I Like Wednesday

Seriously.  Wednesday is good.  Minimal Thinking Day.  I get to come home, make panini and do the Wednesday Night Bullet Post.  Very relaxing.  This is good because I am feeling exceptionally scattered today.  Here's your bullet points on this chilly middle-of-the-workweek-evening:

*Weird commute this morning.  The sleet had stopped sleeting and the roads were delightful.  Everyone at school agreed on this.

*Which is why we were all so surprised when we fell down in the parking lot.  Apparently, there was isolated icing.  Who knew?

*For the record, it is always better to slip on the ice when everyone else does it.  It makes you part of the "cool crowd."  When you fall by yourself, you just look stupid.

*Lookit what Cathy sent me today:

Finn and Shetland...does it get any better?  Can you see the possibilities here?  And it just so happens that I have a vacation coming up.  Tee-hee!!

*Between that and the candy that Trek sent, I'm good for the foreseeable future.  I like to be prepared for Snow Days and unscheduled zombie invasions.  I will venture out for chocolate and fiber regardless of the circumstances, I fear.  It's good to have supplies on hand.  

*I have had a headache all day today.  It is either my sinuses, an incoming low pressure system or a symptom of being a teacher in December.  Or all three.  

*I should eat more chocolate.  Just in case.  You never know.  

*Gratuitous Blurry Kitty Photo For Mia:

Um... hello.  Can I help you?  I was sort of in the middle of thinking deep thoughts, here.

*Have I mentioned that I am trying to learn how to speak Scottish Gaelic?  

*I am out of my mind.  I really stink at languages.  I couldn't conjugate a verb if someone was holding a bag of moths to my stash.  I'd have to buy a new stash.  Or live stashless.  

*Sometimes I get it into my head that something would be a super-keen idea.  Now everyone who drives past me on the morning commute gets to see me yelling at my dashboard.  They probably don't know that I am trying to tell a CD that it is talking too fast.

*I really only need to know how to order pizza and locate the restrooms.  I can't see how I'd require any other phrases should I happen to take a knock to the noggin and wake up in the Outer Hebrides someday.  

*I can't say either of those things yet, so I'm thinking about wearing a helmet until I finish the course.

*I am starting to think that I should finish the Christmas shopping.  I don't want to rush it, though.  People hate it when others get their shopping done early.  I'll just sit tight for a little bit longer.  Plenty of time...

*I have just come up with another possible reason for my headache.  Denial takes a great deal of the blood supply from other thinking processes.  

*One more small weather event this week and then we get a break from the precipitation until Sunday night.  No one wants to talk about Sunday night so we are still unsure about how much snow we are going to get, but I always get nervous when no one wants to talk about something.  It usually indicates that a lot of something is heading our way.  

*I bound off another scarf tonight.  I'm now in the process of coming up with some sort of unique and eye-catching fringe to distract the recipient from the fact that I ran out of yarn at an awkward point in the pattern.  I'm pretty sure I can pull it off.

*Seriously.  Is there no end to the reasons why I have a headache today???????

Tomorrow is Thursday so I'll have to go back to more coherent posting.  That'll be nice, right?  Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy my Random Wednesday, eat a little chocolate, think about fringes and pet some new fiber.  Tomorrow things will just click right into place, I'm sure.  

Right?
