plaid power

A 12-hour day at work, but a nice set of classes, and I even found time to read between meetings, so it was nice all around. 

Just a few more weeks of teaching and then it'll be winter break... 

I'll really need to get back to writing at that point. Work on every project has been stalled for weeks--I easily write 1000s of words every day, but it's usually in service of someone else (rec. letters, references, reviews, etc.). I'm looking forward to prioritizing my work again soon.

Pic: Plaid is big on our campus because of our Scottish roots. Today in honor of an evening reception, I had on plaid blouse, plaid pants (OK, leggings--since the pandemic, I so rarely wear actual pants anymore), and plaid socks for the win.

Ooooh I like those pants!
I need a few weeks of solid writing work - things have been too distracting lately!

I need to get my plaid on! I think that's a pattern that always connotes warmth and coziness.

LOL. So much plaid! I like how it all works together somehow, though. Great job pattern mixing AND showing school pride.
