I woke up from a bizarre dream and immediately ended up with a phone call from the dentist saying they're sending me to collection if I don't pay now. I call them up and said whoa, you sent this bill back to my insurance and that was the last I heard of it (until yesterday. I did see a bill from them) I thought it was taken care of. It wasn't so I paid that.

I argue with the hotel people in Louisville to add a day to my reservation. Yes I know you can't give me the block price. That's fine. Stop apologizing and just add a day at full price. It's fine. I'll live.

I ran to Jackson to get meds and money and to relax a little before coming home.

I get home, finish my test for tomorrow and then realize I forgot I had a meeting today to learn this new syllabus software in Ohio's latest political overreach push (everything about my class has to be online, every topic, every room I'm in, every school I've ever attended)

By the time that was over it was time to start on my wacky wild Victorian/Edwardian medicine power point. I finished it at 11 pm. It's 40 slides. That should be plenty. I wanted more than I need better too long than too short. (I've been in these before twice when it was too short and it's awkward and annoying)

Finally start to pack. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I still can't find my belt purse. NO clue where it is and I don't have time for this so suck it up and carry my tote bag with my little wallet and phone.

Tomorrow is going to be a nightmare between tests, finishing packing and driving nearly 4 hours at night.

Neighbors are watching Rocket.


So that dream. I was in some fancy all inclusive resort. It was very crowded. I had the vague feeling my family was with me. Also with me was my tenor sax and it's evening. I crack it out near the pool, shocked that the pads haven't dried out and fallen off. Suddenly I'm in the pool, wailing on this sax and people are into it. Water is splashing everywhere and people are telling me how great I am at this while I'm thinking I can't breathe, I havent' done this in years, I don't remember my fingering. Can I even still read music?

Someone claiming to be Frank Sinatra's kid (but didn't look older than me) wanted me to play for some party. I trot off and tell my brother about this. He is suitably impressed but then I get separated from everyone and I'm trying to find my room (in this high rise hotel). I'm in the elevator with escapees from a werewolf/vampire/goth movie and once I get to my floor it's chaos.

I don't know where to go ( cut because it gets gross )



What I Just Finished Reading:

Keeper of Lonely spirits - LGBT paranormal with older mains. - I liked this one

Death al Dente - crap

What I am Currently Reading:

The Death Card - is uncomfortably close to another series I've read with Afrocentric magic users (and the racist white ones getting in their way in New Orleans)

Dungeons and Danger - a paranormal mystery Vikings didn't have horned helmets for the love of god stop with the horns


What I Plan to Read Next:

Hooked on Murder - lousy so far

I'm too tired to share April's books. You'll get them next week.

The test took forever, gave it at 11 AM finished grading it at 11 pm

Had to pop into the dean/president farewell for summer party.

Had a 2 hour biology dept meeting that sucked my will to live and accomplished...I have no damn idea

Half assed the draft of my last test

graded and graded and cried and realized I still have no powerpoint for Saturday and tomorrow is my only day off where I still have one test to make, grade more shit and pack everything. I still don't know how I'm pulling this all off.

I got this 30 day meme for our favorite fandoms from [Bad username or unknown identity: kitarella_imagines> Honestly I figure I can do it every Tuesday and pick an older fandom based on some of the questions. <lj-cut text=]

I'm going with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My newer fandoms, Prodigal Son, Hazbin and The Owl House are all too short really to count

So for fannish 50 here we go

Day 1: Favourite season - Season two and three are tied. they had the best stories. Spike hadn't become annoying yet. We didn't have Andrew stinking up the joint. The villains were engaging. Giles was still involved. We didn't have the eyerolling Dark Willow magic as addiction crap and the less said about how Buffy was treated in S7-8 the better. The Mayor, Spike/Dru/Angelus were amazing. The introduction of Faith (and the anger at how badly she was treated or at least how indifferent) really kept me watching.
