A highlight of my Uber shift was picking someone up from one of my dorms at BU (Shelton) and delivering her to Harvard (Science Center) where I'd taken classes at night. I crossed the Charles at least a dozen times, which never fails to make me happy, what with the boats and the crews and the runners and the skyline.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I napped most of the day yesterday, so today I'm catching up on student emails and working on job applications. Just got up to 50 applications sent out.

Yay, lisah!
Ha, downloading a newer citrix receiver seems to have solved my problem. That should not have been so difficult to figure out. I may celebrate by working from home tomorrow, now that I can...

I spent a big chunk of yesterday out in the cool damp, being social. So I'm spending today doing housework and snuggling with the cat, keeping warm. I saw the first hummingbird of the season on my feeder, which was nice.

I wonder if it's time to refill the hummingbird feeder.

My brother graduated, and he was the student speaker. I'm so fucking proud. Then the whole family bowled. For real. And then we had a tasty early dinner so my bro and SiL could get on the road. And now I'm full and sleepy. Is it too early to go to bed?
