This last stint has probably been the longest I’ve gone without blogging since I began posting regularly some 4 or so years ago. It has now officially been 14 days.
I’ve considered blogging breaks before, but never too seriously-and I didn’t end up planning this one at all.
I’ve just been busy.
In no particular order, here’s what I’ve been doing with my time.
Working
I’ve mentioned a bit about work, but haven’t mentioned (that I remember) that I’ve been acting as interim Director of Dining Services at my facility in Columbus while my dietary manager has been gone on leave. This has been in addition to my other duties which have been extensive due to my other dietary managers needing to take leave as well. My manager in Columbus will not be returning and I am pleased to announce that, as of next Monday, I will no longer be traveling. I will be giving up my two long-distance buildings and will be the RD/Director of Dining Services for Columbus.
Teaching
Teaching Sunday School continues to be a delight. It is much easier this year since I have a great curriculum and helpers-but it continues to take time.
Learning
My national professional conference just finished up today in Philly-and I’ve been here soaking up classroom time. I’ve also been tweeting from the conference, which has involved learning how to use the touchscreen of a borrowed tablet.
Sightseeing
I did take the afternoon after the conference to see the most important Philly sights (that is, but the historical ones). The loaned tablet came in handy for snapping pictures of myself with the Liberty Bell and at Independence Hall.
With Daniel
Before I flew out, Daniel and I got to spend some time together. We spent some time in the city-but also some time just hanging out at his brother and sister-in-law’s house (where I was staying). Daniel’s adorable niece (almost 4 years old) took some pictures of us-which means I can let you see him (albeit a facial-hair-less version of him, which is unlikely to last long).
I’m so glad you won’t be traveling any more — I don’t know how you could have kept up that schedule for long.
Sounds like a very full, busy, enjoyable life!
And your arms are around each other! (Well, his arms are around you, I guess.) *gasp* :D YAY for pictures! :D
YAY for not having to travel so much anymore! Goodness, that should bring a little rest and peace to your world. I’m glad for that!
What a great time you’ve been having! It’s so nice to finally “meet” Daniel. You look nice together!
I see two very happy looking people! Have fun on your blogging break. Also, you might have a new Twitter follower in a few seconds.
It’s always nice to see pictures of you.
It’s *especially* nice to see a picture of you with Daniel. ;-)
I’m so happy for the good things God has blessed you with recently!
