    Okay, so new-ish day. It’s already after three. Lazy rainy day.   It’s supposed to rain all week.  Not a whole lot going on. Well, this time of year there’s always a lot going on, especially the weekends.   But, there’s kind of not a lot for me to do besides the usual – gym and chilling Read more

    I was going to write something yesterday, but I was so rudely interrupted by a two and a half hour phone call………………….   Bleh. In a way, I feel like I’m in a pretty good place in my life right now. It’s certainly not perfect by any means, but I’m working (sorta), being a good sister, Read more

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.

    Another odd day. Yesterday, I had the full intention of going to the gym, doing homework, and eating a pint of Arctic Zero I bought for myself.   Rather, little sister bought for me at the same time she bought herself B&J’s Cinnamon Bun, which disappeared after two days. I opened my eyes this morning, about Read more

    I talked myself out of seeing a movie. I heard that US was a psychological horror flick with tones of anti-socialism and groupthink.  It’s a bit bloody, kind of funny, and would take many viewings to catch the entire meaning. I was going to watch it yesterday but sabotaged myself by staying too long at Read more

    I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I can see the faded green coming back in winter scorched tree bark….. ………. Grrrr… I love spring, okay. Spring is coming, but it hasn’t sprung just yet. It’s trying.   Starts of Easter Lillies are pushing up from the grown.   There’s green.   I see buds Read more

    Today is the last day of the first week of the March semester. Geez, that sentence just looks weird, doesn’t it? The good thing is that I have a co-teacher to share my ENGL102 misery with.   102 is the next to lowest English class.   It generally involves a lot of hand-holding and really panicked students.  Read more

  • Open Letter to Ilhan Omar

    Mrs. Omar, Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that you didn’t understand the weight of the words you say and how they can be interpreted by others. To me, that translated into “Please forgive her.  She knows not what she does.” I have to wonder what that says about the higher educational status in America. Read more

    I think every woman has daddy issues. Okay, maybe not every woman.  If a child is raised by two happy parents of the same gender, I’m not sure if there would be daddy issues.  That’s unknown to me. All I know is that, from my perspective, grown women tend to have issues in relationships which Read more

    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
