Apparently over in this corner, my computer can see some wireless networks. Attempted to set up printer so I could draw up a getting-to-know-you activity for tomorrow, but was trumped by my lack of scissors. Then decided I would clean up a bit and make sure I had my stuff together, but was too headachey to think straight. Took a hot shower to get rid of headache, ran out of hot water (this is quite mysterious, as I have a water heater in my kitchen). Think I'll attempt sleep now. Tomorrow remains scary. Night!

Good luck tomorrow, Emily!

You'll be great Emily! Congratulations and hopes that excitement keeps the scary away.

First-day-of-school-ma to all Bitches around the globe as needs it.

I think I got an hour, maybe two, of sleep. My eyes are incredibly bloodshot and my head is pounding. And the barista didn't put ice in my freddo! FReddo, people! Frozen!

It has not been a banner weekend.

Poor Raq.

I'm both excited and nervous for the teachers among us with new classrooms. Here's to a brilliant school year.

Good moving vibes, too, for them that needs 'em.

Poor, Raq.

August hasn't been the best month ever. You know what was good though?

May.

I rather liked May. There were bits of early July too. From about the 13th of July on can suck Cheney's left nut sack.

So, first day back at school went pretty well. Kids v. cute, Barney the Dog has gone home with the best behaved (although it was a close call) and school dinner was teh yum. Learning happened. One of them is going to be quite a challenge in terms of learning to socialise and improving his English skills (and if he hasn't got over yelling 'Teacher!' at me by the end of the week he may not see his next birthday - I have a name, I have a big honking namebadge, LEARN IT, KID!!!). However, we survived, and so did the wee'uns.

Today I am starting my Healthy Living thing. Honestly. Which means, I think, that I need to go out for dinner. Because there is nothing to eat at home, and nothing but crap to eat from the corner shop...so I think that I need to go to the pub. Yes. Possibly.

Meanwhile - man, the array of DVDs one can buy here. Pirate DVDs, natch, but at 100 Baht a pop (which is, what, $3 or so?)...well, I'm planning on buying The 4400, The X Files, Desperate Housewives (S2), Lost (S2), Supernatural, Deadwood, and possibly even The Sentinel, just because it's there and there's fic.

Am going to eat, and then mayhap to the gym. Or a swim. Or something. Yes.

Raq, good news is that August is almost over.

Good luck today, Emily!

Fay, new place sounds wonderful and so do the kids.

I was awoken far too early with a binky emergency (Liv lost hers and couldn't find it quick enough). Trying to decide if I want instant coffee or orange juice.

good news is that August is almost over

And not a moment too soon. Cheney's left nut sack is too good for it.

May was good, wasn't it? And September will be nice, and October will be splendiferous.
