Here, though massively behind everywhere online. Apparently I have such severe tendonitis in my right hand that I'm not supposed to be writing or typing much at all. Hm. Interesting since I was planning to grade the final 58 exams and 4 creative writing portfolios today. Huh. It hurts like hell, but the wrist brace and Aleve are helping.

Oh, and the tendonitis? From the previous three weeks of comment-writing on essays. Teaching is a dangerous profession. @@ at self.

Oh, and since using the little touchpad to scroll on my laptop is extremely bad for my hand, I likely won't be able to be online much for the next few days. Miss you guys, though.

I believe I missed several birthdays, so belated happies to you! Also much ~ma to FredPete, Hubs, and Teddy and to anyone else who needs it.

Kristin, hope you feel better soon!

I sympathize with you about the grading. I'm staring at term papers, and a host of various Drama assignments. I'm determined to get them all done this weekend...if my back will stop aching and my head will stop hurting. I think I will have to go to the chiropractor to get a little relief.

Argh! My iPhone won't work. I haven't activated it yet, with the switchover from the old phone, etc, but I figured I could download some music, podcasts, etc. Nope. All I can do is emergency use. ARGH.

51! I knew I wouldn't be top. Stupid work. Don't we know what's important?!? And I'm tired of "almost got shagged", it's the story of my LIFE! ::/whine:: ;-)

KT, agg, that sucks! Can you mouse with your left hand? single hand type with left and type out comments? Either way, so not good.

Happy b-days to thems that it's their day! Whheeeee!!!

OK, back to work with me. I swear, I'm not here. really.

Vibes for Teddy! I hope it's nothing Fred.

Happy Birthdays!!! (Today is my mom's birthday too)

Said goodbye to friend last night. I wish K could have been with us, but I'm sure he's busy with his daughter for the holidays. Sad, but again, we'll keep in touch and I'll get to visit Sydney.

I'm at home with a cold/generally sick thing. Need to venture out to take care of friends' cats though.

happy birthday quester and emily

The ride to the Bahamas from Miami is crazy noisy and shaky, and a blast.

okay, Laura, your idea of fun and mine are unmatchy! That sounds scary. But float planes freak me out too.

Remember how I posted last week about how TCG and I keep closing down restaurants where we celebrate anniversaries, etc? Well we just exchanged our anniversary gifts, and he wrote me a cute note that said, "let's go close down" the restaurant we're going to tonight. He's too cute.

Have a wonderful time with cutiehead TCG, sj.

The seaplane experience would scare me to death if it wasn't over water. I'm not afraid of water. The Chalks planes shook so bad when they were taking off on the water that you thought the wings would break off. It could be that the laughter that accompanied takeoff was of the hysterical variety.
