Spring Break Pics: NYC/San Fran!

A few sick days have afforded me the time to obsess over a few non-essential, yet rewarding projects. I've organized my photos in iphoto and have used the "faces" feature to tag every face in every picture. Why you ask? Because it's so cool. And now when I pull out my photos on my iphone, I can show you a folder of just pictures of me, or Franklin, or my mom.

I also sorted through my spring break pictures and chose the best to upload to flickr.  Click here to see the whole set. 

Right now, I'm watching Sondheim's "Company" and waiting on a UPS delivery, which I hope comes before I take Franklin to the vet.  He's still itching due to allergies, despite a few weeks of natural supplements the vet prescribed.  Also to do: drop off recycling (we've suspended our recycling practices for the last few months simply because our bins are full), fix one of our kitchen drawers, and pick up photos I had printed at Walgreens that I'm going to put in two sweet frames that I've had sitting in the closet for over a year, and mop the floors.

These past few days, I've been home with viral conjunctivitis (pink eye) and a wicked rash on my arms and neck that the dermatologist thinks is a slight allergic reaction to antibiotics I was on last week for strep throat.  Thank God this all happened after my students' spring concert last Thursday.  It seems that my body was holding on to get me through and has now demanded a break.  And it's ok.  It's a good reminder to take a little better care of my body.  A little sickness gets me in touch with my body, forces me to slow down and pay attention. 

Update: the UPS guy just delivered my package.  Moving on.
