I am taking about two months off of my studies. My company has reassigned me to Richmond, VA, and we have been very busy trying to sell this house and find a new one there. In addition, I have been traveling much more than usual as my work is now there in Richmond. I am also taking a hiatus from my work with the University of Phoenix because of all of these new responsibilities.

We are truly going to miss our lovely home in the country. This is probably the hardest part about deciding to accept the reassignment or not. We are just sick that we must sell this home.

I heard from the person that I ordered the Ethics book from through Amazon and she shipped the book this week. I was hoping that I would have the book by now, because my mother is having knee replacement surgery on Monday. I wanted to start the reading while waiting at the hospital. There will be lots of time to read!

Today (Saturday), we hope to do a few things around the house, because I am caught up on student paper-grading and I have no papers to write for my own class at NCU, as I have not read the text. We plan to hang some curtains that we took down from the family room in the bedroom. We live off the main road, and so we have never had any window coverings at all on some of our windows. I know that when we lived in town, we definitely had curtains and blinds. But out here, unless you know our house is here in the woods, well, you just would not see it.

We also have some house chores to do. The kids are not coming home this weekend, so it is just me and husband. So far, we have read the paper, watched a little TV, and I checked my students’ postings online. I also worked on a little scarf I am knitting and found another really cute crochet scarf pattern on the web to try for my next project.  

I love a lazy day at home! I don’t get very many of them, and it is wonderful to take a little breather from writing and grading and reading.
