I Can Get Some Satisfaction

While my students are traveling near and far over this week of Spring Break I am happily hanging out right here at home in Alexandria, VA.  The daily pace is much slower than it would be if I were at work, and really that's just the kind of break I've been looking forward to.
I'm keeping my list of projects to a minimum this week, doing so allows for more moments of gratification and satisfaction. Take today, for example, I woke up without the alarm, met a friend for a manicure, did some shopping and got my daily intake of vitamin D with a little time in the sun.  Satisfaction, indeed.
