Midweek Journal

Life this week has taken on an odd telegram-like quality this week. Events are happening that can be summed only in short, terse sentences:
– Today is our 10th year anniversary. (smooch, sweetie)
– Ian is getting closer to the goal of being mainstreamed in a regular Kindergarten.
– His teachers insist that he isn’t autistic.
– The vageries of the academic employment have resulted in a great deal of gnashing of teeth and waving of fists.
– My student evaluations kicked serious hiney. Students said that I was fantastic, the best in the department, funny, nice. Now, if I could only get over my Catholic girl upbringing and do some much needed self-promotion.
– I finally bought an ironing board, because it costs $5.50 to dry clean my shirts, while Steve’s shirts cost $1.50.
– I am not entirely sure how I feel about the baby-doll dress thing going on this summer.
