some things resolved, some uncertainty remaining

Today I turned down a one-year position in one of the state colleges. It was a tough call, and I worried it (like a dog worries a sock) almost up until the moment I made the call. But I feel relieved now - and we are on a path towards being back in New England.

A celebratory lunch at spoonriver (nice food, but we do as well at home; elegant interior; fun to eat outside on the "terrace" aka sidewalk). Dinner with one of our fellow grads, who successfully defended her diss this morning. Oh, and the house is fully hot-watered again.

I feel much calmer than yesterday. But all this decision-making has set me back about a week with my writing schedule. I probably can't totally make it up - but I'll have to try.
