This is my current cozy spot, with a cool breeze from the window behind me.

One knitting project done, more to come!
After two weeks back, it is finally feeling normal to be here again. The first week was soooooo quiet--Alex was doing research in London and most of my friends were still on vacation. I read four books and did a lot of knitting. My next project is a möbius shawl for myself. The cast-on process is so involved that there is a 10 minute video to explain how! Wish me luck...
In the past week, I went back to work, but it was a merciful transition. There were entrance tests to administer and some test marking to do, but otherwise it was eating, drinking tea, and chatting with new and old coworkers. Next week will be much the same! Maybe on Thursday or Friday, I will learn my teaching schedule (for the semester that begins on Monday, Sep 15). Once the semester begins, I will definitely be busy. I expect to teach at least 20 hours per week with about 20 to 25 students on the roster (not all of them will show up). That will be a shock!

Glad to hear you had a pleasant time settling in to the new space. It looks very comfy.
Yes, it is!
The shawl collar arrived in my Michigan mailbox on Thursday, two full weeks before your predicted. It is more beautiful than its photos. Turns out the temperature plummeted, and I wore it in the early morning around the house as I sipped my tea trying to say good-bye to summer. Thank you so much. I will wear it happily.
