Sunday Morning

It is a glorious fall day out there! I love this time of the year - so crisp, clear, sunny and just a hint of chilly. :-) Doesn't get much nicer than this. My daughter and I took a late afternoon walk through the Wissahickon section of Fairmount Park yesterday. It was lovely. We both love nature so much and Mimi got the added bonus of seeing lots of dogs. It was just such a pleasure to be away from my laptop, be moving and outside. Bliss!

Since the last post I have recruited a few more people, but the scheduling is still very slow going. I performed the survey and interview with two more people and so things are moving. Yay! It is a very exciting phase of the process. I just wish things would move a bit faster in the scheduling department. I am going to spend the next few days transcribing and coding. I think I might try to begin the coding process over again. See if I can recreate it with less chaos. It lacks coherence in a few areas and now that I have more data I can see some themes emerging that I don't know that I captured well in the earlier interviews. So for this week, beyond helping my online students I will work on developing the coding (and of course more recruitment/scheduling). Always lots of fun.

Ok, time to get motivated and out of the house. That fall weather is calling!
