one worry off the table

I got my 900$ for the convention. They did pony up the cash which is already deposited and sent to the credit card I used. Also saw my chair and my provost around campus today. See me working wounded? Better get me extra credit.

The math prof who retired stopped in to see me today. She's moving closer to family in Missouri. I'm really gonna miss her. she's about my mom's age and I liked talking about India with her (where she's from) and learning to cook.

My primary care doctor's office called me at 8 AM to get the units I use of insulin and I explained it's a prefilled pen 100ML. please just ask for that. 2 hours later as I'm getting ready to head out the door, they call back and ask the same thing. I'm getting grimmer and grimmer about doctors' office help. I did get my insulin though.

Funny, two of the librarians in Jackson have friended me on goodreads. The YA librarian was so intrigued my review of Leviathan that she was very happy I brought it back today

Have a dream about my grandmother's house again. This time it was in the city with a wooden paneled doors. I had a courtyard. It was very old world Italy/Spain with an antique dealer across the room. Mom took me there and evil_little_dog & lyrangalia were there with other friends, having organized a surprise birthday party for me. I was ticked at ELD though since she got me three gifts and one alone was over 50$ and I had a 15$ limit this year because of money woes. There was a lot more to the dream but that's what I remember.

i can't remember if I mentioned this and I'm too lazy to go look but on the push cart I was planting and watering my heirloom tomato seeds in April, a seed spilled out. It's now a full grown plant with tomatos on it, growing out of a dusting of dirt spilling out of other plants. I think it's the lemon pearl. I brought it home and planted it which was a shock to it. I hope it's okay.

And I found some cool stuff on the net so I shall share. (actually two were sent to me by a friend)

I want this house nuff said.

Star Wars vs Harry Potter It's amusing


Yay Mural go look, you'll understand.

Mom has a tomato like that growing on her cement driveway!

Of course, I'm spending lots and lots of money on you for your birthday. :D

tomatoes, so hardy where you don't want them, doing jack where you do

and throwing me surprise parties in my italian villa

If I wasn't sure you'd kill me for a surprise party, sure. :D

And yeah, tomatoes are nuts.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh probably and yes they are

[ital-gal.livejournal.com]

I`m sure there is a lesson or metaphor in the plucky tomato seed growing into a plant in dust on cement with no help from anyone......

yay on getting reimbursed

I've seen tomatoes grow out of a crack in the asphalt out back of a pizza parlor before. I love that house too. but I admit freely that a LOT of those shelves would end up containing skeins of yarn.

snort, tomatos seem to be hardy suckers except you know whenyou're actually trying to grow them.

yarn would at least stress the house less
