Also, a dear friend has been watching my dog and sending me extremely cute photos, and it brings me joy to see both how well loved my dog is and how my dog delights my friend.

It was great. Baseball has been among our small joys & getting to watch together (rather than texting through the game) was perfect.

Traveled to a family wedding and seeing some extended game was nice but best of all has been seeing my mom. It's been a tough fall and I've missed her a lot, but last night during the reception we sneakily watched Shohei's amazing game on my phone.

Not missing me at all, I think.

I am traveling this weekend for a family wedding, and my dog is having a perfectly nice time without me.

Also got a 5, also remember nothing (but it was probably Hamlet).

What I remember most is that I finished the multiple choice section 15 minutes early and put my head down on the table for a nap.

Responded to all of my seminar students' paper proposals, and although David Jones's In Parenthesis was the text I was most anxious about teaching (first time teaching it and it's a difficult text!), I guess I didn't bomb it since three of the six want to write their final papers on it.

Traveled today for a family wedding that's tomorrow, and my mom and I are meeting at the airport but her flight gets in almost 2 hours after mine, which means catching up on work with a margarita in the terminal until she gets here.

Today I accidentally managed to bring a full 16oz bottle of water through airport security. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It was in the side pocket of my backpack and I had completely forgotten it was there, and they just...let it through.

it's so easy to both do less harm and maybe even strengthen your social bonds?

The pest removal company added to their decor but Chuck was unfazed, and calmly marked the shrub in front of the zombie shark here.
