I'm borrowing the hiding space's copy of "Little Women." I'll be curled up in the big wing-back chair with a cup of hot chocolate. I need a good cry.

Finally! Someone found out how to get into the Room of Requirement! YAY!
Hmm. Let's see. I need a really comfortable chair here, got it, a really soft and comfy comforter here, got it, and one really quiet and loving fuzzy kitty here, got it. Oh and a Mercedes Lackey book that I haven't read, and maybe a Dick Francis. Oh, there they are! I'm set! Don't bother me until I'm done reading! I'll put up flags when I need nourishment!
Thank you, OP!

We are having the all-campuses staff development extravaganza on our campus today. I hid out in my office all morning, and signed up to go to some sessions this afternoon, but if y'all don't mind, I think I'd rather come in here........

This is my new favorite place. I have a lot to hide from right now. Mostly deadlines.

Did I hear there used to be a library in here somewhere?
Maybe it's hiding. |

Correct, as usual, TZ. That's because you are not Dude. TZ, however, is Dude. TZ is my favorite. I wish YOU began with A. |

I brought the bourbon and the bon bons. I'm hiding from being around Mr. Undisciplined, whose dissertation is due very, very soon.

<bounds in, knocking crap over with bag overstuffed with ungraded exams>
Hello?
I only read the OP, but I have to join in. This morning, I almost cried on my way to work. Why? I'm no doctor, but I'd diagnose it as "emotional exhaustion." First year, non-tt, 3 classes, all new preps. New town, new job, blah blah blah.
Then, I got to the gym, hoping it would snap me out of it. I cried during my warm up. The workout eventually did make me feel better, but I'm still living in denial about the considerable stuff I have to do in the next two weeks.
Instead of actually doing anything, what did I do this evening? I made an apple tart. It's in the oven now and smells divine. Maybe after that, and another glass of wine, I'll start that grading.
