"reassured nobody will drop in no makeup or fancy getup" - you think you are safe. Ha! I thought that that too. The head of my department drove thirty-five miles to surprise me with an end of the year gift bag. Luckily it was the five minutes I was gone to pick up my husband from the auto shop. Like this one a bunch. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.

The intention was sweet ~ but you shouldn't be opening your door anyway!

Too funny ~ cats are great company, they're not too needy, just right.

great picture to go with your message, Line. You should see my students on Zoom. oh, you CAN"T see them. Most of them hide their faces from me, the little rats. I really hate teaching to people who will not show their faces. But I imagine most of them are like this picture, lazing in their beds and in their Pjs'!
