My son had a fever and had to stay home from school, so not so much work done today. We watched a DVD on the Ocean which was cool and we watched March of the Penguins, also good. Then I had to run out to the Univ to chat with my prof about my dark elf chapters. I was worried they were boring, but she seemed to like them. She did mention an idea about the ways in which "othering" ocurs that was fabulous. I'm excited about going back to add that in. I'm trying to get through getting in the paper edits. Finished for DE yesterday, got an OK amount done for Shift.

I've discovered the puppy loves popcorn (No oil added!) I mean really really loves it, but it makes a mess. So I went to get the broom but the tile guy FINALLY!! was able to come today so we can finish the repairs after the tile was walked here from Texas, apparently by someone taking frequent breaks along the way. So anyway, we told the tile guy to come whenever he could, we didn't care as long as he arrived ready to lay some tile. So then I had to quick clear out the utility room and now I don't know where the broom is. My room looks god awful. Maybe the broom will show up tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm trying not to look at the floor.

No pirates like yesterday, but then I had to go home because my son was sick. Probably they came after I left and looked like Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
