Read online discussion comments, wrote a recommendation, taught two classes, met w/ two different students re: research paper, revised lecture, wrote up lesson plans for all next week, read two chapters in source reader, wrote up two sets of discussion questions, dealt w/ both work and student email, checked on LIS classes' readings/assignments/due dates (some reading & discussion to do this week and should work on last big assignment).
It's now 4 pm, I'm incredibly stiff and sore from yesterday's gardening, and I'm gonna go home and drink tea and edit ficlets (or else read Yuletide canon). *nods firmly* I can write a quiz and another recommendation at home later this week, also grade a couple of reviews and do a last bit of reading for one of the classes I'm teaching. So yeah. Outta here...

Worked in the yard for 3+ hours today; raked (w/ SO's help) 10 bags of leaves, also planted about 100 bulbs (daffodils, crocuses, iris). Am now tired and sore. OTOH, I slept in till almost 9, so I'm less tired than I might be.
Have also talked with my mom, and am about to go start cooking soup and chicken. SO is walking Juno with the neighbors and Scruffy. Was too brain-dead to work on resume etc., but maybe will manage a bit after dinner, and also plan to read for tomorrow's class.

The first two need to be made about 3 days ahead; I'm not doing the pickled peaches for Thanksgiving this year, but I'll make the cranberry relish tomorrow. Not making pumpkin pie this year either although I expect it will be around, just made by someone else.

Finished the pathfinder, both paper and web versions, and submitted 4 hours before deadline. *does happy dance* Only one more major assignment, plus a final exam, for the two LIS classes, if I remember correctly. Will double-check tomorrow. Possibly a minor thing or two as well, not sure.
Also today took SO out to lunch, went to four stores for grocery and other shopping, and made a white-bean-and-greens dish that turned out pretty well (which is good since there's like 3 or 4 more meals' worth!). Watched part of ST:XI during dinner, SO's choice.
Tomorrow: walk Juno (hopefully) and/or do some yard work, work on resume and job apps, cook for the first half of the week, talk to maternal unit, and do some reading for classes.
Other things to do over the next week: start writing holiday letter/cards, make a lot of cranberry bread, possibly bake regular bread, write/edit some fic, work on last big LIS assignment, go to the art museum, cook a lot, clean the house, and do the last course preps for the term. I was really really clever and managed to schedule things so that I don't have any grading of substance to do over Thanksgiving, go me!

Mostly greens this time: collards, something that's either chard or beet greens, some greens that I can't identify but are clearly for cooking, green cabbage, a small head of broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. Still have last week's collards and beets, too. So - I found a recipe for beans and greens, cooked white beans w/ the greens then cooked in them, with garlic and olive oil. Should be okay and seems easy, which is a plus. Also going to make herb-baked chicken breasts and Russian potato soup, along with cooked radishes (SO is dubious, but willing to try) and cooked beets for me.
We're having Thanksgiving at our neighbors' (J & C), so I'm not responsible for the turkey, yay! SO is supposed to go over later today and find out what they'd like us to bring; he's already volunteered to bring the butternut squash and apple dish, but probably I'll make at least a couple of other things also. Thus I will not do the grocery shopping until after that's been determined. Sometime this week or maybe next weekend, I plan to make cranberry-nut bread for local gift-giving, too.
In the meantime, back to work on the pathfinder. The library catalog was being uncooperative last night; here's hoping it's working right this morning.

Or in my case, working on the weekend. We didn't have our usual Friday "date" tonight, i.e. going out for dinner, partly b/c we both have work to do tonight, partly b/c we had to eat out so much last weekend while traveling.
I graded quizzes and reading responses and wrote up the last paper assignment for one class this afternoon; also finished/submitted an LIS assignment, and spent 1+ hour in the library looking up stuff for the other one (due tomorrow). Dictated some drabbles and posted one (link at end).
Juno was not good tonight; our neighbor-across-the-street J. was over talking with SO and brought his dog Luna, and the two dogs were playing pretty well in the back yard. I fed Juno when it was her dinner time, and then gave each dog a biscuit. Juno ate hers immediately, and when Luna didn't and dropped it in some leaves, Juno went after Luna's and there was a brief brawl. SO and J. managed to separate them quickly, but clearly they cannot both be given food in proximity, or else there will have to be very close supervision.
Okay, I have to work on this assignment. It's not conceptually difficult or anything, but substantial. Sigh. Not due till midnight tomorrow, but it would be good to get most of the content worked out tonight and then all the formatting etc. tomorrow - it has to be presented as both a paper flyer and a web page/site.
Have I said lately how glad I will be when this semester is over? All right, here's the drabble:

I finished editing and submitted two fest fics today. Which leaves yuletide and 3fan_holidays yet to go, for which I don't have bunnies quite yet (and am still reviewing source material for Yuletide anyhow). So I'm in good shape there, yay! Have some drabbles to work on in the meantime so my commute will be sufficiently occupied.
Did do some LIS work, some reading and beginning on an assignment, but will need to finish that up after dinner and turn it in. The other assignment I'll be working on tomorrow and Saturday, oh yeah. That's a big one - creating a pathfinder aka finding guide, in both paper and online versions. My other task this weekend, Sunday, will be to finalize my resume (and send it to my various recommenders) and see if either of the jobs I was looking at is still open, and write letters if so.
Took Juno to the dog park and also picked up some beer for SO, as he'd been out for a week. It was warm enough that I had the back door propped open this afternoon, and our neighbor dog Scruffy (Juno's best bud/playmate) escaped his own yard twice and came visiting, once even coming upstairs with Juno. I returned him and I think they've located the escape point and fixed it now.
I have salmon casserole in the oven for dinner and it smells yummy already. SO should be home soon...

A bit late, but I can now thank alisanne officially for having written "Unveiled" for me in this year's fall_fantasia; and I can also claim authorship of the fic I wrote, which was for her! *g*
Haven't been able to get much done today, as I unexpectedly ended up having a lunch meeting w/ a grad student, and then there was a dept. meeting (which thankfully did not go as long as usual). So now I'm headed for home. Need to slam through edits so I can submit fest fics, also work on LIS reading and assignments (one due tomorrow, the other now postponed till Saturday, huzzah). I did manage to get next Monday's classes prepped in between meetings, so Friday I can spend time at the library here to check on some things for the Saturday assignment.

In which I walked Juno, did 3 loads laundry, read some for class, went to class, and made dinner. That was pretty much it. I managed to get 9+ hours of sleep last night, too. Still in sleep deficit though. Sigh.

If I missed anything important this weekend - personal or fic-related or whatever - please poke me, and link, as it's doubtful I'll be able to skim back and see everything. Thanks!
