Amount of days notice given by ol' Alma Mater for 14 hours worth of fully prepped teaching: Two.

I know! I'll play around with some balls of yarn and some fabric for a while...

must be landlord-visit-season all over - mine arrives tomorrow. Hopefully I can convince child not to destroy cleanliness before then? (doubtful!) rest easy that it will all be done - knitting seems the only sensible option, really
Combo yarn/blog stress therapy. There's gotta be a bestseller in there somewhere. I shouldn't be here in blog land either - heaps 'o deadlines. Good luck with everything (and cancel those anal-retentive guests. Who needs 'em?)
What IS it with pre Christmas flat inspections in this country? I think there should be a law banning them in December (or maybe it's a ploy to see your house as it really is not gussied up for the occassion).
I, too, have dealt with the stress of too many deadlines and not enough time by gratuitous and unnecessary knitting...
Sounds like comfort knitting is definitely needed. Hope you can squeeze some in!
(what's a landlord visit?)
Ear scritches to the pup.
Not much use for landlords, but for guests, hide an open tin of floorwax under a couch - everything smells clean!
