cornerofmadnessI had taken my keys out of my purse so I didn't carry them shopping all over the place. Guess who forgot to put them in the purse when she left. Guess who was going to be in the building hours after everyone else left. Yeah. Me so smart.
Less and Less students are here between last minute drop outs (which is wise in some cases) and the flu is ripping through here like mad. I'm also getting sick. Right now it's mostly a sore throat. I hope it ends there.
It took me four hours (as it always does) to set up the lab final exam for this week on muscles. It is such an undertaking but it's ready
Okay I like ghost shows but some are really ridiculous. Haunted Scotland is watchable for the first ten minutes or so to see the site but they spin the least evidence (if there is anything) into demons, imps, faeries and god knows what else (because I guess ghosts are boring) it is SOOO bad. Literally one of the most ridiculous least believable show I've seen. Like right now, my ring fell off. It MUST be a poltergeist. I'm like your finger got cold and the tissues shrank. This is eyerolling bad
I have a recipe for T-day leftovers. I ate this growing up and had NO Idea it wasn't a thing everywhere. It is a local Pittsburgh thing and it is SO tasty. Okay if you're following my recipe tag for healthy dishes, this ain't it. I cut this in half sauce wise and I STILL have enough for at least two more meals. turkey devonshire.
Haven't written yet, need to go do that. The boys are currently being ridiculous in my head
Snippet - “Well, thanks for an instructional night, Robert. It makes me want to learn more, from all kinds of instructors. I believe everyone has a different way to approach the same subject matter and I like experiencing it all. You’re sure you don’t know the other teachers.”
He readjusted his hat. “No. I know a couple of girls were interested but I think you know them. They are in that class with the big haired buffoon who crashed the campaign last night.”
“Ah, yeah, Howell. I’ll have to talk to him.”
“You probably should not. He does not seem to have much to afford beyond hair and teeth.” Robert sniffed. “You deserve a bit more refinement than that.”
“Thanks. It’s been fun but Grace and I have to get going.”
In the wan light of his lantern, Robert’s disappointed moue won him no points with Al. “Must you? I was hoping you and I could go to the union and talk.”
Al held up her hands. “No can do! Thanks, though, maybe another night. I can’t let Grace walk back by herself.”
“I am more than willing to walk Grace back to campus. I was not planning on leaving her out her on her own. I am a gentleman after all,” he replied in his best haughty tone.
“It was pretty scary there at the end. I’d rather not be alone,” Grace said, opening the clasps on her carpet bag purse.
Al swept a hand to her. “I think I should stay with her. Seriously another night, okay?”

LOL
All this about Thanksgiving leftovers is fascinating for me to read, as we don't have anything comparable re: producing leftovers. But I now fondly remember when I made my first fruit punch bowl (inauguration party for my first flatshare when I started uni, none of us had much experience with such things *g* ) and we made waaay too much (none of us was really into alcohol either - I know, sounds weird for students, but there you are) - and we had a bucket full of the stuff left, half of this fruit. The threw out the acohol as nobody wanted it and made compote and jelly from the fruit, trying to get the acohol out by cooking. We managed, but we ate about a week from that stuff. Never been interested in fruit punch bowl again. LOL
