- Write grad school papers and read 50 pages+ per day of academic enlightening/nonsense articles/books.
- Make lesson plans and email them to all the other grad instructors I coordinate.
- Teach eager minds the basics of music or the essentials of flute-playing.
- Write my own flute tutor and get it published.
- Pass off extra courses for my degree while enrolled in a full schedule.
- Etc.
Now my grand plans include things like washing poop off things and trying to shower. And the really grand ones are things like cooking and figuring out how to wipe personal information off an old computer that needs to get out because I can't take the clutter anymore, ack. (And barring success at the latter, tearing into said computer and removing the hard drive so we can smash it with a hammer, Izma-style.) But given that I have someone smiling and cooing at me much more often than I ever did in school, it is much more fulfilling.
So having baked cornbread twice this week is a big accomplishment. (I hate cooking - if I'm going to create something time-consuming, I would rather be sewing. Or at least trying to get better at piano.) And I'm kinda sad I didn't try to make gluten free cornbread from scratch before. Because those dang mixes are expensive. And the stuff from scratch isn't much more time consuming. In fact, I'm thinking I'll just make some of my own mixes ahead of time once I know I'm thoroughly happy with my ingredient ratios.
And here's some gratuitous cuteness, since I haven't been able to blog from my stinking phone that has all the pictures:
