I took advantage today of an opportunity to totally relax. It really isn't because I don't have things that I should be doing. Instead, it is because I decided to just relax. Ray and I did our usual Saturday morning grocery shopping run, but after that, I did everything but the work I should be doing.


For one thing, the fall semester is quickly approaching, and I really should be working on updating the syllabi for the two courses I am teaching this coming semester. There is not a ton of changes that I have to make. I do have to update the calendars to reflect the new year, and I know I have an assignment in each course that I really do want to change/update. I don't think either will take a long time to do. The big part is converting the syllabi so I can set them up in the online interface that we use at URI, which is called Ssakai. it is mostly a lot of copying and pasting and setting up different parts of the site so they are ready for the students. I figure I should be able to do that all tomorrow ... if I am good. LOL!

Instead, I ended up joining some friends for a late lunch and some shopping. I got quite a few gift cards from various people to celebrate by departure from the Greenville Public Library. I bought a desk clock for my new office, a few movies for entertainment, and two Wii games that I have been wnating for a while.


I know that Martin will want to know what I had for lunch and where. We went to Uno Bar & Grill, and I had a favorite of mine that is constantly changing. It is a TURKEY BACON & SWISS sandwich, which is described in the menu as an "All-natural turkey breast with honey mustard, lettuce, tomato and red onion on a three-seeded roll." I really love it, though, they are constantly changing the bread portion of it.

We did the shopping portion of the day after eating. it was fun all around.
