just barely hanging on...

...like this bat, who hung outside our front door for a good 24 hours. He was such a little, quiet thing. I hope he was OK.

Anyway, it's time to get rid of that jubilant face from the last post, because that feeling didn't last very long. I hope it comes again, though, once I finish my paper and the grading. I just finished taking an exam. My brain is empty.

I haven't taken a shower in 3 days. Or really slept. So much to do yet.

Here's a picture from a couple of days ago, after a big storm came through the area. There were two rainbows!


Today when I was working, I looked out the window at those construction guys (all the walls are up now, so the picture above is not very accurate even though it's only 2 days old). One of the guys was wearing a shirt that said, "Free Mammograms." On the back it said, "Courtesy of the SDSU Rugby Team."

How... charming??
