An Ongoing, Erratic Diary Mary Anne's online journal http://www.mamohanraj.com/journal/ Copyright 2008, Mary Anne Mohanraj Thu, 3 Jul 2008 18:08:17 EST Thu, 3 Jul 2008 18:08:17 EST en-us (no title) http://www.mamohanraj.com/journal/show-entry.php?Entry_ID=4407 No writing yet today, but I've done a myriad of small tasks, as well as some exercise and a lot of online class work. So far, it looks like the online class is going to take about twice as much time as the in-person class. Interesting. We'll see if that continues. I watched an episode of <cite>Bones</cite> in the middle of the day, without trying to do anything else at the same time -- so decadent! Also finished reading Tepper's <cite>The Margarets</cite>, which I was simultaneously delighted and really frustrated by, which is par for the course for Tepper and me these days, it seems. Sometimes I wonder why I do it myself. And then I go re-read the True Game and am reminded.<P> Kevin's sister sent along some photos -- Aunt Susan, cousin Brooke (who is five months younger than Kavi, but you wouldn't guess it!) and my Kavi. Does she look like she misses me yet???<P> <CENTER> <img src="http://www.mamohanraj.com/Pics/Kaviarasi/kavi1.7.2.08.jpg"><P> <img src="http://www.mamohanraj.com/Pics/Kaviarasi/kavi2.7.2.08.jpg"><P> <img src="http://www.mamohanraj.com/Pics/Kaviarasi/kavi3.7.2.08.jpg"><P> (no title) http://www.mamohanraj.com/journal/show-entry.php?Entry_ID=4406 Well, Kevin and Kavi are off to California to visit his folks, and no, I don't miss them yet. Soon, I'm sure. :-) But right now, I'm reveling in the lack of responsibility. It's just me and Ellie, and y'know, I can pretty much handle feeding the dog and taking her out for a walk twice a day. Oh, and feeding the fish. And watering the plants. But still -- I feel like such a slacker.<P> So far, today has been all about me. I went and got a haircut. Then Lori came over to work, but we mostly watched her dog play with Ellie, because we could just stay here and work since there's no Kavi to worry about, so she brought Ursa. So cute. But I did buy my plane tickets to Toronto for the festival, and booked a long-overdue check-up at my doctor and wrote some e-mails for the online class. And this evening, I'm going to get a pedicure and my eyebrows done. 'Cause I can! And I'm going to make fish for dinner -- smelly, smelly mackerel that makes Kevin ill when I cook it with him around. I'm going to smell up the whole place!!!<P> Okay, I'm a little giddy. :-)<P>
