Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Man, I so wish I could IM while grading. This is BORING.

This is so true!

All you teachers need to do what my parents did: make your kids grade papers for you! Of course, this only worked because for mom, she was teaching first or second grade when I was in my teens. With dad, it gets a little more iffy because I was grading college students starting in my very early teens. However, just his 101 classes and I knew most of it by osmosis. (Still can't believe he let me!)

All the catfood I have that I can't feed my cats any longer is coming in handy in feeding my neighbor's cat. (Miss Louise, or more properly, her granddaughter who is staying with her/living there/I don't know, has a cat.) Their budget is really tight and she wasn't able to get more food tonight. So I gave away some more that was tucked into the back of the cabinet. I'd meant to drop it at a shelter, but this is as good a cause as any.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yay! I just got an email that a friend of mine had her baby at 4pm today. I was literally just wondering about them this afternoon, so she must have been in labor right then! Eight pounds, born at home, named Zoe. Yay baby!

Wow, Jesse! I like the name...

Man, it sometimes hits me that birthing babies is now a regular event in my circles of friends. And how that's..well, expected at this age, but gee, I'm that age!

I feel good that I have a little gift all ready for when they are ready for visitors! Although I already know that his family was planning on arriving en masse ASAP, which was not cool with her, so I'm sure it'll be a couple/three weeks, if not more.

Jesse, you'll have to check with her, of course, but it has been my experience that even with the influx of slightly-unwanted visitors, sometimes especially!, a welcome visitor is really really welcome. Even more so if you are the no-demands-does-stuff visitor (even if it is just hold the baby so they can sleep.)

Yeah, doesn't work so well for essays, sadly.
