So many things

Well let me see, what exciting things happened today? The resit exam for the HSC course was another clusterfuck. One of the student's mother called JH and hinted around at 'help' on the last essay, then when that didn't pan out, she hinted around at help on the exam. JH said no, that wasn't possible, then mother hung up and called her again at 6:45 a.m. in the morning. What an evil woman that mother is. She came to the test and sat outside the daughter's room. She followed KG out to her car after the exam. The woman is certifiable. i called the VDSA and spoke to him about the problem. He is going to talk to the girl tomorrow, and tell her that she is the student and not the mother, and the mother is not to come to any offices again. Like that is going to do any good. There is a certain level of arab woman who will use threats and bribery to get what she wants. This woman wants her daughter to be a doctor. i hope i never get sick in this country. The mother will do anything to keep her daughter in school, including blackmail. What kind of place is this? You aren't in Kansas anymore ToTo.

Took Emerson in for a check up. There are all sorts of liquids leaking from underneath. It's a good thing i really love that car, because it is costing me a small fortune to get him all repaired. And two days. But that's ok, i'm going to take a 'working at home' day on Monday. The university owes me one day anyway. i'm hoping this will be the end of it. Emerson will be all good to go for a long time. i'm hoping until i leave Kuwait. i got so lucky with this car. i love it, and it's a safe and dependable make. i don't want to tempt the fates. i'm not sure i'd be so lucky again, so i keep talking nice and taking good care of him.

The new bed came tonight. They set it up in about 38 seconds. It looks all nice and innocent for M when she stays her last night in Kuwait. After that it is MY dungeon bed. Yippee Skippy! The horse will be put together again. the eyebolts in the doorway. Toys out and neatly displayed. And all the acoutrement. Of course it will have to be locked on Sundays and Wednesdays while we are out, but that is a do-able thing. i'm so excited i can hardly stay in my skin.

The $64,000 question. What is the name of the movie which starred Audry Hepburn and Shirley Maclaine. James Garner had a role in it. The Children's Hour. Two women accused of a lesbian relationship. 1961. Hour of research on the net.. Caught the tail end of it on the MGM station. Stupid station, cut the movie right at the credits.

Am adding a new component to my exercise regimine. Tomorrow morning i'm going to start swimming in the morning. Going to alternate between biking and swimming. i have to take a cab to work tomorrow so i will have time to get my hair dry and curled before i leave. Best thing about this plan for tomorrow? i can snooze in the cab on the way to campus.

Daughter and daughter-in-law got their flowers. Haven't heard if the mother has. Am not going to let it bother me.

i need to iron.
