The Moment of Truth (And Other Boring Saturday Evening News)
(Well, *a* moment of truth. There are lots.)
I'm going to go take a shower (and good grief, is it time. My hair needs as washing like you wouldn't believe.) They said wait 24 hours after they painted the bathtub, and it has been 28. Time to go get clean.
On the downside, Jackjack jumped into said tub yesterday afternoon, about an hour after the work people left. He left little grey footprints (well, pretty big footprints, given the size of my cat), and I didn't want to touch the chemicals on the bathtub, so I just got him out and closed the door to keep him out of it again. But now we'll see if those footprints are permanent...
(A little part of me kind of hopes they are. Does this make me a bad person?)
I woke up very late today (1pm instead of 10am... uh, oops?) I then spent all afternoon crocheting (other than time online and time winding handspun, and a bit of time finishing a cat toy which was knitted.) So the evening will, alas, be spent doing some necessary work. Post-shower, I must:
-grade the last of the 321 presentation papers (this includes, alas, emailing those students who I allowed to email me papers)
-post all 221 and 321 grades (minus, of course, the not-yet-complete 221 grades) on Blackboard
-package up the 3 items that I need to get into the mail tomorrow (which is to say, put into the mail via the automated post machine, since I'm aware that the post doesn't go on a Sunday.)
Then, and only then, may I return to ami!Bobby.
Eventually, and I'm talking weeks, maybe months down the line, I will need beta crocheters for the Yarn!Chesters patterns. Any volunteers? (I'll ask again closer to the real time so that you'll know if you'll have time to do them, of course, but if I have enough interest her in LJ-land, then I shan't need to seek out betas in real life or via Ravelry or something, you see.)
Now, I'm going to go enjoy the hell out of my shower, if you'll excuse me please. :)
(Hey! Check out the mood-- 'dirty' twice in one day, and using both meanings of the word! ('Cause, y'know, this time I'm about to shower, so literally dirty... yeah.))
EDIT TO ADD:
1. Apparently, yes, the cat prints are permanent. Snerk.
2. THOSE BASTARDS PUT THE SHOWER DOOR ON WRONG. Which meant that upon trying to close it, the door nearly fell on me. Then while trying to *fix* it, the ENTIRE THING FROM DOORS TO BRACE nearly fell on me. "Top Notch" repair? No, not so much. ARG.
