Classes Start and Doggie News


7:15 am
                I am taking it very easy this morning. Just going to get there in time for lecture – well, a bit before, but no running in the gym this morning. Partly this is because I want to be there ahead and not screech into lecture just as it is starting with my hair wet etc. Partly it is because last night I went with L to see The Hobbit! It was lots of fun. Kind of late, so I did not get to bed until midnight. Somehow I did wake up at 7 – habit I suppose, so I decided to just get up. I will take either the 8:15 or 8:45 bus. I suppose the earlier might be smarter because it did snow last night so there is a chance the schedules will be a bit off.
                Well here’s some news: Tigger now has a set of wheels. K arrived home last night and announced it. He took Tigger up to Turners to check them out, talk to the people, and surprise surprise he was convinced. Well, usually it takes 2 weeks for them to build a set to your specs, but they had a used one there and it was only $200 as opposed to $350. So that part is good. He then showed me how Tigger will use it, and that part was not so good. It is not exactly easy getting him into it. In fact, K had to put a muzzle on first because Tigger tries to bite and snaps. Getting his legs into the little leg openings is hard. On top of that, it still allows his bum leg to drag, so he still needs a bootie on that foot or he will continue to drag it raw. The whole thing seemed kind of tricky to me. I will try very hard to keep my mouth shut and just go along with it.
                So today it first lecture. After that I assume we will sit around and look over the lab schedules, the lists of students, try to fit everyone in. At some point perhaps it will get decided if we will have 2 Thurs am labs, or 2 Fri pm labs. Which will determine if I will teach Wed Thurs am Thurs pm or Wed Thurs Fri pm. I will just go with whatever happens. I am of course not at all ready for classes to begin. I did spend yesterday really finishing up Rm 108 and it looks wonderful if I do say so myself. I think one of the profs is teaching NeuroBiology there, and I think one of the lab instructors is doing lab prep for her, but neither has been in yet. Well, it is now theirs and not anything I have to worry about. What I do have to worry about it getting my desk cleaned off and getting some things ready, setting up a notebook, getting files ready. Not a huge big deal.
                Before all that of course I need to: do stretches, take a shower, feed buns, clean up a bit from making bread last night. The usual. Ok better get to it.
