So, new profile pictures. I took them while at school, yesterday afternoon, avoiding doing anything useful. I just couldn't get anything done, so I came home and promptly fell asleep for, oh... 14 hours. Apparently, I was tired.

Today, I have gotten a few things done, but nothing major, yet. Mostly organizational-type things. I'm currently at Schiavona's and K_Rex's place, getting shit done....

Oh God, my mom was freaked out because before they identified her, all they had was a 5'4, 120 lb. blonde woman in her early 20s.

Then, while I was walking home today, there were four cop cars out front of my building with lights flashing. I felt really vulnerable, called my mom, and almost immediately broke down remembering when a friend of mine was murdered three years ago. That's when she begged me to come home. So we ended up driving and meeting halfway in SC and my dad drove Chester back.

It was an exhausting, awful day.

yeah. i'm still going to go it simply because it's such an amazing plant.
we took a walk through the woods around school yesterday and found what might be the very first Skunk Cabbage flower in all of St. Edwards State Park. it's amazing. about 6 inches tall and looks kinda like a lily. i took some photos with my phone that SG hasn't figured out how to load...for the third straight month or so.
bah!
happy friday!

I've glanced through journals - so much to comment on! I'll try to do that soon.

I'm still fucking exhausted, and my throat hurts like a mofo... but I wanted to update really quickly because I am feeling much better:


Amanda,

WOW! You have done a phenomenal job! I am really impressed with the
quality of work that you have accomplished and that your students...

I'm tired. So very tired. I'm sure once I sleep I'll feel better, but there is nothing like busting ass all weekend and still having shit to do. I skipped an awesome party... I skipped sleep... and I worked, and worked, and worked...

And I feel I have nothing to show for it. I feel like no matter what, all my supervisor will notice is...

I so missed you at the party. Gods, I'm going into withdrawl. It's been over two weeks since we've hung out.

You need to sleep sweetie. There's some wicked illness stuff going around and you certainly do not want to get sick. Plus, sleeping just feels good. smile As for your sore throat, try a warm glass of water (as warm as possible) with a heavy salt contect, and gargle. Do this in the morning and right at bedtime, no rinsing. See if that help.

Love you and miss you.

For the curious:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
If you are holding a generally short-tempered kitty upside-down against her wishes, it is probably not a good idea to also try to kiss her on her forehead. She might just be pissed enough to swat at your face. If you are lucky, she will miss your cornea, but will hook her pointy claw on the inside of...

Two firsts in one weekend...

I got my first cut to the inside of my eyelid, today. I was, literally, bleeding out of my eye. It would have been kind of rad, if it hadn't hurt so much.

It was a cat scratch, because I was fucking with the bitchy one. My fault, I take all blame. It's fine, and I'll be sure to keep...

I understand the kitty claws can get everywhere, but how, pray tell, did they get inside your eyelid??? shocked Ouch! I hope it heals well, poor thing. kiss
schiavona:
Wow, you'll have to show us how a kitty gets a claw inside your eyelid.

I miss you guys soooo much. I know it's only been a week and a half, but damn, it feels like it's been forever!

Can't wait for Saturday.

Apparently it snowed last night. I thought that very thin layer of white stuff on the roof (and nowhere else) was just frost.

Apparently, a light dusting of snow = two-hour delay.

On the one hand, I get to sleep for another hour or so, and will have plenty of time to get ready for school (versus rushing out the door, which is what I...

schiavona:
Yay for the extra sleep. You're cute enough normally, but I'll bet you are absolutely adorable asleep. smile

You two going hang about and be adorable all night? That what'we're planning on doing. So have you told LFO about the plans for the baby goat wedding?

Love you!

Hello, lovelies. I hope all is right in your worlds.

This year, in memory of my mother, I'll be participating in the Relay for Life. This is my shameless plug, in hopes that some of you would like to sign up to participate in the local Chapel Hill event or in the event closest to you.

If you can't participate for whatever reason, I...

He really was such a wonderful cat. I'm glad I got to know him even for the short time we had him. And that I gave him all the love I could.

The vet made a similar suggestion, to watch for any behavior changes in Walter. If we end up getting enough in donations to cover this 1000 bill for Albus, we might go ahead and just run a batter of tests on Walter, just in case. The vet said it wasn't necessary, but I'd like to be sure.

And thank you. As I've said before, all this support is making this incredible pain easier to deal with.
schiavona:
Hey sweetie. i miss you.

Work is sucking the life out of me. i am so nervous I can't eat (I feel ill when I do) and my hands shake. Gods I hate feeling like at any moment the next user is going to abuse me. **sigh** But I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I'm trying to convince K_Rex to color her betty now, but she wants to wait for the 40/40 party. I told her I'd even touch her up. Oh well.

Sinus infection, FTL*!

Amoxicillin, FTW**!

So, yes... infection = gross. And I am tired. I got my unit in, but was behind on planning, so I had to do that tonight after staying late at school due to a Parent/Teacher Conference (which went really well). This weekend, I think I'm going to make it a rule that I can't do anything fun. I know that...

Srsly... when I chose teaching as a career, I thought there would be these little lesson plan writing elves that would read my mind and type up my lesson plans for me while I slept.

I swear, my entire five-week unit is all in my head... but getting it OUT and into a Word document is becoming tedious.

I want a brainwave-to-Word-document translator that is...

Okay see I tried to figure out your brainwave machine but this is all I came up with...


OMG thanks that mac talk really helped. Though I think my IPhoto works different than yours. But I did find a way to make things smaller. Probably too small but oh well. It still works. Until photoshop catches up with leopard. miao!!

Hugs and laughs to help with lesson planning! kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss
