It's not even noon and it's been a day.
• I get groceries from Peapod about once a month. Mostly big heavy things I don't want to lug up my bazillion stairs. Once in a while, usually in the spring, I a.) realize that I could stand to lose a few pounds and b.) remember that I can eat jicama strips like potato chips. So today I had Peapod bring me a jicama, since they had them on sale.
The one downside to ordering produce from Peapod is that you don't know what you're getting until you've got it. For example my 'large' baking potatoes today were... not so large. On the flipside my jicama is the size and weight of a medicine ball! I kid you not. It took me half an hour to peel it and and slice it. I now have a *family size* salad bowl of jicama strips. If I'd known this was going to be the case, I wouldn't have ordered strawberries and grapes for lunches this week.
• Prof answered my email. Apparently I don't have to actually *access* edition 5 to do my essay. I can do it all based on the reviews. Upside: Yay, I don't have to drag my ass to campus this weekend. Downside: I wasted 3 hours a few weeks ago taking notes I can't use on the 4th edition. Grr. Guess what I'm doing all day today and tomorrow. Starting over! *** Head. Desk.***
• The results of a particular assessment came in at work and our reading groups got redistributed. The upside: my group of 7 is now a group of 4. The downside: O, J3 and BH are three of the 4. Seriously. All of them at once. Guh. And when the 4th kid - N2 - is with kids like this group, she becomes a pistol just to keep up with the Joneses. Not looking forward to this. My other group - the very high level group of 3 - is staying exactly the same. Sherlock's in that group and U, and they're both challenges in their own way, but with N1 there they both tend to calm down because she doesn't take their shit.
• G4 is running a Quantum Leap marathon. Only it's all the episodes where Sam leaps into a woman. Is it me or is that a little creepy coming from a channel like G4 where the demographic skews heavily male?
All this and the day isn't even half over. Oy.
