RBOC: Snow Day

• Yes, as it is everywhere else on the East Coast, today is a snow day here in SouthLite. It has actually felt more like a snow weekend for me. We had endless rain for two days and b has been home sick in bed. This means I have been working nonstop.
• One more snow day and I could actually be ahead--yeah, that's so not going to happen.
• The Brute seems to be mostly over his cold (the violent sneezing from last week's post). For about 2 days all seemed good with him. He was no longer scratching, obsessively licking, feeling scabby or sneezing. Last night however we discovered a small bald patch on his left shoulder and the scratching appears to be back.
• b, although sick, did manage to get a reprieve from 2 of his wisdom teeth being pulled. However the one that's in sideways--that needs to come out and it will be surgical.
• Angel is still not employed and is still bored. He's coming home next week for Spring Break and not looking forward to it. This, of course, makes me feel extra-special wonderful.
• Friday Pumpkin came over for lunch and we ended up in a discussion where I had to give her constructive criticism. She took it well...I felt lousy.
• Even though my students continue to impress and delight me I am still counting the days until summer.
• Our Women and Gender Studies program hosted a fabulous discussion on feminist pedagogy for faculty and students.
• I have very few absolute lifetime rules that I have imposed upon Angel. They can probably be summed up with: you can never join any branch of the military; you should always drink responsibly and never drink and drive; if you father a child you have to take responsibility for said child; and you can never own a motorcycle. He's fine with most of them except for the last. Here's a picture from his adventures in Costa Rica:
