Today was really cold and even rainier than yesterday. Sydney only reached a maximum of 13.8°C. Given how badly insulated Australian homes are, I was sitting inside all day, dressed in multiple layers, drinking hot tea, and freezing. I had to stop working several times just to try to warm my hands up.
And I just realised I completely forgot to do an update yesterday! Not that there was much to say other than that it was cold and rainy, though as it turned out not nearly as cold and rainy as today. Yesterday I spent time outlining my new critical thinking class for this week, on the topic of Mistakes. Then I developed a new class on the chemistry of acids and bases for that kid whose mother requested a science course for him. IN the evening I had a class and had a new student who brought my tally of countries that students are in to 60. The 60th country was Bahrain.
Oh, I also typed up a full recap of our last Dungeons & Dragons session, for the players to check over before our next session on Friday evening.
Today I just stayed inside and tried to stay warm. I did venture out in the car to Maggio’s Italian bakery to get some lunch. I did some prep work for Friday’s D&D game, looking thorugh some adventure material and thinking about where the PCs might go and what they might do. I also did some Darths & Droids comic writing.
But today Scully had to go to the vet for a teeth cleaning. She had one two years ago, and the vet at her annual checkup said she could use another one. My wife took her in in the morning and Scully was there the whole day until this evening. The vet x-rayed her teeth and found that one was cracked, so they had to remove it. So poor Scully is now woozy from the anaesthetic and some painkiller, a bit lethargic. But she ate a decent amount of dinner, so that’s a good sign. Very soft food instead of her usual crunchy kibbles. Hopefully she’ll be back to her perky self tomorrow.
