Coffee Break

I'm taking a few minutes to have a cup of coffee and blog today. It has been a rainy, overcast week and the temperatures are in the 40s and 50s. I notice people wearing shorts and swim suits in store windows and catalogues and I think the models must not be living here!

I have been digesting the Milan systemic approach to interviewing families this morning and getting ready to write another paper. In my free time, I have started doing more genealogy research. It's been kind of cool, but I have run into a few road blocks along the way. I fear I waited too long to ask about this stuff and a lot of the relatives on my dad's side are now dead. I have noticed there seem to be a lot of cut offs in my family. I'm trying not to follow that pattern and at least check in with the folks now and then.

I dropped in on my favorite dance class last night and then Hubby and I went out for Chinese. Afterwards, we went to a late night book store to write and study. I like it when we have a little weekly ritual like that. Granted I had required reading to do, but it was nice to get away from the house for awhile. Next week, everything is out of sync because I have to take care of a few dogs and will be driving around and staying different places. I love the animals, but I'll have to miss dancing and our little night out together.

I am thinking about summer school. I want to take Creative Writing in Therapy.
