the days of the week are taking turns...

Last week Tuesday tried to be Monday; this week it's Wednesday's turn.

• Shortly after I got up this morning my digestive tract went on strike.  So I stayed home for the morning.  Thankfully my guts and the rest of my body have come to an agreement and I'm feeling fine now.
• The 11:25 bus did not come, or it was VERY early (and the stop where I would get on is the end of the line, so it should hit that time relatively consistently).  This meant that I had to take a much longer, more circuitous bus ride to get to a train station to get to school.  I left the house at 11:15 and got to campus at 12:25.  That is not awesome.
• My new red shoes (more on them later) are rubbing more than I would like.  I had on a fun dress with them only I discovered that there was an inkstain on it so I had to change.
  
• I am locked out of the departmental office - I neglected to grab my keys when I dashed out to class.  I will go back down there in half an hour when the next class period ends and if nobody turns up to let me in, I'll call public safety to let me in.  From a campus phone, as my cell is also locked in the office.
• It is the fourth day of class and I am already hemorrhaging time.  I am SO GLAD I built in "loose ends/review" days before each exam.

I am, as Alexander would put it, having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day.  Except that all things considered, I'm in a pretty good mood.  I have recruited yet another participant for phase 2 of the dissertation, my students seem pretty interested and engaged for the most part, and I'm sitting here in the sunshine and about to have a coffee.  So it's not all bad.

Oh, I was going to post about the fashion!

Yesterday I popped into AJ Wright because, well, I could (it's right net to the grocery store).  I picked up a couple of things on my "want" list - a baby blue trenchcoat with a neat geometric woven-in pattern and a pair of red patent t-strap flats.  I immediately knew what I was going to wear today - my blue floral shirtdress had been WAITING for me to get red shoes so I could wear my skinny red patent leather belt with it.  It looked super-cute, too, if a bit ... patriotic.

But then I noticed that I had an inkstain on the dress.  FASHION CRISIS!!!!  So I changed into a grey pencil skirt and a white bias-cut linen tunic top that I threw the red belt over.  Got a compliment on it from a student, too.  ;^)
