so I have been sick and that always sucks. the Doc I saw thinks it was a stomach bug - whatever it was it was unpleasant, and I don't feel fully recovered yet either. Also Terry Pratchett died on Thursday and that threw me for a complete loop. I knew that I would be sad when my favorite author passed on and it wasn't super unexpected either but the news proved a bit more devastating then I expected. I am sure I will write something on him and his impact on my life at a later date when things are not quite so close.

so last week was not great...and I am happy to be moving on to this week although I have so much to do, and I still need to take it a bit slow.

but there is so much to get done - because next week is Spring Break! I have to be healthy and caught up for that! my best friend is coming down from Seattle to spend five days with me and then I will finish off my break with a weekend trip to LA on a class trip to visit galleries! very exciting stuff people.

In the mean time I have become obsessed with a BBC show called Call the Midwife about a group of midwives and nuns in a poor area of London in the late 1950's I finished the third season and am now running into the frustrating problem that season 4 is airing in the UK but doesn't air here in the states until later this month *Sigh* I do feel that it has added my recovery thought :)

I hope all of you are healthy and happy.

talk to you soon Katie
