Miscellaneous, Anniversary edition.

• Working only once a week is a little surreal.  Three hours a week I am a dressed-up professional and the rest of the time I am a nursing pb&j maker. 
• Making the above worse, the university it department screwed up royally and I have been unable to access my email from off-campus for two weeks.  And they're not paying me enough to drag my kids over to campus just to check email...
• Harvested a bushel of pears this evening.  Probably another bushel or two still on the tree, not quite ripe yet.  That's a lot of pears!
• I need to email my pal with a standard apple tree.  That's also a lot of apples.  
• It's our anniversary! 8.5 happy years at LEAST!  (We have been married ten years today.  A decade is a long damn time.  Marrying Dr. S remains one of my best life choices.)
• Dr. S is celebrating by going off to watch a division III football game.
• I am celebrating by going to bed early.  
• (We are both not that into Big Dates and are likely to go out sometime this week for a walk or something.  And we're not into presents really.  And sometimes presents show up a month or two late.  My family is infamous for this kind of thing- along with mailing stuff in plain boxes without a note- and Dr. S just doesn't care.  If YOU do of course that is fine. There's a lot of room in the world!  Hell, some people eat lutefisk voluntarily.)
