CeCe is 10 today!

Practice Test #1 down ... three more to go. I didn't suck too bad ... maybe like a B- ... I forgot to give enough info on some things, and I ran out of time. Only one test gets graded, so for me it's just a good check about what things I haven't yet mastered (like, legal cause!).

I just picked up trash all around the outside of MY house because the neighbors put their trash on the curb all week on trashbags - not in the trash cans and not waiting until close to trash pickup day. So pizza boxes and cups and dryer sheets were blown all around. Crazy. And then one of them thinks that the spot right in front of MY apartment is HIS spot - which for now is fine, but come December when the neighbor moves in and one of us has to park on the street - I might just do it to be mean because my truck is almost always home and it would be a clear signal NOT to park there (though, I do work evenings ...). Not mean, just asserting territorial rights.

Have bad headache, making concentrating OH so difficult. It's a long day of 11 hours of straight work, well, really more for the 2 hours before I took my test at 9 am. Thank goodness for microwaves!

Weather here is icky now - really hot and muggy and rainy. It looks cool but I step out and it's like a sana. I'll be ready for some REAL cooled off weather! Ready to stop running my A/C!

In between classes I actually reached Dayton (phone problems lately) and sang "Happy Birthday" to CeCe on the phone while all sorts of law students were all around. She's not great on the phone - all she basically says is "yes," but I got a giggle and a thank you and I miss you and all that.

OK, must read 50 more pages of CrimLaw for tomorrow, finish my research for Legal Research and Writing, make an outline of everything we've learning in Civil Procedure so far, prep tonight's 4 hours of teaching, mop the floors, and eat dinner in the next hour and a half. Well, some of that clearly won't get done.
