went and got maurice out of gutman. and read a whole bunch of children's books while i was at it and it was good. feel so much happier and rested. and will have to do some work tonight, because zak is coming up from new york tomorrow.

cat-sitting for a girl in the english department and expect to get a lot of reading done in the next few weeks, while sitting with cat. am i any good with cats, i wonder? dogs i have had four but cats never. well, doesn't matter. i'm reasonably patient with animals so long as they are not frogs or fish, and not very squeamish about messes. righto.
