Unexpected

There has been good news. My promotion has passed the dean and is on the way up to the provost. But the unexpected part is I found out today I've won the Ernie Wyant award. My university has two professor of the year awards, one voted by the faculty, one voted by the students. Ernie's is the one voted on by the students and it's one I've always wanted to win. It makes me so happy that students loved what I do enough to put me up for the award. I'll get an award dinner (with the faculty member who won the faculty awarded prof of the year and the scholarship award winner too), a plaque and 500$. Maybe 2018 will be my year.

The bad, however, is Kanda is still ill. I'm THINKING it's his food because he vomited/diarrheaed Sunday fine Monday, V& D yesterday. Both episodes I gave him one of the fancy brands of wet food. He's had it before but tis is close out at Kroger's It might be bad or he's suddenly intolerant. Today I didn't give it to him and he seems to be recovering.

I on the other hand am worsening. I've had this pain and feeling like something is 'catching' every time I move just under my right rib cage. Yeah I'll be calling the doc.

And hey I FINISHED those damn edits on both stories. GO me.
