The END is NEAR....

Well, not THE end, but AN end.

I am almost done going through all of my unit binders.

I just threw away one I made back in 1982 on Narrative Writing, complete with student examples from Jackie Bias and Rhonda Evenson! Man, those two were good student writers!

I chatted with Peter this morning on IM, and then with Hier, who is writing away like a good chap, I hope.

Then, I drove in to Kasson and let them suck my blood. My blood must be extra juicy today because when they stuck the needle in, it came flooding out in a stream. EW. It also hurt this time--which it seldom does--usually it is just a little poke and it's fine. Maybe the needle was dull. Could be.

I was happy that they didn't make me pee in a cup. I hate that. DO NOT READ THE NEXT SENTENCE IF EASILY GROSSED OUT. How does anyone do that WITHOUT peeing on their fingers? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I still have a big red bump on my arm. *Sniffle*

Ah, well.

At least its done.

Afterwards, I went to Perkins. I was thinking "Strawberry Waffle" the whole way, but when I got there, I figured I should have some sort of protein, since I could feel my blood sugar bottoming out big time. So I had poached eggs with hashbrowns and sausages. The waitress was really nice. She asked if I needed a box, and I said I could use a to-go box for my iced tea, which she had just refilled--it was so good I hated to leave it. But I needed to be on my way.

She said, "I can get you a 'To Go' glass!" In a moment she came back with one. When I picked it up, it was full! She said, "I gave you a fresh one." That was really nice of her. I am glad I always tip well--even if the service sucks, I tip well because I figure, those poor waitresses need all the encouragement they can get. Plus, I am not naturally bitchy about stuff like that.

The people sitting next to me who kept threatening their 3 year old with a "trip to the car" (which I am certain meant a beating by the look on the child's face whenever they said it) were more likely to get a glimpse of my "bitchy" side.

I guess that's about it for now. I have to get back to work if I'm serious about getting this stuff done today. It's just gone 2 pm.

Time goes so very fast!



Tomorrow I see Lori in Owatonna again, so I won't be coming in to school tomorrow. I might go to the Owatonna Public Library--what the heck. I haven't been there in YEARS.

Mission Accomplished

Got through all the unit binders! 

It was tedious, and it stirred up a lot of dust which set me to choking and gagging.  Damn Allergies.

But, I survived and am home now, ready to pass out from exhaustion.  DeAnn wanted me to come out for something to celebrate the full moon and the summer solstice, but I was sooooo exhausted...and all ready in my pjs.  I would really like to take a bath because I feel crusty from the heat, sweating and dust of my labors today, but I am soooo tired.  I would probably drown myself in the tub.  I'll have to set my alarm to wake up early in the morning, so poor Lori, my chiropractor, doesn't have to deal with a crusty patient.

Arg.

I really didn't want to eat junk from McDonalds for supper tonight, but I was tired, and my blood sugar was plummeting again, so I stopped and got a fish burger and an ice cream cone.  And a diet coke.

My feet feel much better tonight than they did this morning--but I massaged body butter into them, then iced them a bit at school--and I went all day without wearing shoes, which always feels better.

I don't really have anything else to say. 

I've had compliments on my Tutti sized clothing from the gals on my Barbie list serve.  One said I had a "good eye" for fabric that's in scale to the dolls, and another said the Kitty print outfit was darling.  Heh.  It's one of my favorites too.

I'll have to take some more pictures--especially of some of the darling SKIPPER clothing I have made.

Well, gotta sleep.

I am EXTREMELY tired.
