Especially when they're endlessly recursive. Sorry about that, but it does help so to get something up here in public that I'm responsible for, and that I can cross out in front of other people, too.

Hoo-boy, the squirrels are nuts today. They've moved into the one wall in my office, apparently. It's raining and windy and crappy out today, so they're having an indoor fun day, running up and down and up and down. The cats usually spend most Indoor Squirrel Fun Days going insane running back and forth at the bottom of the wall, but today they've apparently had enough. They are sleeping, squirrels be damned.
Going up north is like going to the mental health chiropractor. Blessed indeed.
am:
the bed is rumpled
around us; i do not want
to get up and go.
noonish:
class went well; then fell
apart, but the room was bright--
they took care of things fine.
evening:
wet greendark out there;
cats and i are dry inside
he'll be back home soon.
Feeling better, which is nice.
I am opposed to the flu, regardless of kind. SLP's graduation party went off with a bang this weekend, even though his mother, sister, and father were all hit with the flu in the three days before, he got it the night before, and I got it the night after. God willing, we didn't give it to any guests. I aired out the house with a great vengeance all weekend and cleaned all surfaces, and I haven't heard any reports or reproaches yet, so I'm still hopeful.
I made it into work on Tuesday morning for my professional writing class's presentations, but then hit it back home to bed immediately. Have been sleeping or reading since then---makes it 3 days in bed in all, something I haven't done in so long I can't remember when I did last. This morning, I feel reasonably human, but have only been up for just under an hour. Gotta go to work today, though, no compromises, as it's officially the last day of class and I have to pick up final portfolios and watch the last batch of presentations.
Think good thoughts.
Ah, Thursdays...
Accomplished:
- Taught the last 'real' session of the professional writing class that's been driving me nuts. The really awful kid didn't show up, which was just lovely, and things went generally well. All we have left is presentations next week. :)
- My first-year writing course at The Community College also went very well.
- Graded one full batch of Final Portfolios--all stunning, for the most part. Got lots of nice comments back from students about the class being awesome, about me being a good teacher. Super cool.
- Final grades posted for that section--2 C-'s, a handful of Bs, and the rest, all well-deserved As. :) :) :)
- Updated records for the rest of my classes.
- Spent a lovely evening with the in-laws, who are down for SLP's graduation from college this weekend!!
