Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
"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.
Guys, the first part of my secret santa present was delivered yesterday!
A Circular Bookshelf Seat
I'm not sure why it needs the lights on it. They're just taking away space that could be used by more 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.
You can't see the books from where you're sitting. Fail! Redo! Back to the drawing board.
Okay, I'm off to the office with my little smidge of coffee grounds and my huge air purifier. I've called into my migraine specialist to tell him about the environmental downturn, but I don't know what good that can do, because I severely doubt he'll give me more pain meds--I'm on his last nerve currently. But at least he knows.
