I don't wanna grade quizzes. I don't wanna deal with the student who wrote after one of the questions, "Sorry, but I wasn't in class the day you taught this. Can I come to your office hours to learn it?" I really don't wanna deal with the seriously over-stressed student who I know is going to have what looks like an anxiety attack when she sees that she got one problem completely wrong. And I don't wanna deal with the smoke detector in my basement that's beeping every 30 seconds.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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

I've been alternating between cleaning and Tumblr while waiting for the rain to stop so I can get some exercise, but I don't think it's going to stop being wet anytime soon. I guess I'll put more Welcome to Night Vale on my phone and dig my raincoat out of the closet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's such a cool, lovely day. I keep meaning to get some stuff done, but then I forget and go back to sleep. Maybe summer is finally over.

I'm attempting to at least get some small tasks done today, like discarding random bits of paper from the top of my desk. Spare Cat is not helping, i.e. she's sitting on top of as much stuff as she can manage.

I got my errands run and now I would like a nap. My game is on a weather delay, which is confusing my timetable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe we need to hope for another rain delay, because it's not working out real well for us so far.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's so hard trying to figure out what to do with our sickly kitty. He is in kidney failure. We are giving him subq fluids and pills twice a day. He doesn't really want to be petted or picked up--just to be left alone. He is growing incontinent and barely eats. However, he seems comfortable and in no pain. He basically stays in one place all day and dozes.
We want to make the decision that is best for him, not for our convenience or because it makes us sad to see him decline. But it's so hard.

That is hard, Scrappy. Poor kitty. I'm glad to hear he's comfortable, though in a way it makes the decision making harder.
