Events of Note: Unit 6 begins.

* I've been up early, this morning, reading, writing and trying to get prepped and primed for this week's new unit. Trying to get a slight jump on lesser tasks so that I can focus on the bigger picture. In addition, the housework is building back up again (it never ends, and is a thankless task, besides). Once our daughter arrives home from preschool at lunchtime, we are off to do a bit of shopping and to bake some chocolate chip cookies. Nothing quite like the well-timed scent of freshly-baked cookie dough wafting through the house. My husband has now downloaded more music to my Ipod, which I'll need while I'm ploughing through my research, this week. My extended studying for A&P is really paying off, too, with mostly perfect marks all of the way through. Now, I need to switch around and concentrate on Comp II more closely. Swings and roundabouts.

* Before I become too bogged down though, I'm off to do my routine online reading for my day, and a few stretches. Sitting in front of the computer so much can become 'old' fast!.

* One of our female guinea pigs gave birth to the cutest little cubby, yesterday. Last night, the baby was already tentatively eating watermelon right out of my hand. Such a character!. It'll be about six weeks before we'll be able to accurately determine the gender.

Good luck for Unit 6!. See you on DB, shortly!.
