Exhausted. We unpacked 2/3 of the school library this morning. Dillo, in particular, worked like a trouper.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sleepy. And in a hotel room, working and watching The A-Team movie. Stupid but entertaining. But stupid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

In the airport. We have an hour-and-a-half until boarding.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Jilli, I saw this while shopping for clocks and immediately thought of you: [link]

I successfully reserved a condo in south Maui today! So there's that.

Working. I am in acronym hell.

(Why yes, Swype, I do want to add "hell" to my dictionary... Sheesh.) (And yes, it knows sheesh, but not hell. Seriously.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We had pizza and beer in the atrium just now, and why is it that drinking a beer in the lobby seems fine, but now I'm at my desk, and it seems crazy? Esp. because if I were more committed to drinking, I would have finished it by now....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am ready to leave work and get some Wii Fit time in with mac. We did it last night (2 nights in a row for me!) and I am a little sore today. I think tonight I will see if he will do some Zumba or Just Dance for part of the time.

Kate, better yet? This wasn't a student! It was someone who works in the provost's office.

!!! Good lord.

I've spent the last hour researching drop-in daycare centers in the town where M teaches. Conclusion: There are very few, and the ones that exist are, for some reason, unlikely to be licensed by the state (and therefore subject to some regulation/oversight). I think I've found one halfway decent place, though.

This is because I'm flying out to Colorado next Friday for my uncles' wedding, and M is teaching a class that day, and we just found out that Rose's daycare will be closed that day. So our options are finding a drop-in daycare, finding a babysitter who can come to our house midmorning on a Friday, or M cancelling his class. Since the second option does not actually exist, and the third option is really a last resort, I'm hoping the drop-in daycare works out...

shrift,

it has been a dream of mine to go to Hawaii, so I might ask you about where you are staying and if you like it.
