the weekend.

phew! I feel as though I blinked and the weekend whirled past... I think as a general rule, whenever I set out to be productive the hours just seem to pick up the pace and pass by before I even have time to think about the things on my to-do list. Another weekend come and gone; I cannot believe that mid-April has already found us. Douglas is busy with his last month of classes: databases, operating systems, and lots of other things I cannot begin to comprehend. I have begun my own programming adventures, however, as I start my web design self-education adventures: a combination of books, online tutorials, and "guess and check" fiddling. I am happy to say that I have actually made quite a bit of progress in the last 48 hours. Aside from our usual work-and-errands weekend routine, Doug and I managed to squeeze in a few beverages, some Ben and Jerry's, and, of course, lots and lots of dreaming.

Now, it is 10:30 and I am in the middle of my regular Sunday night panic attack - when the anxiety begins to set in that tomorrow will come and I, underprepared and without enough sleep as per usual, will have to kiss my sweetheart goodbye until next week. On the plus side, the warmer, sunnier weather seems to be settling in and the school year will slowly start winding down. More time with family and friends, more time out of doors, and more time to put slumbering dreams into action. I can't wait!
