I'm still here

I'm just not posting because I am yet again caught in the midst of paper writing hell, well perhaps hell is an exaggeration . . . for now. It's finals week and I have a paper to write and after tomorrow evening will also have exams to grade. I've already done my usual share of procrastinating so now I'm buckling down to work . . . a rare occurrence I know *smile*

I'll be back soon with lots more time to post once classes are over with for the summer. And I promise I'll have lovely and enthralling things to say . . . probably not but at least more amusing than whining about paper writing, right?

For now let me leave you with this, after a week of gloriously warm and sunny days we've had a day or so of rain. Rain that was completely satisfactory in every way. There were big droplets of rain that I could hear hitting the bamboo leaves outside the window as I read and the thunder was rumbling in the distance. Perfection.
