Remember how I told you all about my nice walk in the 70 degree sun?  Like I was worried I might get a sunburn.  Then last night I went to game and left around midnight, meaning I got home around 12:30.  It was still quite pleasant out and the sky was clear enough that I could make out a few constellations.

V1 was back in and out of the ER. I didn't know until after work once again, but she's fine now. Fine enough that she demanded we make our zoo trip we had planned for last weekend. Zoo has baby cougars and Red River Hog piglets. And the mangabey. And the red pandas were out. And Dennis the Secretary Bird. I love the zoo. I made V1 take ( Read more... )

I'm finally starting to feel like a teacher who knows what she's doing. I've fangirled excessively about all manner of stupid things that make me happy, and kept my caffeine free resolution from last year.

Well, Merchmas season appears to be going smoothly. S1 seems to be recovering from her surgery well and had her Christmas party despite protest. She got a lot of pleasure our of flashing her battle wounds to everyone as they walked in the door. But we played Encore (at which I remain undefeated) and I got to see a bunch of folks I haven't seen ( Read more... )
