I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I would explain it, but it has nothing to so with single-sex education, so right now, I don't care. Ask me again tomorrow. Although, then, I'd like as not quote Who at you, so there you go.

What is even happening?

So that's why I woke up about an hour ago. Tommy was singing, then he and Debet started sniping. Bad children. No biscuit.

I didn't mean to snipe. Just to comment on the state of my life and brain right now. Did it come off snipe-y? If so, I apologize.

If you need something to put you back to sleep, Cindy, I've got some lovely academic papers...

No, I was just trying to give a too-early-morning rendition of, "Offa my lawn." (I didn't seriously think either of you were doing anything other than goofing.)

The lovely academic papers sound...lovely, Abi, but it's almost 6 here now, which means the children will be up in 30-45 minutes, and I've been drinking coffee for an hour, anyhow.

You sure? I bet I could find soemthing to give you a good 20 minutes.

I'm up to 15 pages. Just 3 more. And then find someone to read it, and make sure it's not in ancient monkey language. I don't think the prof speaks Ancient Simian.

Thank you. I bet you could find me something to give me 20 minutes, but I always find waking up so difficult, that if I do it much after 4 or 4:30 by accident, I just stay up, and enjoy my coffee and intertubes in the quite of the house. I think I just heard someone stir upstairs, anyhow.

I have been up and *working* thanks to the joys of remote desktop access. And have a quiet wiggly boy and a cup of tea. But I think the next step is a shower.

Gooooooooooood morning. Hi flea! I'm glad your wiggly boy is doing well.

I had a sausage roll for breakfast. Here, it's kind of like eating a hot dog wrapped in filo dough: kind of disgusting, but still somehow appetizing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Morning, SA. Normally, the sausage roll would sound interesting, but, today, anything even slightly greasy just sounds nauseous-making.

(2 pages. Actually, likely 1 page and a couple/few more references.)

Mmm. I wouldn't reccomend it myself, but since I'd already had toast with jam but still wanted something from the little French bistro on my way to the bus stop, I took whatever savoury item I could get.

What are you writing? I'm sure I know but I've forgotten. And did you take the Colorado teaching gig?
