You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I say we all go home and pretend today is not happening.

Yes please.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I may have accomplished something today. I'm kind of weirded out at the idea, but tentatively pleased.

weirded out that you accomplished something or by the thing you accomplished?

I am dying trying to get something in writing about my unavailability. Gr. ARgh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was a herding cats sort of a task, so it feels weird to finally have it checked off. No worries--I'm sure its place will be filled with five more catherding tasks before lunch is over. Speaking of which, where is my appetite? I didn't even make it through breakfast popcorn!

Speaking of food, my sister wants me to pimp her friend's food blog. I haven't had a chance to look at it in detail, but it is certainly very pretty, and my sister is the sort of person that makes friends with the kind of obsessives that would make good quality blog, iffen you know what I mean.

What unavailability, Kat?

Well, I'm on loan to your employer, ita, until May 31. The contract with your employer and the district ends on May 21. I am being picked up for an extra month at School Site A for the month of June. In my mind and your employer's mind, I am therefore not able to work at the School Site (especially legally since the contract is done) from May 22 to June 1. The principal doesn't like that idea.

I'm annoyed because I can't get that slide show to work, all it gives me is a stupid ad for Dodge. Lame-o. And I so wanted some distraction from grading.

I'm stoked! There's a Milk and Bookies event (which benefits First Book) at the end of the month that I'll take Noah too. But what cracks me up is how Hadyn What'shername looks in the picture of her reading at the last event.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I felt dizzy when I stood up to go to lunch about an hour ago and mentioned it to the receptionist while I was chatting with her after I got my meal to eat back at my desk. She very sweetly sent over one of our trained CPR employees to make sure I was all right just now!

(I'm not as lightheaded due to actually eating something solid for the first time since yesterday's breakfast, but I cannot get warm, no matter how hard I try.)

Er, that's not good Kathy. Can you go home and get some quality bed time in?
