One of the problems with listening to the filk you bought as Pennsic is that you wake up with the phrase, "Checky, or and gules" running through your head.

Last day of teacher-training today. Yes, I would like these 12 hours of my life back, but at least today we will be sitting down and designing lessons we will actually use.

Tomorrow is meetings, then classroom setup. We're off Friday, and the kids come in Tuesday. I cannot believe we're that close.

My sleep pattern is still off, and I crashed for four hours yesterday afternoon -- waking only because [livejournal.com profile] evilnicola called to ask if I was going to Crafty, and I rolled over and went back to sleep. I had very deep and complicated dreams including swimming up a river that ran through the streets of Westerly, where I grew up, so I could get home and write a story for the newspaper, then realizing I was floating/swimming past the newspaper office, but I could not get there. I got up for a while, then went to bed a little after 11 p.m., and sleep really well, again deep dreams about being with SCA folks (I think) sommewhere in Canada and trying to get the train or bus schedules to get my car so I could get home. (It all made sense then). I dream a lot about being somewhere at, say 3 a.m., when I know I need to be up at 6 a.m., and I am four or more hours away.

I am sure this all fascinates you.

I need to think about things other than baseball.

Have a good day, all.

I survived in-service training. Yeah!

Tomorrow is meetings and clasrrom set-up time, and the kids come in Tuesday. I cannot believe it.

[Ahhh, Great Big Sea is kicking into "The Night that Patty Murphy died."]

Weekend away in Maine in between.

Picked up "Cat Scratch Fever," by Sophie Mouette at Barnes & Noble. It's just been published! Go buy it! Spread the word. It's in Romance, but has a tiny "The publishers recommends that this book should be sold only to adults" disclaimer on the back. I am 19 pages in, and it's hot. The word "clit" shows up three times in the first 11 pages, and I have lost count of "nipples."

(Focus, Liam. Focus)

OK, 21 pages in (and two mentions of "Mr. Twitchy"). Go get the book!

There must be something else to talk about.

Oh, yeah. David Ortiz? Arrhythmia. Just like me. He probably loses it if he loses weight, but then he wouldn't be back to jack 'em out of the park.

More later.

No, I am not past Page 21 yet.

A few facts about my school.

We are (roughly) the 10th largest school in the state (I think the latest published figure is 1,978 kids).

The Globe ran all the SAT numbers today.

We had 330 kids take it (I do not know how many were eligible.)
