    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am Read more

    I’m feeling better now, thank you. Although I still have a simmering sensation in my throat, I’m definitely above craptastic.  That’s a perk. Class ended as well. Do you remember how you would stress out about finals when you were in school? You’d worry, maybe become anxious, and stress?   Well, that’s how it is for Read more

    Okay, so hi there. I’m feeling better. Didn’t wake up with Athena splitting brain cells this morning. The throat doesn’t feel like it’s completely made out of molten lava.   I was able to tame it enough to down some soggy cereal — because Honey Graham corners are just to sharp right now. Better.  Better and Read more

    Day ??? of feeling like crap weakly warmed over. But.. this day is a little different. This day comes with a couple of cold sores and a fairly numbed grading brain. —  I suppose fever sores would be more accurate.   Mom said I used to get them when I had a bad fever. I was Read more

    Americans are funny people. I consider each and every one of us mutts. My German, English, Dutch, Scottish, Irish background qualifies me as a mutt. I’m okay with that. I know that there are some Americans who don’t have that type of heritable background, but that’s okay.   They’re mutts by association.  They may not know Read more

    Something strange happened this morning. I fell. It wasn’t just a little fall either.  It had two parts. First, there was the pre-lack of coordination.  This is when I performed the morning ritual of bribing… not giving… bribing the cat with some 6am snacks as a way let Jason get another hour of sleep before Read more

    Happy New Year’s Eve. Congratulations –  We’re under 24 hours away from putting up the 2019 calendar – somehow.   It’s been a pretty crazy year. Yeh, but it’s over. Let the new craziness begin! Yesterday was kind of a fruit loop. In the morning, the boy’s mother and step-dad stopped to visit. Apparently, the Sunday Read more

    Happy Christmas Eve. The holidays are a confusing time. A lot of people feel that their personal worth is judged by the presents that they give.  Commercials emphasize this by putting impossibly big bows on cars and tiny bows on exceedingly expensive jewelry. Slogans don’t help either. If every kiss begins with K and it’s Read more

    I passed through Macy’s last night while chasing down a Snover. (Yeah, yeah.   I play Pokemon Go.  So what?) Anyway, I saw these black sequin boots.  From toe tip to high heel to knees, they were nothing but plastic black sequins.   You know what I’m talking about, right?   It’s not beads, but flat plastic disks.  Read more
