It's been a long long LONG week

[cornerofmadness]

It's mid terms and I've been deeply cleaning things. So I've had little enough to blog about. Mom doesn't want to come now because she'll be back here in a few weeks because plans to get my new futon etc were put on hold because she and dad were doing the basement remodel. So now if she doesn't come my brother doesn't want to come. She's annoyed with him. I'm annoyed with all of them. And I told her if she DOES come, the house isn't cleaned and the only possible responses are 1. good cleaning job or 2. silence. I don't care if clothing is hanging from the ceiling fan. Naturally that won't matter. In the past i've had this place spotless and they all start bitching about the mess before they are literally IN the door.

Work has been exceedingly pissy and nothing but fighting among the faculty. Today was bad. But there is good news. the bankers who gave us 25K last year gave us another 25K this year. I got to do the video thank you. I'm very happy to have this money. I might not like teaching much but this will help us do cool things.

I just finished writng my grant for this year. Fingers crossed.

In the deep cleaning I opened boxes unopened for forever. Found all my medical licenses. Wept terribly.

Found my yearbooks. How was this 30 years ago? How was I ever that young and hopeful?

Found books chewed on by rats. Oops.

L is becoming rather unbearable due to an injury which yes hurts but to think the way insurance and hospitals work just to suit her? At least I'm gone EVERY weekend so I don't have to be the one carting her to and from the hospital. Selfish yes but she's never once offered to help me so I don't feel bad.
