I'm ok, anna. Now that school has started, I can't be on Mudcat except, briefly, in the evenings & on the weekends. I spent so much time this summer that I am having to work harder on my lesson-planning now. I'm making progress, though. My daily routine involves getting up at 5 am, leaving home at 6 am (in the dark), & driving for an hour. I usually get home at about 4 pm & try to get to bed between 9 & 10 pm--w/ some laundry, cooking, eating, cleaning up, & misc. house stuff in between. Sounds pretty dull, huh. It's a drag needing to make a living, but what's the alternative? What *I* want to know is "Where's Animaterra?" Today's her birthday!

love,

Barbara (bbc)
