The days are long and the years are short

Making steady progress in my biology stuff. Due date is still too soon (Apr 12th). I have 65 pages of notes for 3.5 lectures.

I got out and to the library and picked up caffeine for us. Between us, we have read a whole book from the library to Emily already.

I sent out my paysheet, detailing my hours for the last two weeks. And I filled out the employment survey for my professional society. That should be funny when it arrives.

My knitting is going OK. Probably too well, considering the due date of Apr 12th for all the biology stuff. ;-)

I have been reading too many articles about homeschooling and homeschooling blogs.

Last night we got to the part in "The Hobbit" where Thorin dies. Emily didn't get it for a while, but when the body was being prepared for burial and the elf-king (?) put Orchrist by Thorin, she got it. She asked a few questions to be certain. And the water works started. I didn't know that Thorin was such an attractive character. Then she resolved it with "a miracle and Thorin wakes up and most of his owies are OK, but the one on his arm is bleeding a little bit". So I was Thorin and she was Bilbo and Tim was Gandalf.

Emily has suggested that events in "The Hobbit" would have gone so much more smoothly if Beorn had given Bilbo and Thorin walkie-talkies.

Just let that settle in your brain for a bit.
