jdmkleinSarah went out yesterday to get job apps. i hope she finds something. She needs to be with people other than her grandmother and aunt.
Today must be national arabs want to talk about sex on the internet day. While i was talking with Sarah i got more than the usual share of such messages.
Got my papers marked, and the grades entered. It appears most of my students are going to pass. i was having some misgivings about some of them. The boys especially. i guess they figured out what they needed to do to pass, and have decided now is the time to get with it. The sad thing is, they are all intelligent and if they had spent 1/5 the time doing the work as they did trying to give me excuses to get out of it, their final grades would be much better. What is it with teenaged boys? i think they just like to argue.
We got our first Christmas card today. i hate people who are that on top of stuff.
i still haven't heard from my soldier. i wonder if the letter even got to him? i wonder how long i should wait? i'd hate to have to scrounge up a Christmas party on the 22nd of December. My feelings are ambivalent for having a Christmas party if the soldiers don't come. But, if they respond at a late date, i don't want to have to a) turn them down or b) have to try to entertain them on our own. i guess i'll just wait another week or so. Master says the communication situation in Iraq is not the best, but i did send both our cell phone numbers, my email address and Master's APO address. One would think at least the first sargent could find a scrap of paper and a pencil. Oh well. Maybe i'll call the embassy and see if they have any ideas. Maybe i'll invite some other soldiers and if the Iowa Guard guys can come too, it will just be a bigger party. Sometimes trying to do something nice is almost more trouble than it's worth.
More rain is predicted for tomorrow. How good is that? Ha! The only redeeming feature for the cloudy today was the fantastic sex this morning. Maybe i don't need sun. Maybe i just more sex more sex more sex.
Today was also great old movie day on TCM. It Happened One Night, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a movie about a ghost on the order of Quantum Leap, (old, black and white, i didn't recognize any of the cast). i found my silk duvet, so i snuggled on the couch and watched movies to my heart's content. Master had errands to run, and He said i should stay home off my feet. He is threatening me with a doctor visit if the pulled muscle doesn't start feeling better soon. And because i have been favoring that leg, my other knee is now giving me pain. It's hell to be old.
i think it's time to find another golden oldie on the movie channel.
