Clearly they should have had YOU organize the holiday celebration. They really need you, alas for them.
This week was the resident-and-family holiday party at my assisted living workplace. All of the public ground floor rooms were set up for the entertainment, not just the large dining room, so that was the parlor, the library, the All Day Cafe, the Community Room, the Private Dining Room, and the Atrium. I had a big bunch of rides that kept me hopping during most of the setup, but also managed a mission or two for extra decorations like the battery-operated LEDs lights and so on. Then I went home for a few hours, came back to mostly just circulate and say hello to family members who were visiting for the party. Then helped with moving the furniture back into place afterwards.
This is a nice place to work.
I'm so happy for you that you found that job, Theo!
And happy that msbelle gets to leave hers! I hope very soon
What lisah said. So happy for Theo and msbelle
Inspired by Kat's post on Facebook, I just started aCoursera course on Modern and Contemporary poetry. It is pretty good. I like poetry, but I don't really read it outside of a classroom setting, because what is really satisfying about it, to me, is the discussion and everone's insights coming together, and I obviously don't get that from solo reading. This course has pretty robust forums, and it looks like a bunch of people who just keep taking the course over and over and become moderators and TAs. I am still in Emily Dickinson, who I am pretty familiar with, but next is Walt Whitman, who I haven't really read in a classroom except in high school. (And I think I am familiar mostly because of Dead Poets Society!)
Which course,, Sophia? I've been thinking I'd like to refresh my understanding of poetry, especially the more modern stuff.
Have I mentioned that ltc wants to make her own Gashlycrumb Tinies books?
Calli. Modern & Contemporary American Poetry ("ModPo")
University of Pennsylvania
A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs....
Does she want to do her own drawings or make up new names and rhymes? So excellent. I want a copy!

Eeeeeeeee! Please tell her I would like an autographed copy.
She wants to plan the death of all her dolls. She also wants to be an author and illustrator, so she wants to put them in a book probably, but the book will all be scribbles without actual words because she doesn't read yet. The scavenger hunt for the Gashlycrumb Tinies at Edward Gorey house made a big impression on her because she's still talking about it 4 months later. And her daddy reads her the book sometimes. She also wants to be a baby doctor.
Tea: ltc's fever is still spiking at noon on the spot, but her appetite isn't affected. She just ate a huge lunch.
