Run, Run, Run
My "pic of the day" was taken in between hearing from Paul that he had "been hit" and waiting for him to call me back with details, and calling my mom on my cell just to talk to someone before I knew more info. During this time the tree in my church parking lot caught my eye and I had to grab a quick pic of it showing its fall colors while I was talking to my mom. Paul turned out to be ok and our car only had minor damages; we arrived late to the church class only for me to leave early to make it to a 8:30 pm PEK meeting. Whew what a day...I'm still trying to digest it all!

Flowers
Meanwhile Paul looped around the parking lot to the entrance to pick us up and my mom wouldn't get in the car with Paul because it would leave me without an umbrella. Paul didn't understand why she wouldn't get in, and after about four loops, mom got worried about what happened to me so she went back inside the store to look for me. At that same time I soon came outside. Then Paul looped around again and with the heavy rain I wasn't sure if it was our car because I thought there should be two people in the car and I only saw one. So he rolled down the window and yelled for me to get in, and then we had to loop around the parking lot again until my mom gave up the search for me and was outside at the entrance again...all for my flower surprise for her birthday!

Catching Up
Today was a rare day at work free of appointments, meetings and classes and I was able to get caught up on a lot of email and to get a handle on the work that piled up while I was out sick last week.
On a side note, my "pic of the day" is of a large toadstool that arrived after the recent rain along the sidewalk leading up to my apartment. I saw the toadstool yesterday morning as I was leaving for work but the camera I carry on me had dead batteries. When I got home last night it was too dark and rainy to take the pic, so I took this pic before leaving for work this morning even though someone had broken it off from it's stem in the meantime. I love the texture of its top and contrast between the earthy browns and rich greens.

Back at Work
Today I also experienced a taste of what it is like to be a student again. I went to turn in what I thought was my last piece of my PhD application just to find out that a my undergrad transcripts were not carried over in my application like I thought they were. Apparently when one applies as a Master's student and submits all undergrad transcripts after a certain time they go into archives and are NOT included when one reactivates the file and applies to a PhD program. I had a panic with the deadline just two days away and knowing that I did not have at least one of my many undergrad transcripts at home that I could send in a copy of. I had to contact grad admissions and my previous master's dept. office to see if they could resurrect the files, luckily they could. In the process I took my eye glasses off in the bathroom and ended up leaving them there, only to realize about an hour later as I was running between teaching classes and a fieldwork meeting across campus. What a day back! Luckily my mad dash back to the bathroom proved to find my eye glasses in tact, Praise, as goodness knows I can't afford a pair of glasses right now!
I chose this "pic of the day" as a symbol of me "gulping for air"!

Snake
In other news today, I was finally able to tie up loose ends on many work projects, before the three day weekend, that had created extra work for me all week because I was waiting on other folks to do their jobs. TGIF!

A Better Day
I'm starting to see signs of the seasons changing from summer into fall. My "pic of the day" was taken over a week ago of a lilly pad patch where all the blossoms had dried up. Since then, I've seen several tree branches starting to change with fall colors and more leafy green plants starting to give over to the fall season.

Problems
Oddly enough the most sensible thing I ran across all day was a quote that was in my husband's fortune cookie tonight, "You can't solve problems for those people who don't want their problems solved." So true, I think some folks want to stay in a permanent state of "problemhood" or like the attention that problems get them. I chose my "pic of the day" because it would be nice to have a lion scaring away all folks with nonproblem problems.
