Turns out it was my new phone,

I need more coffee. I read this as the lead to: 'which detects carbon monoxide' and was confused.

Just sent a really goofy proposal to my pals at the U. where I taught until we moved - who knows, but I'm trying to stretch my brain. And get them to hire me as a distance-education-program-coordinator. Either before or after they create the program. Possibly, I should have waited until I had more coffee.

Our new house is all painted and the floor guys start today. A week from Wednesday, we should be able to put things on the floor!

hooray for pretty floors and walls!

much health~ma for Grace.

I hope Grace is feeling better soon, Kat.

~~~~~Get well soon, Gracie!~~~~~

much ~ma for Kat and Grace and K and Lori.

I've skipped. I've skimmed. I'm vibing hard for Gracie to feel better very soon.

When I finally convinced myself to get up and check it out, it turned out I had left my ipod playing all night, and the scratching and banging was really the sound emanating from the earpod!

I hate that weird-noise-when-you're-asleep thing. One time, I would have sworn I heard neighbors having sex in the night (which used to happen in previous apartments), but then I remembered I can't hear any neighbors from my new bedroom, and it was my cat snoring!

If you're going to advertise an adjunct faculty position, wouldn't you include something about the hours (night school or day, for instance), or perhaps at least what campus? I know, I know, call and ask, but I want everything to be on the Web for me, dammit!

Also, I want the kids in the study hall in my room to stop with the darned music already.

I have four smoke alarms in the rental. One of them started the every thirty seconds beep that I think means I need to change the battery at 5 am, but stopped as soon as I got up to figure out which one was beeping.

None in the new house. Need to get some. Never had a CO alarm before, but I think I will get one of those, also.

Gotta get over to the new house for 8am in case the cable guy decides to show up then. This requires getting dressed. Gronk is getting in my way.

I have a CO detector, but it needs batteries. I don't think I actually have any smoke detectors! That seems wrong.

Here's a random funny: the woman I was squished up against on the subway this morning was reading a book that she had inside a zip-up cover. So I assumed it was a bible, until I was squooshed behind her and saw that it was a cheesy romance! Which made me wonder why she had her cheesy romance in a fancy cover.

Jesse-

That is pretty common around here (maybe she is from Rochester?). People seem to want to cover up that they are reading a cheesy romance novel!
