The End of a Long Weekend
Posted By Kathleen David on November 27, 2011
This sort of weekend throws me off. I have been thinking it is Sunday for the past three days. Today is Sunday and Caroline has half days for the next two days so things don’t really return to normal until Wednesday of next week. Except we have a birthday party the next Saturday and Caroline’s actual birthday is a week from Monday. But after that things return to normal until the next thing happens. I swear normal around here is when things aren’t normal.
I get the feeling that a lot of defensive linemen are frustrated with all these new rules about how and where they can hit but Ndamukong Suh stomping on a player who is down is not something that can be debated. And his answer of “Oh I stumbled” is not acceptable at all. Sit Suh for the rest of the season, not as an example for the rest of the players that don’t get it, but for other players’ safety so next time he doesn’t “accidently” break someone’s neck. I get that the new rules are a serious PITA but that was seriously not cricket.
I need to get some artwork framed this week.
Fig tried for the Alpha Cat position yesterday during kitty politics but didn’t get very far. 2 out of 3 cats told her no. The third was undecided in the matter.
I hate mysterious bruises and cuts. I have a couple that I can’t figure out how I got them and they are taking a long time to heal.
Laundry and Lighting are on my list today. I also have to take Ariel to the ferry so she can get back to college so that has to be schedules in too. Think I am going to start with the lights and take it from there.
What will be, will be and what gets done, gets done. And remember no matter where you go…there you are.
Time magazine has an interesting article about anxiety this week. Most of the coping skills are things that I have used for years. Yeah, I still get anxious from time to time but I am much better at dealing with it than I was years ago. I do, however, get pre-performance jitters before I work a puppet in front of an audience but it is much better than it was and there are certain situations that I don’t think about it any more, I just do.
Made plans to see some of my best friends in February now to work out the rest of the things that must happen before I go.
Ok enough deep thinking in front of the computer screen for me. Off to get something done.
I am grateful for lights that work.
Love the statement about Fig’s attempt to assume the alpha spot — it makes it sound almost as productive as the Iowa caucuses.
And I know what you mean about feeling like it’s Sunday multiple days in advance. I think it’ll be good to have Katherine back at school. Why does Caroline have some half-days just ahead, out of curiosity? Nobody here in NJ does.
Tim,
Teacher conferences are Monday and Tuesday so we have half days.

Ah, that makes sense — my nephew’s school (Demarest — the same place Peter went long ago!) had the same thing a couple of weeks ago, except that I think it was four days. Good luck with the conference, then!
