Travelogue
This has been a busy week.
On Sunday evening, my uncle flew in from Seattle and so I joined my parents in doing various touristy, fun activities with him for the first few days of the week. We went down the Great River Road in Illinois one day; the next, we made our way through Defiance and Augusta on the Missouri side. We also played quite a few hours of various card games each night. All and all, it was a whirlwind, but a fun to get to visit with him.
On Wednesday, he and my dad headed to Indiana to spend some time there with my grandfather. My mom and I joined them yesterday for my grandpa's 90th birthday parties — a small party last night and a luncheon with more of the family today.
While it has been spring break at seminary, I have more than enough reading and projects to work on to fill an otherwise empty week. Not surprisingly, I have not finished everything I need to get done yet. But, hope springs eternal: I still have until Tuesday night before my first class of the week — perhaps I can check off a few more tasks by then.
I learned an important lesson this Spring Break: Breaks are good. I used mine as an opportunity to get more work done. The result was overworking the last few days of the break while fighting a nasty migraine, only to miss class Monday and spend the first half of this week in bed. Looking at the big picture, I probably would have accomplished more if I'd taken time off, instead.
I'm glad you had a good time with family.
Thanks, Caedmon!
Yes, time off is wise (I don't listen to that, though). I hope you are feeling better…
