Stupid stuff addendum

One of these I left out of the originaal Stupid Things post. The other one grew out of the post, a beautiful organic flowering of stupid-fruit from a stupid-tree. Stupidity breeds stupidity, I guess. Maybe I should write a post about smart things and see if that helps.

Stupid thing number six: When I got home from the student conferences I was sweaty and hot so I went up to take a quick shower. I showered and got out and washed my glasses carefully and dried them and put them on and freaked out because OH MY GOD I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING I'VE GONE BLIND I HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE EVERYTHING'S WAVY AND DISTORTED. Or wait, maybe I already have my contacts in.

After I posted, I got a funny comment from Amber saying she pictures my kids with accents like Charlie and Lola. I can't even describe how funny and sweet I found this, so I responded, at some length. I closed the email box and there was the post with another comment. From another Amber. And I thought oops. Did I just reply to the wrong Amber? Which is pretty much indefensible. It's not like I didn't know there were two Ambers. It's not like two Ambers haven't replied before. Amber, I still love your comment. Amber, I'm sorry for the unnecessary information on my children's speech patterns.

Stay tuned -- there was yet more stupid stuff on the week-end. Largely in a fun way that involved the world becoming wavy and distorted again. On purpose.

No sweat. I enjoy Charlie and Lola rather a lot, myself. :)

I'm stupid, too. I have totally done the contacts and glasses thing, and on more than one occasion!

So, I made you a button...LOL...I was trying to do a blog roll, & WP is widget oriented so I couldn't figure out to put the links to people who DIDN'T have buttons. Believe it or not, it takes 2 seconds for me to copy/paste someones button on a widget & I'm done. Believe it or not again, it was easier to make you a button & post THAT in my widget than read dozens of tutorials & add plug ins or new widgets to simply post just your name & link, especially since I've gotten pretty adept at buttons & already KNEW how to do that...& frankly, my blog roll is not complete or at all fair without you in it!! Bear in mind, I grabbed what I thought most appropriate for you from FREE clipart, a book, a boy & a girl LOL....happy to send you the code so you can keep using it, check it out on my site, let me know if you love it or hate it hahahahahaha, either way, happy to let you use it to your heart's desire! Thnx for being a true blogger friend & helping me make my name out here in cyberspace!! :-D

Super Dark Times

 To my American friends, I'm sorry. Not in any kind of distanced, pitying, smug way, because I believe we are headed in a similar direction here in Canada, and I am sad and sick at heart. I told myself I wasn't hoping for the other outcome because I was afraid to, but I realize that I absolutely was, because I was not prepared for how bad this would feel.  Some random thoughts I am having about the whole thing. 1. I'm going to try not to hate anyone. For a while at least. I am totally cool with anyone else hating people that helped this happen. A lot of them did it out of hate. Some did it out of ignorance. Some are struggling and desperate and thought this was a solution. I know that's not an excuse, but it makes me think of when I read The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi. He said that he didn't feel like he could judge people who betrayed their fellow Jews for favours from their captors, because he was never given the opportunity and if he had he couldn't ...

Books Read in 2021: Four-Star YA Horror

I am pretty well ensconced in the January doldrums. We are in a deep freeze, and after the major snow dump on Monday I never catch it snowing, and yet there are a few centimetres on the driveway by every evening. I'm happy with my decision not to take any office shifts for a few weeks - it's incredibly stressful, will only be more so now that people are pissed that we're not supposed to be reporting Covid cases, and I don't even get paid my regular library rate. But it does sort of make the days run together. I try to walk Lucy, but it's so cold she starts dancing around lifting up one paw after the other for me to warm with my mittens. We've tried paw covers but haven't found any that fit. So I walk her around the block and then bring her home and keep walking. It's been cold but not very windy, so walking is quite pleasant (I'm finally not too warm!)  I am rewatching The Golden Girls, which I don't think I ever watched all the way through befor...

I'm Sick

 Seriously you guys, I am SO SICK, and I have been stupidly engaging in presenteeism even though I am STRONGLY DISAPPROVING when other people do it. It's not because I think I owe anything to the school board (oh my goodness I do not). It's not because I have delusions of grandeur about how important my job is - wait, maybe I do, because at some of my schools my classes have already missed two weeks of library because of EQAO (which necessitated students writing exams in the library), and it's almost the end of the year, which means most of the librarians are closing the library to circulation soon if not now, and I really didn't want to make them miss one of the last library periods.  Also, and I am putting myself out there so try to be kind, I have realized that there is a dumb little part of people-pleasing oldest-child self that always suspects that if I call in sick people think I'm faking, so it's a tiny bit gratifying to go in and have people say oh my GO...
