I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Monday, why you gotta be that way? Gives Monday a swift kick.

Nice, Nora. (spoken as a wino)

I'm a bit better today. Yesterday was very frustrating. I had to pick between going to see one of the kids DH coached graduate from college in Ohio or go to a Skynyrd concert that I got tickets for months ago. Friend who arranged the tickets is going to either get me refunded or sell the tickets for me. Great tickets at a lovely outside venue and I am still distressed about not going, but Max worked so hard in a very difficult program and I am so proud of him, and graduation is only once. I do hope to see Cincinnati Buffistas to help sooth my hurt over the concert.

Max is headed to Europe to play basketball for a while after graduation, and another one of our kids is in Germany right now playing ball. I told DH it seemed only right that we should go watch them play too.

Up at 6 AM to go to work yesterday, stayed up till midnight playing D&D. My brain is a fog this morning, and I've got a second-guessing customer first thing. I'm barely able to follow my own logic-path for fixing the issue, much less explain it in a way that doesn't make my customer think I don't know what I'm doing.

It's the alternating that keeps the species going.

Monday is being pretty awful. Tom, I hope your Monday shapes up.

Well, yeah, they need your continued support on their journey! C'mon Laura & B, go to Europe! For the kids!

I give Monday a Very Strong SideEye for you, Tom. It knows it better shape up.

Alas, the lady finding a replacement for her on her press trip adjusted her schedule so she'd be able to go on it. Bye bye Sardinia dreams (for now.)

... but I did get a nibble on something I sent out months ago, so that's exciting! Fingers crossed.

Oh well, less disappointing than another replacement being selected. Yay for unexpected nibbles!!

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

I finished all the proctoring of finals that I need to do. Still need to grade the statistics final, and grade a couple of late calculus finals, and figure out semester grades, and deal with students who don't like their semester grades. And then it will be summer.
