How nice it was to visit the schlickbernds today. It felt like a tutors visit to an victorian family, except everyone was laughing and having a good time. I felt very welcome and present in the moment.

I am, however, in a bit of a panic now about jobs. I wake up and realize I havent taught in half a year. I have spent that time writing, and too slowly. Life can go by so quickly if you let it. I must stand more firmly on my own feet.
