We had an hour, up to an hour 15 allotted, and I planned to burn thru the slides, leaving 15 mins. at the end for a demo of online resources and a cataloging interface. It all worked out ok, or at least in timely fashion. About 6 students showed.<\/p>\n<p>So, I went downstairs and made turkey sandwiches on cocktail buns for me &amp; the Japanese exchange student. We ate them with leftover samosas from <a href=\"http:\/\/schoolwoods.com\/2012\/12\/29\/sunday-suppers-winter-2013\/\">Sunday<\/a> and broccoli (me), and wheat sticks (her).<\/p>\n<p>I fiddled around with email and washed &amp; dried all the rag towels I&#8217;d been using to sop up the wet in the basement from the wintry mix weather event of the weekend &#8211; freezing rain and rain to grey slippery frozen ice-covered everything by Monday morning. In preparation for the next time it happens &#8211; the weatherman says it&#8217;ll be Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>So far so good &#8211; I watched another season one Downton Abbey episode &#8211; the one where Sybil gets knocked down in an Election Day fight, and Mary and Matthew&#8217;s first kiss.<\/p>\n<p>I broke into that stashed bar of Toblerone, and it tasted so good that I decided that if I washed the dinner dishes and folded the old towels, I could spend the rest of the evening (it was almost 9:00 by then anyways) lolling on the couch, eating chocolate, and watching TV. So I did. I got to see the current episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sho.com\/sho\/shameless\/season\/3\/episode\/4#\/index\">Shameless<\/a>, and the news. The two-hour penultimate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2385266\/\">Downton Abbey<\/a> was being rebroadcast on WI Public Television, and I watched a few minutes, but we just saw it Sunday, and I knew all the dialog already, so I switched to Letterman. The black cat was perfectly willing to curl up in my lap to keep me on the couch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130212-123552.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130212-123552.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130212-123552.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Posted from my iPhone while listening to a lecture by the writer &amp; blogger who does <a href=\"http:\/\/feministryangosling.tumblr.com\/\">Feminist Ryan Gosling<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday at 5:30, I had to do an online lecture for my organization of info class &#8211; 33 slides introducing library cataloging rules and record format&#8230;.
