Order of Operations
This is a crucial part of learning how to perform calculations and how to deal with life and all of its challenges. I'm starting to believe that the world and my fate is part of a large field calculation and that it is a good thing to step back and look at where things may go wrong and fix them.
I'm also a big believer these days in object oriented living. Taking things down to their component parts and reusing and referencing them, saving time and redundancy.
I wish the rest of the world felt the same way.

All of the tracking
That's my kind of #5aday - thanks @simplymeasured #liftsocial

I started tracking my food again - it is not helping. I am still eating way too much sugar. I'm still not getting enough of the green stuff.
I'm still eating like a four year old with a somewhat sophisticated palate.
At the same time, I'm making reservations for Michelin starred restaurants for my December trip to Paris.
Go figure.

Tuesdays
that feel like Mondays are hard.
I could use do over of Monday with part of Tuesday to boot. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.
I wish I had more to say, but my mind is filled with calculations, bar charts and thinking about what Thanksgiving will bring.

Real life
There is something to be said for flying from LA and going straight to the office. This followed by spending an hour in traffic to sit for another three hours in class and then to come home to stream a sitcom and eat mediocre soup dumplings.
Nothing changes on the return to Seattle except for the 40 lbs of fruit we hauled back. There are the same bills, bags to unpack and the same spreadsheet you were happy to close on Tuesday hasn't miraculously fixed itself. I sometimes wish this were not the case.
I am glad to be home for the next month to deal with all of this and more.
Happy Thursday.

Hump Day
This year I have seen some spectacular things - Swaths of snowdrops in Lincolnshire, the back roads of Southeastern Tennessee, Monet's Giverny in full bloom, Great Dixter at a quiet time of year, the Columbia Gorge with its salmon heading home to spawn, the northern New Mexico landscape in the winter and fall and the view below the Golden Gate Bridge by boat. Today, I finally made it to Joshua Tree.
In one word, amazing.
We didn't hike or pull off the road to see every marker or scenic point, but the drive and views were spectacular at 35 miles an hour. The park is not too crowded this time of year and the weather was magnificently brisk, but manageable. It made me realize that there are so many things I have yet to experience. It has inspired me to start thinking and planning new travel itineraries.
All in all a pretty awesome hump day.
