SD - that cake looks like it fits my baking talents and diet!

stopdog · Apr 30, 2019 at 11:39 AM

I made it in a loaf pan because I think it is easier that way. It is pretty much a take on this:
Mamgu's Bara Brith | BBC Good Food

I will probably add spices next time just to see how I like it-but it is delicious without them

Ok, I am about to totally loose my S* . I started quilt blocks for another T project (yes, his awesomeness is out of town AGAIN)... I remember ironing them and setting them with my quilting stuff until I could go get the right blender fabric... now I have that and can’t find my squares... can’t just re-do them as one fabric must be special ordered. Looked in all my boxes, stashes, quilt in progress containers... nothing... I know H starts crap with me every time T goes out of town and he wasn’t happy about the squares but I think/hope I am just being paranoid.... I NEED to work on this... sadly I know exactly where T is out of town and am getting squirrrely enough just to drive my butt down there... sure THAT would not end well... and yes, I checked the fridge and freezer... I am a master at loosing car keys.

I hope you find your keys.

I've seen an ad for tiles which you can add to your items, which tell you exactly where they are.

Wanting to follow T whilst he's away on holiday reminds me of the movie "what about bob" .

I wonder if new cat would like to be steamed?

I am in grading hell. Grading from a rubric for the first time and I hate it. It seems to take longer and it depresses student grades.

One of my editing jobs is editing online college courses, and I HATE editing the rubrics. So repetitive and boring. I get the purpose of them, but still...

stopdog · Apr 30, 2019 at 12:35 PM

I hate using rubrics. Some of my colleagues would be lost without them and love them.
Why are you using one this time?

SlumberKitty · Apr 30, 2019 at 12:38 PM

When I was a student at UNI, I liked rubrics because it seemed to take away some of the subjectivity of the grade. You knew what the prof was looking for and it seemed to make it easier to hit those objectives. Never thought about it from the other way round though.

Using it pretty much for the reasons SlumberKitty gives. To help students.

But I think I’ll go back to my old system, in which I posted a rubric but didn’t actually use it in grading. However, I still need to finish grading this assignment by rubric, since I’ve already done 20% of them.

I always find lean chicken and white rice is good when dogs are having gastrointestinal problems, so if the vet gives you the go ahead, you might try that. I hope his appointment with the vet goes well. It's a good sign he is drinking and wanting to eat. When one of my previous dogs had an obstruction, she refused to eat or drink and she definitely wasn't acting her normal self.

Me: I'm going to go out to do work so that I can focus more instead of being distracted by T stuff.
Place where I'm doing work: Here's this song you associate with your T that you've never heard played here before. Enjoy!
Me: Damn it! Must not tear up.... (I mostly succeeded).

Also what happened with the cheating student?

I'm sorry you were triggered. I hope you were able to bring yourself back to equilibrium.

Thanks, mostly. And T just replied that he could see me tomorrow at 11:30 after all--he'd offered me that session yesterday, then said I had to decide quickly because another client wanted it, so I said I'd just email instead. Which I did, but felt almost more upset by his (long) reply. Turned out that client had to come in today (I'm guessing a crisis?), so he still had the slot available. So seeing him then instead of Thursday. Will try to figure out then if I need to take a break or something.

My interview is at 5:30. I should probably take a shower soon. I took one this morning but I am changing clothes and want to feel fresh. I am a little bothered because when I sent a text to the woman to confirm our meeting tonight, she told me her other nanny will be in on the meeting. That bugs me. The other nanny is choosing to leave the family to go be a teacher. Why does she get to sit in my meeting if she is choosing to leave? Not to mention with her present, that means the kids probably won’t come near me at all. Whatever..I’ll just roll with it and see what happens but I would rather the current nanny not be there. That’s not my call though.

SlumberKitty · Apr 30, 2019 at 02:20 PM

Good luck Jersey!!

SlumberKitty · Apr 30, 2019 at 02:20 PM

I'm so tired today.

unaluna · Apr 30, 2019 at 02:47 PM

I had a stressful day doing online grocery shopping. I know, first world old lady problems. But the first person charged for but didnt deliver like half my items, of an $80 delivery. It turned out okay, but a 2 hour task morphed into a 6 hour Coachella event (i tried on a pair of denim leggings while i waited, and peed multiple times).

First world stress is still stress, and it beats the whole purpose of doing it online if you have to go and sort it out again.

did you get the leggings? i can imagine you in leopard print for some reason.

p.s you can come over for dinner if you want. I'm eating grilled artichokes straight from the jar.
