I have a floor! Mind you, it's covered in tatty green wall-to-wall that's seen better years, but -- a floor!

The worktable is under excavation. I found my course materials and my contract. The class does not, as I became convinced in the wee hours of the morning, start tomorrow. I have time to, like, prepare.

In today's mail -- a bill from Dead River Company. Also, Linens and Things sends me a birthday card somewhat ahead of the date, but It's the Thought That Counts.

On the way to the post office and the bank, spotted: a herd of wild turkeys in a field; a fawn running along the edge of a wood; a bald eagle, sitting in his favorite tree at the bend of the Sebasticook in Benton; a creature-that-sits-by-the-side-of-the-road-and-eats-grass (popularly known as a groundhog). I like Maine.

Shopping has been committed. I turned a gift certificate into two books and a CD -- James Tiptree Jr.: The Double Life of Alice B. Sheldon; Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al Madinah and Mecca, Volume I (Richard Burton); and the Eugene Ormandy Good Parts version of The Nutcracker.

Anybody got a favorite version of Swan Lake?

Tried a new recipe for bran muffins (and got myself a nice burn on the inside of my arm, too. Now it hurts. *sigh*), and started the laundry.

Up for the evening: A Staff Meeting!

a good treatment for burns is any after sun product that contains Aloe. You may not have any at home in Maine, but we always have it due to kids with lack of foresight in the early days of summer: there's always one picnic or pool party that results in a sunburn. The stuff works on regular burns too, and also moisturizes the skin so that you get significantly less scarring if that's an issue.
