And on to WTF 25 we go

 August 31

Symposium in a face to face class. Went pretty well, I think. They had read and they had thought about it. Not necessarily getting all the pieces in the right order, but still. And they talked, and engaged - Almost a third of them spoke regularly.

Before that Holly wanted numbers on Fred and Milt and Nils wanted the remaining committees for ZO. I sent out a survey and it took all of 2 minutes for Michael to find something missing. I fixed it. Then someone else found something else missing. Good times.

September 1

Tired tired and trouble focusing all day. Got names to Nils of committee members after I had spent hours trying to remap the network drives - arrrgh. Still no luck getting utd email to show up on my phone. Bleah. Finally had Jollibee for lunch and it was kinda sad. Chicken was not bad but the fries were ice cold and they were out of corn and halo halo. So, you know, sigh.

September 2

Dale's birthday, things and stuff and meetings and a less mercenary colleague and a staff meeting with never have I ever and a meeting about the new website and then we got the scooter for Harold and lost the cotter pin for the trailer and had to tape it together but we got it home. J had a freak out during the afternoon and generally panicked about the universe, but I think he got better. Samantha Bee did not make me feel stronger or better or happier. Told KG about how my body is trying to communicate with very odd symptoms how it understands something is wrong that is different, but does not know how to explain the weird.

September 4

Weird morning. Lunch from Potbelly in the park and the end if night... with Lucas Davenport. Talked to mom for an hour ... nice to catch up. Ended the day with Michele having questions about the graduate program and rules. Dinner from PF Chang and a minor crossways bit. I am so over that. If the stories coming out are true (and I think they are) and if the disrespect and dishonor are believed, the fruit may have planted its last potato. Talked with Jonas a bit, yay. Watched the Truman Show which really was a good retelling of Plato's cave allegory. Soundtrack by Philip Glass no less.

September 5

Breakfast at McDonalds and the park - very short walk. Home for a bit, then post office and the Amon Carter, then lunch at McInleys (or some such) at university park - great chicken salad. Quick stop at JJills and then to Kroeger where it rained when we got out with our shopping. Lots of people and several who do not know how to wear a mask. Arrrgh. Home and crashed and then The Autopsy of Jane Doe about a witch, maybe and The Outlaw Josey Wales ... strange and a bit of southern propaganda, but interesting none the less.

September 6

Talked to Inger and later to Annika. Was called a coward with lunch (that one will hurt for a while). Cleaned out the truck and watched Quigley down under. Did not end well. Almost figured out an RV.
