Whew!

So, Furball #2 is totally healthy - apparently I grossly over-reacted, which is nothing new. (The picture is of her telling me, "I told you I was fine!") After I finally got her to cooperate with her "sample" yesterday evening about 10 minutes before the vet closed down, I heard back from them today that everything was completely normal. I feel a bit sheepish in the light of day - kind of how you wonder if you were a total idiot when you were drunk at a party the night before...

In the next few days I'll finally finish grading and then I'll need to finally turn to my article research. I'm a little interested as to how this will go, actually. It's totally new research for me on a group of texts that I've never worked with. It's also my first "article on spec," i.e. it will have a definite home as soon as it's finished (by the end of the summer - but actually way before then because the end of the summer will be too crazy with me starting a new job). But this semester has seen me doing absolutely NO research whatsoever, so getting back into it will hopefully be like riding a bike.
