I’m kind of surprised I haven’t had an emotional breakdown yet. I think I have my wife and colleagues to thank for that. My back is killing me at times though, I’m probably sitting in chairs that cause bad posture. Last year (2015) I made it to some shows at the Ottawa Fringe Festival - but last year was also local strike action with no report card comments, plus I wasn’t teaching Data Management. Don’t think it’ll happen this year.
Item counts run Sunday (June 19) to Saturday (June 25).
Step Count: About 43,250.
This whole month has gone to hell. Last Sunday I had under 2,500 steps in a day for the first time since November 2015. I just didn’t care.

| Desk at Work: More cluttered, fewer binders. |
Part of the reason the desk looks worse is because I had to move all of the items out of my classroom on Monday, since the care staff needed in to wax the floors before summer school (on July 4). I’ve started bringing home a couple of binders every day though, to minimize the impact this Thursday.
Teaching Related Items (from Sun to Sat):
-Finished grading a set of tasks. I forget when.
-Finished grading a set of Summatives (1)
-Finished grading a set of Summatives (2)
-Finished grading a set of Summatives (3)

| Desk at Home: Unboxed Nanoha figures |
Funny story. Just as I thought I was done writing to a deadline, a “guest post” availability came up at the serial “Legion of Nothing”. (I previously wrote an April Fool entry for Jim’s site, you can read about that here.) From Monday morning, I basically had 24 hours to get him something. And I couldn’t pass up that chance for visibility. Between that and relaunching T&T, the desk is messier.
Writing/Art Related Items (from Sun to Sat):
-Finished drawing/inking a math comic by Monday; also scripted the next.
-Came up with an idea, then wrote about 1,680 words of a “Time & Tied” short story.
-Drew, scanned and edited a new cover for “T&T” Book 3.
-Queued up “T&T” post, tidied up serial website a bit (including links + “About Me”)
-Minor edit tweaks to “Time & Tied” parts 1-8 (more ***s).
-This post. Written at the above desk.
Other items (not teaching or writing) for the past week:
-Went to another colleague’s retirement celebration for a while
-Mailed off some key letters (including a card for my dad’s birthday)
