Draft second section of conference paper
Add quotations to first section of conference paper

Plan Monday's Behemoth Class - halfway there
Tame inbox

Get some exercise -nope
Tidy the house a bit - not really
Take MM1 to hockey practice

If I can get all that done I'll be thrilled to bits.

Probably my last check-in for today as I am meeting a friend for dinner soon. Woot! I'm glad I've actually managed to check a few things off of my list so far!

Good luck Bioteacher and Marigolds!!

7 more damn tests.

I finished last night and went straight to bed. At least the tests were good. That made it hurt a little less.

lohai0, It does help when they are good. Doesn't make it easy, just easier.

Yay, bioteacher!

Yay, crumpet!

I have not graded a thing today. I did, however,
clean the entire house
finish the laundry I thought I had finished yesterday
got my tires rotated
had my oil changed
picked up something for the club I sponsor at school and delivered it
sent out emails for school-related projects
cleaned out my car
fixed my study so that it looks like someone works there (though I don't usually) instead of like a hurricane hit
changed the sheets on the bed
cooked breakfast and cleaned the breakfast dishes
took the dog for a walk
threw away a trash can of junk
filled one box plus for give away (or sale. I forgot we can have garage sales in New TT-town.)
went grocery shopping

Sigh. Now the dumb drafts.  Then my own dumb draft.

I have graded 3 submissions. I cannot actually call them papers.
I'm going to try at least 1 more before Bioette gets back from soccer and we head out for girls' night at a pal's house.

Marigolds, I assure you, your draft is not stupid. It may not be perfect, but it is far, far better than what I've been reading today. Trust me on this.

Compdoc, clean is a verb? I thought it was a just an adjective describing my fantasy home.

I'm thinking of moving in with Compdoc. I could use a clean and well-stocked house about now! I have some food in my slow cooker right now so at least I have that going for me...

I fell asleep and am now behind a bit from where I'd like to be...but hopefully I can get the kitchen and bathroom sorted soon!
