Uh-oh. There's a megatherium in my backyard. At least I know who to blame, Cass! t glares

Blame the scientist, I was only being a journalist...

Everything is my fault. Even when I'm not really here.

Sail, I'm sorry.

Nilly! Cass! Theo!

I am awake. I have been awake since 4:30. My brain, she is a strange creature. I still hit the snooze button when my alarm went off at 5:45. Why?

I am also now at work in my plan period, aka OMGWTF I Don't Have Lessons for Today Yet and Kids Will Be Here Soon.

A slight exaggeration, but only slight.

Everything is my fault. Even when I'm not really here.

Kristin, I hope you get your lessons planned and have snuck out for coffee already if you are up this early. Hazelllllllnutt....

I am unwound which leans toward the idea of sleep. Just that I was looking for this about six hours ago.

Cass, where is your tagline from?

I think I fall in love with people and give them pieces. I don't know if I am going to end up a whole person, with bits of me in different places, owned by different people.

(Also, not here. Trying to finish checking the exercises I had to grade last week. And, well, grading needs taking breaks. Ask Burrell or Kat or anybody. Not Kristin, though - she seems to have her hands full this morning).

Cass, can you jump on IM for a second, if you're still up?

I do have coffee. I also have finished planning my lessons. The nice thing about eight years of teaching experience is it gives you a wealth to draw on when you're a little behind. Thank goodness.

Nilly, it's so nice to (not) see you! I haven't posted with you in ages. Also, I made an icon out of that picture of us at Deb's (the one about which everyone made fun how big the drink looked compared to us). I thought you might like to see: [link removed]

Nilly, the tag is just part of an IM discussion I had with a very dear friend the other day. She told me that I might want to keep the whole discussion, but especially that thought. So I guess it is mine.

My divorce is final now and DxH has moved to a different state. Which logically is good and emotionally is hell.

At the same time, I am learning how to start a friendship with the woman who married a very significant xBF of mine, who is still a dear friend. We talked on the phone for a couple of hours on Friday which was nice and plan to meet next weekend.

I am looking and touching and poking to see what of me, is really mine. And what parts are really owned by others.

I think this is the most significant thing many of us do in our lifetimes.
