This past week was spent doing more moving. I am now a moving expert, and so I was naturally Kelsey's first pick to help her move her things from Virginia to her new apartment in DC.
Her things and Rupert, who does this whenever you bend down even a little.
If you accept him, he will jump off after a moment.
If you react with fear, the claws come out.
I learned that today.
When we arrived at the apartment, we found some cupcakes that her landlords had left.
They have a one-year-old who happened to have a birthday party the day she moved in. I don't think we would have gotten cupcakes with sea creatures on them otherwise.
In the meantime, I have continued to move things in to/upgrade my room.
Look! I put up a picture from Curtains.
And I put up a wood engraving I got in China!
And I installed everything in this closet, including bar, shoe shelf, and side shelf.
Kels and I weren't the only ones moving things and remodeling, though. The much-loved Fort at Steph W's place has come back as Fort II.
And again I only got a picture of it from the outside. There is seating for about ten inside, though. And a TV and food. It is great.
Classes officially started this week, and I think I'm really going to enjoy what I'm taking. Evidence should be good because the two judges teaching it seem like they really know what they're doing, and Professional Responsibility will be fun because Ben and Davia are in the same class. A lot of work, of course, but fun.
Today I'm teaching a class at my high school about the exceptions to the warrant requirement. I feel as though I can do anything after this morning, when I woke up early to go on a run with Kelsey that ended up being an extreme run of doom. The idea was to just run around what we thought was a small gated cemetery and what ended up being an enormous retirement home for veterans that shot us out onto a highway with no sidewalk where we had to off-road for a while.
Only four miles, but it felt like a LOT more given the off-roading and fear of death. And it was raining. And uphill both ways.
It makes me very happy that you have a satellite image to prove how much doom there was. =)
ReplyDeleteNo satellite image will convince me that run was less than 6 miles:) But I think I found out why the Soldier's Home property was so vast (where the retirement home was): It is the site of President Lincoln's cottage (http://www.lincolncottage.org/)
DeleteHmm... let me talk to my co-worker when she comes back. There are apps you can get that will map running routes for you that will provide you with accurate mileage and less chance of death-defying actions.
ReplyDeleteAll relevant evidence is not admissible, liar.
ReplyDeleteWell I didn't want the post title to be "Generally, all relevant evidence is admissible."
ReplyDeleteCats are good. So are cupcakes. I'm on the fence about classes these days ;).
