I got some bad news yesterday – my great aunt passed away. She’d been fighting an illness for a while now and while I wasn’t all that close to her, it was still sad to hear. Seems like its been a rough time for our family recently – my aunt and now my great aunt passing away, another aunt fighting a brain tumor, my grandmother still in a nursing home and not getting better. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
In brighter news… I got to see my niece (and her mom and dad) this past weekend. We all had a nice visit and she was a sweetie – at least during the day. At night, well, I had earplugs in. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

I’ve been fighting a cold the past few days and it, along with a late night and too much exciting TV, meant I didn’t get to sleep until around 1 AM last night. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the flip side, it’s been hot here in the computer center. Right now, my little temperature gauge on my desk is reading 79.5 F. We were in the mid-80’s yesterday afternoon and some buildings on campus reported temps in the 90’s. Our heating and cooling is determined not by outdoor temperature – but by time of year. And it’s not yet time to switch over to cooling. I’m actually okay with temps in the 80’s, but only when I’m on a beach with a cool drink in my hand and a gentle ocean breeze. In an office staring at a computer screen, it’s really not pleasant. I’m still better off than the students though – imagine trying to sit through a lecture with those temperatures.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At least it’s a swimming day – I’ll get cooled off in the pool. Should make the afternoon a little more enjoyable.<\/div>\n
