WNBP: Never Give Up!

This week, Wednesday really snuck up on me.  I mean, honestly!  If yesterday was Monday (which it wasn't but a three day weekend will cause that sort of confusion), then today is Tuesday.  But tomorrow is Thursday so I'm not going to complain.  I'm rolling with it.  Let the Wednesday Night Bullet Post commence!!!

*My bathroom is an interior room with no windows.  


*Hence, when the power went out after I emerged from the shower, it posed a bit of a...challenge.


*I had to do my hair and makeup in the dark.


*Much like our forefathers did...


*Also had to heat my bagel over a can of sterno.


*Again, like much like the pilgrims warmed their frozen bagels.


*Oddly, the Cheerful Teaching Assistant seemed to think my hair looked rather good today.


*It is so weird to see a wedding ring on her finger.


*She has given me permission to stare at it until I get used to the whole thing.


*Best conversation of the day:

Ms. Sheep: (having just returned from an epic stand off in the office) That's it.  I'm done.  I give up!

The Great Debater: (focused intently on the same computer game that has entranced him for a month) Now what kind of attitude is that?

MS:  It is my attitude.  I am giving up.

TGD:  You can't.  Do I give up when things go badly at work?  No.  I do not.  I figure it out.

MS:  You help part time as a roofer.  You can't give up.  You are on a roof.  That poses a unique challenge when it comes to giving up.  I, on the other hand...

TGD:  Nope.  You can't give up.  You gotta keep trying.  You are a role model.

MS:  Fine!  I don't give up.  Happy?

TGD:  Atta-girl.


*The knitting is still in the time out basket.  


*I'll deal with it over the weekend.


*Unless I work up the will to get my car inspected.  That is sort of overdue.


*The local law enforcement officials are not the "giving-up" types.  One assumes they will get me eventually.


*Came home from a full day of teaching and epic battles in the main office to find a very happy Absurdly Gi-normous Kitty.


*Also a rather impressive amount of destruction.


*Took me several minutes to locate the wireless router.


*And the stand that is supposed to keep it securely in place.


*For what it's worth, this is fairly standard AGK redecorating so I think he is feeling better about being an Only Cat.


*Don't ask what it was like before...


*He is still waking me up at 4:00 in the morning, though.


*I have twelve more days of school.


*Eleven and a half, actually.


*Not that I'm counting or anything.  I love my job.


*That is what I keep telling myself.  


*Anything else would seem like giving up...


That's all I can think of.  I'm certain there is more, but I'm not able to identify any other Wednesday tidbits that might entertain you.  I think I shall just let it go at this and get ready to feed the mighty beast before he wastes away to nothing.  He's had a busy day, after all.  Then I'm going to rest up for another fun-filled day at the Education Factory And Home Of The Epic Stand-Off.

The Great Debater is right.  I can't give up now!
