Let&#039s see, has anything interesting gone on this week that I can remember at half past seven to talk about? At the library, I&#039ve been moving books from the browsing section into the main stacks most of the week. I should be done with that today. I thought that I was officially over my respiratory infection, but I started coughing a lot last night and there&#039s a tickle in my throat. However, this time I also have a clogged up nose, so perhaps it&#039s just regular old sinuses. I had a crazy dream that it snowed in my fish tank and that my Betta gave birth through his mouth to a bunch of blue and yellow fish which were taking over the tank somehow. Kitty has taken to sleeping on the stack of towels in the bathroom at night since her room is absolutely freezing and she gets sick of sleeping on our feet and getting tossed around around two in the morning. I finished the x-mas present for Brad and Deb T., but Deb C.&#039s and Sally&#039s are still in the works. Tony and I are working on writing up a proposal to take our &#034Teaching French Pronunciation through Comic Strips&#034 presentation national next year (Maryland, I think.) He keeps telling me that I need to work on my fake Irish accent for when we go to bars. Crazy man. He&#039s been hanging around me too long, I suppose. Ian&#039s asleep. He doesn&#039t work until ten. I have far too many errands to run today at lunch, and I&#039m not sure I&#039ll get through them all. There&#039s masking tape on my desk. Actually, there&#039s a lot of shit on my desk. I really need to clean my desk. I need to put up the x-mas tree as well so long as we can keep it FAR from the cat. Which reminds me, there was this funny website Sally sent me to. Lemme go find it; I&#039ll put it up here. Okay, here it is. I think I&#039m gonna go scrape off the Mom-mobile and head to work. Laters!
