Exciting news, friends! Lynn got a job! It will pay her money! And give her health insurance! And something to do while I am running around like a maniac at school and student teaching! We'll be able to get medication for our vomiting cat! This is totally worth all the exclamation points, FYI.

She has been looking so hard and for so long for a real job. I can hardly believe that it finally happened. Now she will be my sugar-lynn and feed me and take care of my every whim. (yeah, right.) But still, it is a thing of joy.

I am three weeks in to my half-time student teaching gig and I am exhausted. The apartment is a wreck and I go to bed between nine and ten most nights. I feel so old. I expect I'll adjust eventually, but for now the early nights and early mornings are here to stay. Speaking of running around, I have to go get ready for work now! I'll post more soon! So should you.
