Introducing: Beowulf (left) and Mina (right)! My new baby and foster baby. I now have three six-toed kitty cats in my house and am loving it. I'm only fostering Mina (Lucille is less accepting of her because they're both girls, and the problem will probably get worse as Mina gets older); still, I'm enjoying a room full of kitties for now.

These guys have saved my life. The past few weeks have SUCKED HARD. My favorite person in the world is moving and will be out of contact for a while, and I don't know how things are going to go after that. I had a huge fight with my second-favorite person in the world, and she made some really, really cruel remarks that I *should* find unforgivable if I know what's good for me. My students must think I'm an idiot because I keep showing up for class unprepared because every electronic device that I touch goes haywire when I'm prepping for class. (Xerox jamming while printing quizzes, etc.) My computer DIED; it would not even turn on. With five years worth of papers, research, worksheets, and my gradebook on it. Fortunately, the Geek Squad was able to transfer every single bit of it onto my new computer AND save all my pictures and music. I would have gladly performed sexual favors if they hadn't already charged me so much that I felt like I already had. Still, I've got a brand-spanking-new computer and all my old data. And it only cost me hundreds of dollars. And realizing that my new computer uses Works rather than Word. And realizing that my printer and 3.5" hard disks are too ancient for the new computer. Oh well. I'm just happy that I didn't lose my old work.
