Nora, the hissing and growling are the only signs that I find remotely worrisome (from experience with my Brother's cats), but from what I understand, if they really are getting into it, you will know, because cat fights (as opposed to play fighting) are nasty.

Thanks, everyone. The whole thing breaks my heart. I think I'm still in denial that I may never see her again.

((((Kristin)))) I don't know if you've gone through anything like it before, but nothing freaks out high school students like the death of a classmate from illness.

Unfortunately, I have lost a number of students or former students over the past 12 years, so I'm acutely aware of how much a death impacts the community. My only experience with a student dying unexpectedly from illness, however, is personal. One of my classmates died two months before our graduation from sudden heart failure. It was pretty horrific, and I'm dreading going through it again.

In completely other news, I need a good sample sentence for the word "agency" (as in the capacity to make choices/have power in the world) that my students will understand, and I'm drawing a blank. Ideas?

Could you use it in the context of voting? Or, in the context of countries where they *don't* have the right to vote?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, does anyone have a rec for a moisturizer plus sunscreen? I've decided I'm not crazy about my old one.

Ok, on top of all the other drama related to selling my house, now the buyer wants to extend the closing date which will mean I'll have to write a check to seal the deal. We had tightened this deal such that we were basically at a net zero so extending it by anything incurs more tax and interest... Man, I just want this over with, but I don't have the extra cash in my back pocket to cover this.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
