two more days two more days two more days

[cornerofmadness]

then i'm done with summer school. I had two students today SERIOUSLY shocked to learn they have an F and I had to explain it to them. You've failed every exam. But i'm here every day!!! Yeah? And? One of them forgot his ipod today. Lucky for him i'm too honest to keep it and say I never saw it.

It was insanely hot today. Every plant i own literally fell to pieces. Spent a half hour carrying them buckets of water.

I found the squeaking mouse under the futon. Heard it again today. Looked down and Kanda was at my feet, his little chest heaving. Either squeaking mouse is his 'i have a hairball sound' or i have an asthmatic cat. I'll ask the vet on thursday when he goes to bet neutered.

I called King's Daughters today to find out why I had a 25$ bill since my deductible was met months ago. TUrns out someone miscoded my followup visit for my shoulder as a sports physical which isn't covered. I laughed so hard I nearly dropped the phone.

But I did look into sports. One of my students teachs aqua zumba. i might start going.


L. came back from Wales and only had a few minutes to talk but she told me our displaced theatre group is taking over the 1700's village on Bob Evans Farm to do a Terror Town this October. WHEE.

yay for terror town!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

now you have reason to visit

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

hahaha, if I have money? And I don't go to Florida?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that too. just mentioning going to FL to that student i mentioned who does the zumba

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

Aqua Zumba? that just sounds weird, you know.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

zumba is just a weird word.

we were talking about going because we had friends we could stay with for free. but then that violates the whole i hate traveling to the same place twice thing

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I agree.

How do you visit friends, then?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

outside of going home i don't really. we tend to meet somewhere new

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Huh. I've always wound up having to go someplace close to homes to meet up with people.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

other than you i do that with no one. took me over a decade to roll back around to Jenn. I get fr too bored seeing the same place all the time. timeshares are not for me. part of it i think started with my aunt's place in ocean city MD. every year for several years that's all we did until I rebelled in 91 and never went back

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ah. We traveled all over the place but we'd go back to places we liked.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

occasionally i do but it usually needs to offer up something new or i didn't see it all (like the boston anime con and salem)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'd like to go out west again, since I don't really remember it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i do want to go to the grand canyon and finish seeing vegas but i'm done with denver for like a decade right

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I've never been to Denver.

I'd also like to go back to Seattle. But I have relatives there I could kind of stay with.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you'd have to. I couldn't find a decent hotel for under 200$ which is why i scrubbed my visit

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Where Uncle Dick & Aunt Ida Mae live is gorgeous, too.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cool

The shocked students remind me of this:

I spend eight hours a day here. Do you expect me to work, too?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

exactly. there was a study run by one of the ivy leagues last year where they asked the students what grade they expected to get in the class, several times during the year. The upshot was, most expected a B just for showing up

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

All this time the squeaking mouse was your cat?!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well the one under the futon. There still are mice, just not under there. i was puzzled since i took that whole area apart over teh weekend and found no signs of mice...

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Maybe the cat was confounding you on purpose with its uncanny mouse imitation ...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha he was but there's still poo so...

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

Good luck to Kanda. (Her Royal Majesty goes to the vet this week as well.)

"1700's village on Bob Evans Farm to do a Terror Town this October"
That should be awesome! :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that reminds me i need to call the vet and see if they'll board him over night post op since she tends to send them home bleeding everywere.

it really should be. if you're in gallipolis for some unknown reason then come see us

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

My nutty Siamese cat squeaked like that, even Ishte commented on it several times. Turns out that Salem had a deviated septum, and some deformations from his abuse issues before I found him.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wouldn't surprise me of Kanda either
