For the Whovians on the board. My BD cake from a couple of years ago,View attachment 86191

That is so awesome. My eldest son would LOVE that. Only now, I'm thinking I need to make him a cake that actually LOOKS like the Tardis. Off to see what thinkgeek has...

I've never gotten into Dr Who but that is a super cool cake!

I'm finally home. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I get home 11 hours after I leave it. It's a 45-minute commute. On Mondays, I teach from 11-1, go to my part-time admin job from 1-5, then teach from 6-8:15.

Wednesdays, it's admin job from 10:00-ish to 3:00-ish (I'm always 'late' to that job if I'm coming straight from home, though it doesn't really matter because it's not a time-sensitive job and I always put in my hours and my work. Plus, no one cares. So it's often 10:30-3:30 or a bit later.) Then teach from 6-8:15. I often do some planning and grading while having some dinner during that break.

Friday is easy - just one class from 11-12, but I usually stick around and do a bunch of grading so I don't have to work on the weekend.

So I'm tired tonight, y'all.

But tomorrow, I get to take out The Beast to get some more fall foliage shots in before they all go away:

Whoa, that's a long and complicated day, Leonore!

My Wednesdays are often just as long, but without so many twists and turns. I usually leave the house at about 8 to 8:30 a.m. on Wednesdays, work until about 5:30, then head to church for dinner, service and choir practice, and home by about 9 p.m., about 12.5 hours later.
But I'm a morning person, so I'd much rather start earlier and get home earlier. Not getting home until after 10 pm would make me cranky.

Oh, wait...everything makes me cranky. So, there's that.

Our fall foliage has barely even gotten started.

We have a couple of red leaves, but not many.

Yeah, and that's a lot less complicated than it's been some semesters. In the Spring, I was teaching my two classes, doing my admin job, taking two Paralegal classes and doing an internship at the DA's office. That was insane. I used to go at that pace in college, but trying to do that at 43 is a whole different ball game!

(Everything makes me cranky, too! I knew I liked you!)

Such is the life of an adjunct. Someday, I hope I will become a Real Girl!

My wife has a nephew in Monroe - about 45 minutes South of Detroit. I'll see if I can find his number.

Wait til you get to the NEXT decade, and then you'll wish you had the energy you have at 43! It all starts going downhill, FAST!
