Dec. 16th, 2009 06:52 pmToday's one of those days when lots of minor ailments make me all-over-acheing. As a result, I haven't achieved much. I compare my not-much from today with my not-much from an equivalently ick day twelve months ago and I'm laughing.
My last class for the year was lovely. Lots of word games and chocolate and laughter. My students stayed on for a barbecue, but I brought my sore self home. On the way, I did all but one message. I have milk for the next few days and lots of parcels went into the post. Bookplates, too. If you discover a second batch from me (I was being careful) then just hang onto them till next year, when there should be more books to stick them in.
When i got home, I winged muchly to myself and forgot to make two phonecalls. I also read a bit. I'm 35% of the way through the latest Wheel of Time book. I can't do the academic stuff when I'm like this, but I can read fiction, since my eyes were fine.
I also did some housework. Not much, but enough so I am not totally in a mess tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be hotter than today, they say, so some of my symptoms won't go for a little. I want to give you a list, but that would be cruel and unnecessary torture.
Valerie Parv gave me a copy of her book-to-be-launched tmorrow. I honestly don't think I'll be getting to the launch, with the heat and the aches, which is a pity, because there are people I want to meet. Anyhow, I'm enjoying the book.
