i'm going to take this opportunity to fly back to davis. i barely have enough clothes for a week, and will certainly need to get my winter coat at some point. i'm also planning on grabbing my computer -- my beautiful widescreen lcd monitor is feeling quite lonely right now :) of course, this means i'll have to drive back to omaha instead of fly back.

i fly out thursday. dannie is going to fly out to davis friday, and together we are going to drive back down to omaha. we should be back in omaha by monday, allowing my mom to go back to work sometime next week. dannie will return to san diego on tuesday - so we won't get to see her too much.

since i already have this quarter off, i'm going to spend it all at home. as long as my dad's health holds, i'll return to school at the start of next year. i'm pretty excited. i haven't gotten to spend this kind of time with my family in a long time! of course, i'll be working on my research from home. can't let my mind rot too much!
