Mostly Books and Cats

I like to blog on Fridays.  I don't work on Friday, so it's a time when there are fewer interruptions.  The last few Fridays have had other things going on, though, so it hasn't happened.  I can't imagine the holidaze will be much better, but I'll try.  

The electric sunbeam is out again.  Fiona spends the lion's share of her time either in the rocking chair or in front of the space heater.  

I'm plowing through another junk food for the brain series of murder mysteries.  I try to throw meatier, more substantive books (biographies, history, etc) in from time to time, but I do love me some fluff.  

This is why there's a lint roller in the sewing room.  

I was doing my lesson planning and Fiona was fascinated by the printer.  Grumman follows me around.  He wants to be near--but not touching--me.

I feel you, Kitty.  I'm not a big fan of this season, either.  

One of my second graders decided Curious George wanted to read about monkeys.

I subbed for kindergarten recently.  We did their spelling words in sidewalk chalk.  It's one of my favorite "cool teacher" things to do.  

I fired up Crikey to make a graduation card for Josiah, and then never got a picture of the finished card!  :facepalm:  More to come on that.  

Still trying to hit the city library every Saturday.  Hannah recently went to the library and out for boba tea with a friend, so she gets two trips to the library this week.  

Fiona curled up in a plastic bag.  I shooed her out, tied it in a knot and threw it away, because it freaked me out a little.  

They grudgingly accept a closer proximity when there's heat involved.

I think it's hilarious when Grumman sits at the table.  He knows not to get on the table, but sitting in a chair lets him see what's going on up there.  

I need to post about graduation and Thanksgiving and December crafting.  Hoping I can get those up in the next few days.
