And not for the GOOD reason, either.:-P
It's been in the upper 80's the last two days in a row. It's way too early for those kind of temperatures. Global Warming sucks. Couldn't get to sleep at first due to allergies, finally got up around one and took an antihistamine which helped. I did get to sleep, but had left my bedroom door open so I could get a crossbreeze, which Adolescent Cat took as an invitation to come attack my toes at 3am and again around an hour later, so what sleep I did get wasn't very restful.
Then today was our departmental commencement. We used to have 5 staff people, now we have 2, me and the graduate secretary. We had to do everything that the staff of 5 used to do. We had more people attend than we have ever had before. Still, it went very well, I think, and it's always so nice to see the families and how excited everyone is. Unfortunately once it was over that just left the two of us to clean up, because Goddess forbid a faculty member sully their hands picking up trash or putting away folding chairs.
However, to my stunned amazement, the family of one of our graduating seniors who were still hanging around chatting went around the amphitheatre picking up trash and helping us, even after we protested and tried to make them quit. There they were in their commencement finery, helping us clean up trash!! My faith in humanity is somewhat restored. I almost cried.
Anyway, I'm home now, resting my sore feet and that reminds me that I made a new icon last night. I've already used it so this is only sort of a GIP, but here it is anyway. I can't be the only person to notice that Illya/David has his shoes off a *lot* in MFU eps. :)
