The Excitement Never Stops

rolanniI 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!
