Yesterday I gave blood for the first time in a while. Despite some serious entire-arm pain afterwards, I was fine. Abby, on the other hand, completely passed out. Luckily I was there to catch her and nurse her back to health (with the help of about 5 phlebotomists). Unfortunately, it seems that that lost pint of blood pushed me over the edge into the sickness that I've been avoiding for weeks.
At least we have tomorrow off for Yom Kippur.
I have decided to go as Dora the Explorer for Halloween.
The more I study her clothing, the more I realize how clash-y it is.It turns out first graders can sort of read. Who knew? Today we learned five whole professions, and matched them with assorted objects we made (a pipe-cleaner stethoscope, a wallet with a paper policeman's badge, etc) -- the professions were written below each person, and the kids really tried to sound them out. For some reason, our one grumpy kid got into the singing and dancing today, which was great. Also, one little girl had broken her arm between Monday's lesson and today, and she asked us to sign her cast, which was really cute.
For good measure, here are some assorted pictures from my camera and facebook:
Our impromptu party on Saturday night.
Melissa took this one night when she was over for dinner.
She also took this one of me in Azariah's, the coffeshop/study area in the library where I spend approximately 20% of every day.
... aaand I don't know why this happened.
