On the off chance somebody actually reads this thing...

Besides Mwitterone, I mean (yes, you're somebody!)... Emily Calhoun's Torts I class has been permanently moved to 8:50 AM-10:00 AM (Same place). Hurrah! Easier to get to school, easier to get the snarls gently removed from my daughter's hair and all the kidlets out the door.

In other news, I stopped by the middle school on the way home this afternoon to apologize to the teacher. We've fixed the problem (yes, there's an awful lot of legal junk that has to be done, but we made up a waiver and I signed it to make a temporary solution), and fixed the relationship.

I'm finding the constant 'fit study in between everything else' to be a bit discombobulating. Especially the whole got-a-minute-hurry-study thing. Apparently the mind and body likes to ease into studying with little transitional acts; skipping those acts seems to trigger adrenaline. That, plus I'm a bit short on sleep... so I feel jittery. But I took a 20 minute nap this afternoon, and maybe I'll get ahead enough at some point to not always feel like I'm in such an everlasting hurry.

Ok, now to study Torts (et al).

Thanks, Jaded!

Unfortunately, the fit-between-everthing-else isn't a magical study method, it is a description of my life. Oh that it were magical. But I think that day three is hardly enough to judge by, especially since today was the first day of school for the kids so we aren't quite in rhythm yet.

Mindless painting leaves too much time for thinking - Warning "Harry Potter" Spoilers

I've been thinking about this (and re-read the part with Slughorn), and whether Harry could be himself a Horcrux. I also considered the Priori Incantum spell we observed at the end of book 4. Here's what we know: 1. That EVERY murder rips a piece of the soul from the murderer. (note to self... did Snape save Harry from ripping his own soul at the time of the attack on Draco and again the attacks on Snape?) 2. The effect of the Horcrux is to capture this bit of torn soul and preserve it, tie it to earth (as opposed, I suppose, to allowing it to descend into Hell or ascend into Heaven), for later reclamation. 3. The soul-bit is preserved in a tangible thing... we know it was preserved in the Ring and in the Diary, we suspect also the Locket and Nagini (didn't Voldemort meet up with Nagini AFTER the Prof. Quirrell disaster?). We know from the Diary that the soul-bits thus preserved contain sufficient personality to take independent action when given the opportunity. (questio...

And did I mention...

He left his diabetic supplies at the previous place of staying? Two days with no insulin... no wonder he was getting lost and his car kept breaking down. So, he got in at two this AM. At the moment, my husband has taken him up to the VA hospital in Cheyenne (the Denver one was so overloaded, the wouldn't even return a phone call until next Monday), hoping to finagle some stuff until the goods can be shipped here. The fun never ends. As for me, I'm picking wallpaper. Looking at the wallpaper books at my desk, rather than in Home Depot, is quite nice. Ordered drapes from J.C.Penney earlier. Later tonight, maybe I'll get to move my kitchen back into its proper place. And of course, the kids haven't let me forget... Waldenbooks at the mall has an item for me to pick up, first thing tomorrow morning. So, any bets on just WHO is the Half-blood Prince?

Ok, why I have no pity for piggies

When I was a teen, way back during the 'recession' of the late '70s/early '80s, when Jake Butcher ravished the State of Tennessee with the S&L collapse, our family existed on a little farm way back in the hills, complete with two-seater outhouse and outdoor hose shower. Being city folk really (ok, my mom was raised on a farm, but my step-dad certainly wasn't), we were rather inept in our attempt at living off the land. Anyway, we experimented with raising poultry (chickens are dumb... they all run into one corner of the barn during thunderstorms, and only the top layer survive - and besides, when you miss lopping their heads off, the results aren't pretty), turkeys (they attacked arriving visitors' tires), goats (curiosity killed the goat when he tried to follow someone into the truck and got the door slammed on his neck for his trouble), and bunnies (my little sisters put the kybosh on that dinner menu option). We also raised a couple o'pigs. I don...
