I seem to be recovering somewhat, but I'm still badly congested. We'll see how tomorrow looks.

I finished Wintersmith, but can't find my copy of I Shall Wear Midnight, so the Aching reread is on hiatus. On a whim, I began rereading the Silence Leigh trilogy by Melissa Scott. It was the first Scott I ever encountered, and I remember it as a decent ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here with a sore throat and a cup of chamomile tea. I sent my evening class home early, and am now contemplating the likelihood that I'll have to cancel tomorrow's classes.

Bleah.

Contrary to prediction, there was only a fine sifting of snow - less than an inch - last night, and no more is predicted for today. There's enough snow to excite Gracie - she keeps asking to be let out, and romps happily when she is - but not enough to fret about ( Read more... )

I'm still a little under the weather - not enough to keep me from work, but enough to dissuade me from going out in 7F temperatures. So I decided to place another delivery order with Shop'n'Save. I selected a number of necessities - and noticed that they wouldn't be able to deliver until after 4PM, at which time I have to be on campus ( Read more... )

My only class today meets at 6 PM. We'll have to see how I'm feeling by two-ish.

Goodbye, 2017.

Do remember to *not* write.

In the process of cataloging my library, I just added a book on "Group Theory and Quantum Mechanics", by Michael Tinkham. When I opened the book, a sheet of letter paper fell out. It was a note from Bruce Gurney, who was my closest friend in high school; we stayed in touch for a few years afterward. He was studying physics at Caltech, and I, ( Read more... )

The short days of late fall seem to be affecting me more strongly than usual. I normally go to bed around 9 or 10 PM; it's not quite 8 PM now, and I've been ready to hit the sack for almost an hour now.
