All Play and No Work

The good news is--Dr. J is home for the summer. He's been in Gorgeous City and his Hometown (right next door) for almost a week. I had hoped to get that Chapter Six article out before he arrived but that didn't happen. I was sick right before he arrived and by the time I recovered, the last thing I wanted to do was work.

So we've had a fun few days together--visiting with family, going to the mall, and even a round of miniature golf. Today is beach day. The best thing about Gorgeous City is the coast line, but I haven't been in the water since I moved here. Lucky for me, Dr. J is a waterbaby so he's been itchin for the beach since Memorial Day Weekend. So for the first time in a year, we're headed for the shore!

It has been mostly play and no work. I did, however, finally get the copyeditor's remarks back on a couple of the pieces I did last year, so I revised one of those yesterday and will work on the other tomorrow. I'm finding that it is not easy to find the motivation to work when Dr. J is around. But I know he has an article he needs to get going on with his Chair so we'll settle into a work schedule soon. Dr. J has another campus visit lined up for next week so I'm sure he'll be back into "scholar-mode" soon which will give me some needed inspiration.

Oh yeah, and there is this wedding thing...
