Catching up

I managed to change one of my work days and have spent the day catching up on things. A bit of a late start meant I felt a bit more rested. I knew it was later waking up because when I rolled over and looked out the window even though it was still darkish the light on top of the Sheraton Hotel (on 7th Avenue) was turned off and that usually goes off around 6am so with a contented sigh I rolled over again and napped until it was lighter.
It was a bright sunny morning with the sun streaming in the windows so during breakfast I took a photo of the way the orchid was so beautifully lit.

My day continued in a fairly leisurely fashion although I worked at my computer getting together units of work for teachers in my school I work in on Fridays. I'm actually quite pleased with the work I put together so I hope they are!
It took much of the day to get it all organized which is a sign of the complexity of it not my slwoness at getting something done.
Debbie had posted the new class on journaling showing the character of the subjects on the page and I was keen to do something with it- not the least of which was I don't want to get behind. I'm happy with the page I did using some of my Christmas photos and so still felt a bit blue from thoughts of no letters from Maddy and chose to do an Art Journal page about it. That made me even more teary but it is such good therapy getting it down on paper. I used my Sunday routine as the focus partially prompted by looking back at my albums I've made in the Scrap Your and Everyday Life classes. One page was about my Sunday morning routine which included in large part, writing to Maddy.
Later in the day Julia visited on her way to bookclub and she looked at the page and it made her teary too so I think I got it right.
Bookclub was a small affain discussing The Catcher in the Rye- I didn't reread it again but enjoyed the discussion and talking about the parts of New York Salinger wrote about- not just places but the way things appear and happen- nothing has changed all that much- other than that Times Square is a lot more civlized than when he wrote about it.
It wasn't too late and evening as we all have to work and getting up in the morning after a late evening early in the week is a tad difficult.
