Oh, good god. I wake up in the middle of the night to discover my alarm clock is frozen and won't reboot.
Now I gotta drag a tablet into bed and have that wake me up. That coulda been close. Insomnia came in useful there.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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

It's been a helluva year for lice, all over the country, if my anecdata is to be believed. Prior to this year I don't recall anybody I know dealing with lice (aside from my half-sister with waist-length hair some 15 years ago), and this year it's been rampaging through the kids' old school in GA and the new school here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
but tommy, his listenership has been UP this whole week.
I have to believe that people tuning in now who didn't listen to him before are just gawkers, tuning in for the fun of it, not actually becoming regular listeners. His audience probably increases briefly every time he's in the news.
I have to believe that, otherwise I'm afraid.

Slept in (for me=6:30) and had to deal with mopping the kitchen floor when somehow, Pumpkin exploded the waterdish all over it. And her. She's a damp kitty. I don't even know. It's too early for this.

So I'm camped outside security at SFO, because they don't open until 0430. I'm already convinced I over packed.
And I have a head cold, which came on between 6 & 8 pm last night. Bah.
Vonnie, I'm so glad you're okay, I was worried when I saw the headlines!
Flying through Chicago to Boston to Madrid, argh.

In other school news, they are re-opening the old school that's just a few blocks from where we live. Next year it will house a 3-6 gifted school, and a K neighborhood school, but if they get 10 kids interested, they will do 1st grade too. So if I get Casper into gifted (which requires testing but I think she qualified with her scores in GA) and they add 1st grade, both kids could go to the school that's actually in our neighborhood. And given the boundary lines and the grassroots nature of the parent movement to open it, there's a good chance the culture will be much more our style than the current school (which is good, but not very hippie.)

First, I don't believe anything about RL's ratings after seeing a few articles debunking the 20 million listeners claims.
Second, according to my twitter feed, there are a few people out there listening for advertisers - to know who to write letters to.
So if there is an increase, I am not sure it would be for the reasons any advertiser would want.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Have a great trip, Consuela!

Oy. Gray Cat stepped in the water dish one morning. Wet floor, damp scared kitty. I need to get a ceramic bowl with a heavy thick bottom so he can't tip it over.
