Our wings are not tired

Hil, what part of campus are you teaching on? Not that I would probably recognize much of the campus now, but I do have lots of memories of all the time I spent over in the corner of campus where CCM is located.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I teach one class in the college of education, which is over on that side of campus.

Laura, thanks for the update.

Hil, I hope you get some rest.

Thrive to spite them

So the oil tank/furance cleaning thing is happening. Well furance replacement I won't have a new one until Monday which is no big deal since I won't have oil delivered until Monday or Tuesday.

My place is a mess, there is trash on the floor. I'm not hoarder but Clean Sweep or wahtever that show was with Nicey Nash -- that's me. But I'm beyond caring.

Right now I'm hungry and want to eat but don't want to make something until they are gone. Also FSU is playing tonight and it will be on ABC I can watch it! (I don't have espn). I should have gotten a pizza. I may just get chinese food.

And I need to call mom but again, I'm waiting for the workmen to leave to make calls because they are in and out of the house.

Oh, yay! We're back. I couldn't check in here during my middle of the night feeding.

Things I Have Yelled At My Television, Which Cannot Hear Me, While Watching “Miss Fisher’s Mysteries” During My Convalescence

I have only seen one episode when I was home in DC and I loved it intensely, but it has not been shown here in CT.

I watched 6 episodes of Miss Fisher's, and while there was much to love about it, I found myself a little bored. She was great, it looked great, but the stories were super formulaic. Does it get better?

I got bored, too. Miss Fisher is gorgeous and smart and rich, comes upon someone downtrodden, saves that person, probably adopts them somehow.

I think the stories get a bit more varied, especially in season three. You meet more of Phryne's family, and a lot of things about her click into place. She adopts less and sleuths more. A lot of the adoption stuff in season one was a way to get her cast in place, and I think it suffered from being streamable in three hours instead of spread over multiple books and years.

The books are very different than the tv show...there are lots of characters but they are introduced at different rates and Phryne's background is different. But I like the series, it's not one I can binge watch usually just 2 episodes at a time.

I'm cold. I don't know the temp outside but I'm cold and I'm worried this means I'm coming down with something.

I did sort through some stuff and tomorrow I'm going to try and make a run to goodwill to get rid of the stuff I have pulled aside. And the grocery store to redeem diet coke cans. Then I can start adding more stuff to the get rid of pile.
