Heavy Sigh

Andrew just left to go back to Shreveport. We decided that I couldn't ride with him because tomorrow (Sunday) is going to be a really heavy air traffic day, and I'd likely get stuck in Dallas. The next time we'll be together will be at Christmas break, I guess. It's not too long, really! So we've been making our holiday plans, or trying to, and deciding when to travel. I think we'll probably go over to Florida around the 20th of December, then back here after Christmas and spend New Year's here, then he'll head back to S'port sometime a few days later (I'll go with him that time, and fly back here when he starts classes again.) After January it'll be a little easier, cause I could go up there whenever it's convenient, since I won't be teaching. As long as I'm working well on the dissertation.

Speaking of that, the dissertation fairies visited in my sleep last night-- I got some great ideas for how to work on the issue of feminism as choice (sort of) in the intro, and throughout. It was an interesting dream, and I remember it very strongly. I'll describe it another time, though, since I am feeling sad cause Andrew's leaving. Please let the road trip be smooth and not trafficky for him, and let the Starbuck's all be open & the road angels be on point. :)
