For homework tonight Alex had to create a personal timeline of six significant events in his life. Here are three of them (from left to right): being born, being ring bearer in my sister's wedding, and his baby sister being born.
Our backups are a mess. For about a minute I was in a panic because all our pre-2005 photos were missing. Even after I figured out which hard drive they were on, it took me forever to find the ones Alex needed for his project. Now my eyes are totally irritated. Note to self: next time, take out my contact lenses BEFORE I start helping Alex with his homework.
Yesterday when I got to work, the student assistant on the first floor had the sad duty of informing me that all the elevators were out of commission. I groaned. The evil march up six flights of stairs wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't also woken up with a bad backache. As it were I think it just made things worse, and the pain stayed with me all day and all night, continuing until this morning, when I finally gave in and took a Tylenol. For the rest of today I was comfortably numb.
Short entry tonight. I need to get to bed to save up energy to climb up the stairs tomorrow. The elevators are scheduled to be out pretty much all day. This makes for the third outage during business hours this term. No worries, my building isn't falling apart; it's just going through a major construction/remodeling project. At least I'm only in my second trimester. If this happens again during my third trimester, I'll need to be carried up those stairs.
