Actually my bump(s) are so bad that Grace's nurse P looked at me yesterday and said, "What happened to your head?"
Not on, Dude! I'm waiting for mine to grow big enough to put on popthatzit.com.

I have been looking for examples of irony to use with my students because they are not all getting it.
Today, Grace's teacher sent home some of Grace's work including a Thanksgiving book Grace "made" (with handy signs!) and a picture. The picture [link] is a perfect example of irony given Grace takes NO FOOD at all by mouth.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
"In the Sweet By & By." Has that been suggested? There are some lovely hymns out there.
We are having a good but emotionally fraught preconvention. But everyone I expect to be here is here, so that's nice. Tomorrow more preconvention before we have to be thrown to the dogs. Err, I mean, promote our work.
I should be asleep.

well, they think that it's a black fly in their chardonnay or 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Huh. the HTML page didn't pop up in a new window and it ate my post.
Anyway. I had a day. Getting some stuff cleaned up for Thanksgiving. Made some more zucchini bread -- have to buy new sugar soon, and I just bought a little bag a month ago! Usually it takes me YEARS to go through a bag of sugar.
I had a melt-downy day yesterday; no emergencies, but....uh. It's here if you want to read the whole damn thing, because I ain't typing it again.
But today was better, so...
And now, I try to get to bed. Last 2 or 3 night have been hard to get to sleep because of stress monsters.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Guys, the first part of my secret santa present was delivered yesterday!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not sure why it needs the lights on it. They're just taking away space that could be used by more books.

Because books.
But the lights make it COOL. That's awesome. I would have wanted that in my room as a kid.

ITA. Also, I want that in my room as an adult.
