And I know I’m not getting enough exercise. Hmm, must be midwinter.
I’m keeping the fridge pretty empty, but I had a nice work breakfast of thick yogurt and thick preserves, topped with granola.
Breakfast at my desk – I own an orange Le Creuset casserole like the one shown in the picture underneath
After breakfast, things kind of went down hill. I was trying to record a lecture for one of my classes, determined to make it shorter than the prior one, but shucks, lecture one was 36 minutes, and this one’s 47.
I’m trying to get myself set up so that I can have an extra monitor to connect my laptop to both at home and at work. Yesterday the tech guys came over and we tried connecting my laptop to an old Dell, and had trouble getting it to extend. And of course as soon as the tech guys left my office, it went black. Today my poor little laptop seems to be having video issues – a couple of times the screen went black while I was trying to record. And then I somehow must’ve pressed the wrong sequence of stop, edit and save in my slide recording program – I went three slides that I thought I recorded, but actually not. Sigh. At least the first live class meeting last night, that I want the two monitors for in the first place, went well. Although it meant that I didn’t get home till 7:30. I’d probably eaten enough for the whole day, but had some ice cream anyways. With green tomato mincemeat. I just felt like I deserved it. I think I might just go ahead and eat too much today, too.
