Spring Fever

Outside my window, I can hear the tractor/lawnmower going. Already, they've needed to cut the grass several times since that warm burst of weather back in March.

I love the warm weather and the fact that the days are getting longer. I look forward to getting out more, and cooking outside and maybe, even (I am hoping!) getting a bike and riding to town on Saturday mornings for the farmer's market.

But, right now, I have absolutely no motivation. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I have been less than motivated at work and at home. Not tired, not depressed - just not motivated. I have a dishwasher in the other room that needs emptying, and I pick away at it slowly - eventually it will be done, and I'll have a clean kitchen again. I have clothes that need to be washed and assignments that need to be graded. I have a chapter to complete, and an article to write, and more research to be done.

I know I need to do those things. But right now, I just want to relax and enjoy the sun.

Only the Name has Changed

Several months ago, I changed my name back to my maiden name: Hoefler. In the process of making the change, I had to change everything - drivers license, bank stuff, work papers. Even my email has changed, which means that my account here at Gmail changed. Which means I don't go back to my old account very much. Which is why I haven't posted that much in the past couple of months.

I'm the same person - I haven't changed that much in 4 months. Oh, I've gotten a little slimmer (I'll talk about that more in another post). But still the same person - struggling with the usual life issues, and trying to do my best.
