Overheard in my Illustrator class: "Was Bilbo Baggins a real person? Someone told me the movie was based on a true story."

Yesterday I suffered over twelve episodes of diarrhea. I don't think that contaminated food was the cause, because no one else who ate the same food got sick. I believe it was from swimming in a contaminated pool for my water aerobics class, which I dropped from my schedule this morning. Somehow I forgot the incident during a swim class two years ago when someone's feces were found at the bottom of the deep end.

The goal is to evade all traces of slow traffic. With this schedule, I will be able to sleep without the restraints of a bed time and an alarm.

Professionally, it has been an emotional week. Every person I've informed of my resignation responded with shock, frustration, or tears. I didn't realize how much I mattered or how much I was admired, until I announced our imminent goodbyes. Even the cafeteria ladies at the school I frequent for lunch each week felt sad. Consequently they've been feeding me extra large portions.
