I don't think I could do that, but maybe on my lunch break.
Eta: the lectures, not the swerving
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sounds like a couple of Carl Hiassen novels I've read.

On this course, at least, the lecture's divided into 10-minute videos, much easier to consume.

I used up this week's CSA lettuce! Granted, it was a pretty small head of butter lettuce, but still! I made a salad with it and took it over to the neighbors' for a mini-potluck.
Oldest child is currently wailing that he has ALWAYS* wanted to have the Batman doll in his bed and if he doesn't get him tonight he will NEVER SLEEP AGAIN** and he has NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP EVER*** without Batman in his bed so if he doesn't get it be will be AWAKE FOREVER!!!**** Youngest child is unmoved by this.
*For values of always which are equal to about the last fifteen minutes
**I wouldn't bet on it.
***He has never shown any interest in this doll until his sister started sleeping with it
****This is a threat we have heard before. Shockingly it has never yet come to pass.

Amazingly, she gave it to him right after I posted that. Thank you, youngest child, for being the mature and generous one tonight.

Aw! The two of them are too much with their enormous anime eyes. And her curls are adorable.

Aw, yay younger sister being nice.
Boo dog bites though! That's tough flea--but I'd think for starters the neighbors best always have that dog on a short leash or behind a fence, now!!
I got up early, watched TV, did laundry, met my roommate (who has actually move but was in town to get her cat) for brunch, packed for this trip, went to my sewing class, and then drove to the airport. Where I will fly to LA and drive to San Diego. ...I'm already tired.
Also, in the sewing studio, there were several mothers with daughters. And for a while it was fine, but then only one was left, and her mom was SO BAD about keeping her occupied--mom didn't know how to sew and was trying to learn with daughter but kid was just bouncing around all "I can do 39 jumping jacks watch one two three.." And she'd be grabbing mom and mom would be all "sweetie don't grab mommy's arm when she's sewing, it's dangerous. Sweetie. Honey. Stop. Sweetie." And after a couple hours of this I was about ready to snap. Omg. But I felt like I couldn't say anything, because this kid wasn't actually talking TO me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I noted that my landlady only just deposited my rent check. I do not get this. All my checks are scheduled to arrive near the first of the month but on a payweek. I was actually starting to panic that the shenanigans from last month upset the original schedule. But, no. I was starting to panic that she hadn't received my check but didn't care cuz she'd forclosed the property.
