Happy birthday, Sheryl!
It'll mostly be good that it's done, but yeah. I felt the same way about my undergraduate thesis and master's project. HATE. But I'm looking forward to the relief. The good thing there was that I'd gotten another chunk done, was the thing.
You know what I hate? A lack of page length requirements. I know you should just write what needs to be written, but let's be honest. If the teacher's thinking "paragraph" and you write four pages, you've essentially done a different assignment. I'm not trying to weasel out of real work by asking how many pages are expected, I'm trying to get a feel for the actual assignment.
I am totally Emily in every way right now.
My good thing for the day: Half-price Easter candy! I brought a big handful of stuff up to the counter, and it came to three bucks! Even the checker was impressed.
And yet, I am still sleepy and grumpy. At least I'm not sneezy. Or Doc.
I just got an email from a childhood friend containing pictures of her new nephew! I didn't even know her sister was pregnant again. Also, I didn't know it was her nephew (nor who was the mother) until I got to the picture of V with her husband, son and new baby. Last time I saw V? She was 14.
I think this may be the single greatest new story I have ever read. I mean, the headline alone!
Cat Army Annihilates Destructive Rats:
A group of villagers recently prepared a sumptuous fish banquet for more than 200 cats to thank them for eradicating rats from their farmland.
Yangmei villagers in Sanjiang Township of Xinhui District in the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, are expecting a good harvest this year thanks to the hard-working cats.
The village committee spent more than 12,000 yuan (US$1,500) to buy more than 200 cats, which they released onto farmland to help wipe out the rat problem.
Sanjiang Village has 86.67 hectares of rice fields and 13.33 hectares of other crops and suffered from a rat infestation after most of the snakes were caught and slaughtered by local villagers in previous years.

Especially if get the gumption to take it Jillier.
Do you need stripy tights? I can send you stripy tights.
("You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress.")
Isn't this how Hawaii got a mongoose problem?
I'd only choose between them based on the rhythm of the entire sentence.
