Whoosh! It's Wednesday!!!

There is an upside and a downside to having holidays fall on a Tuesday.  The upside is that you are not working on a Tuesday because it is Veterans Day.  The downside is that you have to go back to work on Wednesday and you won't have a clue what day it is.  It feels like a Monday, a Wednesday and a Friday all rolled into one.  You're all jumbly-brained at the end of the day.  Thankfully, there is the Wednesday Night Bullet post to look forward to.  That is a no-brainer so it doesn't matter if you can't interpret the calendar.  Here's your bullet points!

*The "dishcloth" moves forward.  I am almost at the point where I can begin the ribbing for the neck.

*Note:  We will call it the "dishcloth" until the last possible second.  If we speak its true name then the Evil Forces That Hate It When I Knit Things With Sleeves will hear and there will be all sorts of nasty smiting.

*Smiting is messy and I don't feel like cleaning up after the Dark Powers tonight.

*The other thing that makes this Wednesday After A Day Off kind of yucky is that one of my Teaching Assistants is out for the rest of the week.  She had surgery yesterday and it seemed like a good idea for her to not drag herself in.  

*Now that I think of it, the painkillers might make the job more fun.  If she was willing to share them, the entire teaching staff might walk around glowing and telling the kids how much we love them...

*Nah.  That'd scare 'em.  We probably should remain our regular grumpy selves.

*My other Teaching Assistant is sick.  But she's coming in anyway because she is dedicated to the job.  

*And is maybe also hoping to spread the plague so that some of the kids will be absent on Friday when she is out for a training and I am left all alone to bravely keep the children from setting fires or running illegal gambling operations.

*That's nice of her...

*The Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty has a love of running water that is bordering on obsessive.

*Specifically, he seems to enjoy water that is running in a downward trajectory.

*Draining tubs.  Draining sinks.  He finds them fascinating.

*Recently, he has decided to learn how to flush the toilet.  That is the mother of all water-runners.

*Mostly he can't get enough leverage to pull it off.  That's good.

*Except when he can get enough leverage.  Then it's kind of annoying.  

*It is also sometimes a little startling since I am the only one here who actually uses the toilet and because I don't really have any experience with toilets flushing when I am in the living room.

All that whooshin' water...I finds it soothin'.  

*Hopefully this hobby will be as short lived as the cabinet exploration expeditions and the inexplicable need to remove the crumb tray from the toaster oven every night around midnight.  He has a short attention span.  Something else will catch his eye and I can stop shooing him away from the toilet.

*I hope.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!  Hope it was a good one for you.  If you need me, I'll be over here knitting away on the "dishcloth" and keeping my cat off the toilet.  Enjoy the downward slide towards the weekend!
