Now I may need to go Wikipedia the Isle of Man.
Burrell, definitely sounds like you need a break. And more sleep, I'd think!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Dinner tonight was a salad and baked shark steak marinated in blood orange juice and drizzled with butter, Grand Marnier, and Tulocay's herbed fish & shellfish rub.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds super fancy, Matt!
((Burrell)). Fwiw, it seems to me that long days and not enough sleep make any other challenges and obstacles MUCH harder to handle. I hope you can have a more sustainable schedule soon.
Self! Do not forget your phone is charging in the bedroom! Do not leave for work without your phone!
ETA: woohoo, that worked!

not your mom's socks.
Burrell, that is a hugely long day. I hope your pre-migraine is now well and gone.
DH's first-round tests all came back clean, now for CT & etc. Meantime, he's trying no multiple espressos & spicy foods for a bit. He was able to come last night to my last NYC thing, which we'd been planning for a while, and I was really glad for that. Thank you so much for the ongoing ~ma.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ah thanks for commiserating my friends. I finished up the grading a little before and was in bed by midnight and up again at 6:30. So not quite enough sleep, but I hear there was a round of musical beds I missed out on last night. Thank you, Cody.
Today I get to work from home, grading and laundry and a quick trip to the store to get Franny more smoothie powder. She's decided she likes making them and drinking them, so why not let her.

And yes, still sending get-well-soon~ma to Sox's DH and Rebecca's brother

I just typoed Escalations as Escalatinos, and now I'm in love with this Tino-blaming typo.

I like the first pair of boots, and the Anya boots.
Matt, I like the distressed wood headboard best of all.
As far as the kiddo debate goes, I call my step son killed all the time, and no matter how old my former students are, I called them today also. My dad called me kiddo, my grandma called me get out, any other person can call me kiddo and I have no problem with it. Now, if I were in a professional situation and someone called me kiddo, I would be very offended and I would address it immediately.
ION, I am adulting this week like an adult who adults. Lots of laundry done, lots of straightening up of the disaster that is the dining room table, which is covered with assortments of mail and...stuff, deep cleaning the kitchen and bathroom.
Later today I'm going to go get my license renewed at the DMV, and if it doesn't rain I'm going to mow our ginormous backyard, plant my narcissus bulbs, and then I am going to attack our financials.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I finished up the grading a little before and was in bed by midnight and up again at 6:30.
Yikes -- more than one day of that would kill me.
