Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 179

Today's Daily 5:

1. a rather fascinating guest lecturer (he talked about the importance of empathy - particularly fascinating when you know his entire story, including the fact that he had a laryngectomy, and speaks using esophageal speech.)
2. getting some necessary on campus errands accomplished at lunch
3. half-way through the week now
4. the generosity of my parents in helping to temporarily cover off some financial issues that came up last week
5. curling up in bed early with plans for a really quiet, restful evening
