DJ, I'm so sorry. What a terrible tragedy.

vw, YAY good night's sleep!

GC and Nora, can't wait to see the new 'do.

Aims, YAY positive therapy mindset.

Robin, I hope your surgery goes well and that you heal quickly.

I'll save my happy birthdays for Cindy for tomorrow so she won't be sad.

Sean, call us if we can do anything for you or S.

Gronk. We went to bed really late (I didn't finish grading until midnight and needed a couple of hours to unwind), and then Drew woke up at 3AM in a horrible coughing fit. He thinks he inhaled something in his sleep, because it was one of those awful, uncontrollable, burning coughing fits that goes on forever. We were both up for 30 minutes while he coughed, tried to recover, and tried to fall back to sleep. Needless to say, I am far from rested this morning.

Now I need to start grading, and I'm already sick of it. Sigh. I think I may need to venture out to a coffee shop in order to encourage my productivity. I friggin' hate being on this tight of a grading schedule. t /whine

Ah, who am I kidding--I'm not going to stop whining until it's over Tuesday morning. I am not channeling my attitude as successfully or healthily as the Empress, I fear.

If it makes you feel any better, I just flipped off a guy on the phone.

And I did NOT mean to give him a thumbs up.

If anyone's in a gender analysis mood.

You should talk to SA. Her brain's still filled to the brim with feminist studies.

Poor Kristin and the grading load. It never ends! Or rather, It Ends On Tuesday.

Okay, that made me laugh.

Did you enjoy the show last night? Was it a good date? Was Drew the perfect gentlemen, or should I knock him around a little?

Poor Kristin and the grading load. It never ends! Or rather, It Ends On Tuesday.

Indeed it does. And then I'll have a bit of a reprieve as I start teaching the new poetry unit. Yay! I love teaching poetry.

Well, any excuse is a good one for that.

Normally I'd have a ton to say about that topic, Nora, but my brain is running on empty at the moment. I'm sorry I can't help!

You and me both! I am not in panic mode or anything, I'm just trying to get stuff at least started. Ima get away from Teh Internets for a bit and see if I can focus.

Daisy Jane -- I'm so sorry for your loss. How shocking and horrifying that must have been.

I did enjoy the show! I want to be in and play Betty Jean.

It was a great date.

Drew was the perfect gentleman. Dammit. I was hoping for inappropraite groping. Instead, I got the aisle seat and Vernor's.

What are everyone's plans for the weekend? We're going over Mom's for dinner tonight, because she and my stepdad have been away all week. Tomorrow we have to clear out of the apartment for a while so that it can be shown, so we're going to do some errands and then the landlord is supposed to come over and fix the hole in the closet. Keeping my fingers crossed that if fixes the smoke problem.
