My name comes from my work in the islands and the fact that I spend 2/3 of the year teaching. To try to be semi-anonymous I did not want to divulge my research specialty. <br /><br />Last week: <br />1. Get all paperwork for leave done YES<br />2. Get all course readings up to BB and notes to whomever my replacement will be YES<br />3. Make plans to leave for AZ end of week, find help to tend to house while I am away YES<br />4. Meet with undergrads working in my lab, meet with graduate students YES<br />5. Exercise 3x NO 2x<br />6. Organize books/papers to bring with me to AZ for bookwork YES<br /><br />Last week was enormously hard getting ready to take family leave, but I managed to get everything done. I left for my Mom's on Sunday. Much of this week will be spent figuring out how to best help/support my Mom and work out a schedule with her caregivers for what I should do versus what they should do. My exercise program is slipping and I really need to stay on top of that for my stress level/sanity. Things with the rest of my family are not so good, so it's going to be a rough road going forward. But I am so relieved to be able to spend time with my Mom. <br /><br />This week: <br /><br />1. Triage medical visits to the house for my Mom and other things<br />2. Figure out good care giving schedule with other two caregivers<br />3. Read Chapter of PhD student dissertation draft and comment<br />4. Write student letter of recs<br />5. Exercise x 3 <br />6.
