You know what's not fair? Hearing from someone I know via Facebook (1) because they shot some of Terriers on her block in San Diego, but (2) she is currently at a conference in Kuai.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Solidarity with Bonny. Although I've been known to cheat with Pacific Rose and Pink Ladies. Used to love Granny Smiths, but man, they've really mellowed out from the tartness that would strip enamel off your teeth. Which is an apple requisite for me.

I am eating lasagna for dinner. It has spinach in it! And two eggs, and 15 ounces of ricotta, and 16 ounces of mozz, and a pound of sweet italian sausage. But, also, delicious!
I had a good day as I won a grant at work for $6000 to buy 42 Kindles, one of which I will have to play with as my own as soon as they get here. (I am apparently quite good at half-assed grant applications that get funded.)
Then we had to discuss dental insurance, speaking of Fucking Onerous Tasks.

Ugh. I'm going to have to have a Chat with my student assistant. I offered her the extra hours to finish a project on Friday, when I was out of the office. I told her that I was leaving the door unlocked and to leave her timesheet on Thursday and I would sign it. She apparently came by to pick up her time sheet, but she was not here when the UPS guy came by at 3:39 on Friday. She was supposed to be here from 1-5, and I signed her time sheet for that amount of time.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Any chance she'd just popped out to the toilet or something?

We are having pasta with spinach and asparagus in it, so I am good.
I have nothing exciting to add except I am cold, and I am busy. (I typo'd "busty" and I am that too still, but no news there.)
Yay, PJ pants and a sweater!
Ok, off to create EXCITING TEACHING RUBRICS.

Much might depend on the general reliability of your UPS guy. My current one (at home) is aces but in other situations they have lied like lying things ("nobody home to deliver package" when I never left the house and was actively watching for the truck.)

Nope. I know the UPS guy well and when he delivered the package this afternoon, I asked him why she didn't sign for the package, and he said that the lights were out and the door was locked.
