Mother Nature is Drunk

It was 78 yesterday. Today my students freaked out and raced through lab because it was snowing its brains out. I wasn't going to go to water aerobics but my friend peer pressured me. We came out of that, wet headed, to 2 inches of snow on our cars. OMG

Water aerobics was good, weird but good. She doesn't use music. I've never done this without music. we were too busy laughing at each other anyhow. I'm the only one who had ever done water aerobics before. That pool was empty. It's also...awful. 20 years I've never been in there. it was closed the first five years I was here. I have always avoided it because I didn't want in the pool with students and it was always 'booked up' and another faculty member said no, it's always empty. it needs painted badly. It's a soulless structure but it is a pool.

Hope I won't be too sore tomorrow.

And it was a rough night. I woke up at 4 to an alarm. It was my dexcom. My sugar was at 51 and crashing out. Fun times.


Speaking of actual fun times, both of my panels, (my sabbatical research on the first lady doctors, and a panel on Victorian/Edwardian medicine) were accepted by the Gettysburg Steampunk festival. I'm very excited about this. I'm thinking of doing something for Tsubasacon as well

Another panel I'd like to offer up next year would be women of horror in the Victorian/Edwardian era (and maybe one of the same group for SF/F) and to that affect let me offer up for Women's History month not our dark queen Mary Shelley but rather Charlotte Riddell who wrote ghost stories that were also tied into social restrictions and social commentary. You can read more about her here.
