I just had to explain to a professional economist what "loss aversion" is. I never thought of that as an obscure subject within the field of economics.

For most economists, "people" exist only populations. They often show little interest in the mechanisms of behavioral choice in individuals, even though economics must, by definition, explain the aggregate behavior of large numbers of individuals.

It's a thing.

Still goddamn nauseated. It's not too bad as long as I don't use my core muscles, which given what I do means I'm pretty miserable. Don't ever recall ABs wrecking my stomach like this.

As you were.

Also - you can't even fix one person, which is a lesson I have learned and continue to learn.

Not true. Macroeconomics deals with aggregate choices; microeconomics is entirely concerned with individual choices, and is pretty fundamental to the discipline.

I'm cooking an already prepared at the market french meat pie for dinner tonight. I hope it's good.

Man. I am pretty sure I burned up a star stealing spoons today from my alternate universe self. Sorry, bizarro!smonster. Hope you've got a hot human timelord clone to pet your hair and make you food.

And now I shall curl up in the fetal position. I may or may not eat dinner. I think I've done everything I absolutely have to do tonight other than let Frankie out one more time.

Oh, smonster, I can totally relate. I've been using up spoons like crazy this week. I don't really have any left today and I'm still at work.

I'm being observed next Thursday, but I have a pre-observation conference on Tuesday. Which means I have to turn in some reports and paperwork tomorrow. And, of course, the observation is coming on day 1 of a new unit that I'm doing this year. So, I've had to plan a new unit and do all the observation paperwork in 1 week (I just got my observation date last Friday) when I had planned on creating the unit over 2 weeks. And, all that's while coaching the speech team after school.

I've been here till 7:30 2 nights this week and till 5 the other two. I'm plumb tuckered out.

Today is Thursday that is my Saturday. I have been busy like whoa, and sick on top of it, so I have been reading books all day, for like, PLEASURE, not profit!

It's really nice.

Today is my Thursday that is Friday and Hubby's Game Night, so I get to go have dinner where I want. I believe I shall have sushi.

Observation~ma, Chikat.

TCG is taking tomorrow out of work, and he already has Monday off, so I have a four day weekend with my hubby. Two of those evenings will be spent with in-laws, but we should still manage some quiet time. I may have to go visit my niece too, because she is such a cutie.

Everyone is ded from the cute of the picture I posted, right?
