Back to the land of the living room

Okay. So that’s it. I’m done for the term. I’ve handed in my last paper (grr. More in a moment) and returned many of my library books. Okay, S returned my library books, but he works at a library. He should be returning my books for me.

My prof, the one who causes me all this pain by changing when papers are due e-mailed us all at 8.55 pm to tell us that he wanted our papers in by noon the next day. Now, we’d already established the day, but what if I hadn’t checked my e-mail and thought I had all day? Bastard. Oh, and he wanted them slipped underneath his door. Not given to the English office, so they could be stamped and officially received. No, that would be sensible. He wanted them under the door. Grr.

But mine was in at twenty to twelve. And then I went to the Butterdome craft sale. For those of you not in the know, let me explain. The Butterdome is the slang name for the sports centre at the U of A. It is huge, square and yellow. I don’t get the dome bit myself, but, well, I’m neither sporty nor engineeringly inclined… And in this fair city there are three major craft sales. Which are ranked ?!? and of which this was the middle level. Meaning there is still a lot of crap but also some nice stuff.

I went with a friend and two of her three kids. While I will never have children of my own, it was fun to hang with these two for the day – three years old and almost a year. Also, very cute and staggeringly well behaved. Any one who doubts the power of a working mom to raise good kids needs to meet my friend Poonam and her wonder babies.

So, I managed the craft sale and two children on two hours of sleep, which is impressive on its own. And then there was much sleep.

Which has described my weekend. I’ve either been asleep or working. But I am finished all the work I can do at this point, and am only a little tired…

This week will be chock full of playing catch up. But more on that later.
