yesterday

I finally set the computer up once the water receeded.  then, that night mom and I rented bride and prejudice.  that finished just in time to watch the 1940's pride and prejudice.

today

 the power flickered for a bit, but didn't actual go out.  I figured out my printer problems and now have printing and internet capabilities on my computer.  I also got to see the toyota prius.  there's no key, it's a card you insert, then a button you push.... no shift, it's a little lever on the dashboard that you adjust. to park, you push a button.  there's a screen that monitors where the energy is coming from and tracks your current mileage.  meg said was getting 99 mpg driving around town.   I was offered a chance to drive it, but declined.  very button oriented; it reminded me of the jetsons.  I didn't get a chance to work on any suduko's, but in 10 minutes time before west wing, I managed to put a fan upstairs in the attic, take apart a lamp to change a lightbulb, wash my lunch dishes, put my dinner dishes in the dishwasher, take care of the cookie platter, put the dog out, and heat a cup of cider.  unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to look at any material for teaching 7th grade today.  got through my 8th grade material for the week, but didn't have an opportunity to look at material for the next chapter. 

I didn't have an opportunity to do anything fun.  for awhile, I thought I might, but just as well I didn't make plans after all.

tomorrow

 I have to go in early because students have labs that need completion.

p.s. dar williams rocks.  and emily still owes me dar williams cds!
