Up over 3 hours and we have breakfasted successfully on new to mac hot cereal and now have approximately 10 paper airplanes in various places of the living room.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's so fucking awesome, msbelle.

Oh, msbelle! I was just coming to threadsuck Natter and look for reports from you.

My best friend gave birth last week (it's her second son). I thought about you meeting your son each time I thought of her meeting her own new son.

Each time I think I'm not large enough to hold that much joy, I discover that it's still possible. Like your little paper planes from your former post.

Oh msbelle! welcome home to you and welcome to mac! So incredibly exciting.

Polgara, you were up at 3:00?! WHY?!

Chaucer paper still not done. Victorians and Physiognomy almost complete. Now I have to take a final on Bleak House which will not be pretty. This semester will kill me dead.

I'd better feed Muppet, before she eats me. She's already getting to the point of motivational nippage. You wouldn't know she had a tooth out two days ago....

I didn't help any by not waking up until 8 AM, but still.

Go you, msbelle!

Nah. not poop.... even though it's a slog. After this semester, I only have two more classes to go, one is creative writing and the other a 2 week cruise through Hawaii. So these may be the last big researchy based papers I have to write before my thesis.

This semester for a variety of reasons has been the hardest I've had. Chaucer is a deeply humbling experience and Science and the Victorians had a boatload of reading. These reasons coupled with my health stuff and my work stuff have made school incredibly complex. No big. almost done.
