Blah Blah Blah

[copied from dland]

I was majorly tired this morning, but somehow got over it, which is always nice. I had had a lot of trouble falling asleep last night, and somehow was moving slowly this morning, despite the fact that I allowed myself enough time to leave earlier because of the drive on the icy streets. Even so, I didn't have time to go to Dunkin' Donuts and brought coffee from home in my thermos. You know, it was okay. Will wonders never cease?

But my eyes were very bad this morning, which makes me feel more sleepy, and then they eased up around ... 9:00? 10:00? I don't know, but the day got better and very, very busy later, which was excellent. The big library news of the day is that we got our photocopier, finally, and the two guys who came to install it were very funny, like a comedy act, but also very nice and taught us how to make it do all its tricks. (It's a very basic machine, but it sorts, it duplexes, it staples, all kinds of stuff. The coolest thing it does is this: if I have a form or something that I often need copies of -- like the daily attendance sheet -- I can scan it into the copier's memory, and when I need more, just call it up and print it out without having a hard copy of it on the glass. Cool, eh?) As the guys were finishing the installation, there was already a line of kids waiting to use it.

We have three days off next week, Monday through Wednesday, for Presidents' Day and then what's left of what used to be our winter break, a week off. I think having three days off is great. But days off are never enough for the SCM; if they give us three, he must take one more, and so he is out tomorrow so he can begin the trek to his other home in Vermont. I'm sorry. I know the days are his and he can use them however he wants. But it's obnoxious to always take off the day before a school vacation. He hasn't missed a one since they bought that other house.

I got a call from the audiologist's office before and my new babies may be delayed, which makes me very sad. :( Especially since I already have plans for the afternoon of the morning I was taking off to get them! So now, everything is up in the air.

I agree with Yvonne, 10:00 is too late for Lost! Not that I didn't watch Idol at 9:00, but if I had to choose between them, I'd choose Lost without question. I haven't watched Idol for the last two seasons because it was on against other things I liked more. But I have to think about Lost, and it's hard to do when you're old and sleepy. Idol is just eye candy, so to speak; you can still enjoy it without really watching it or paying attention.

No stuff falling from the sky today, but cold cold cold. I had no inspiration to do anything at all after school, but I had to go pay for the car that was serviced on Monday, mail some mail (too late to mail it this morning), and get some stuff at the supermarket. And now, my microwave dinner is ready, and tomorrow's lunch is sitting in the fridge just waiting to be picked up, and hopefully I'll have the brains to take out tomorrow's clothes tonight. Looking forward to a better morning tomorrow (although the rest of today was okay.)

'Night.
