I love books. I probably love them a little bit too much. So, you think I would be happy that my bedroom was absolutely bursting at the seams with books this morning, in preparation for writing some research papers, but the problem was that there were so many books that I couldn't really move around my room. So I took a bunch of books back to the library that I don't need anymore, but then I had to go get some others that I do need, and unfortunately I came home with even more than I took back. I decided that something must be done, so I got another cool little bookshelf to help me keep everything straight. Now hopefully I can find the books I need when I need them.
Today was pretty much spent just working and running errands. I tried to get my car serviced, but Midas was too busy, so I'll drop it off on Monday before class. I went to the post office, the grocery store, and the gas station to get a car wash. I also filled the car with gas, which was a painful experience, as gas is now $3.06 per gallon :-( I also did a whole truckload of laundry, which I now need to fold, and I typed up some of the house surveys we completed. I'm pooped! I'd better keep working until bedtime though, since there is still much to be done.
I went and took care of the kitties at Dr. Reid's house yesterday and today, and they are SO CUTE!!! I can't even believe how cute they are. Everytime I go over, Katie sits on my lap, and Eleanor sits on the back of the couch right by my head. Katie also goes and plops herself in the sink while I'm in the bathroom scooping the kitty litter, and it's totally adorable. She curls up in a little ball and fits perfectly in the sink. When I left today, there was a kitty in each window watching me go. They are way too cute for words :-)
Just when we thought we were done with the Dudley stuff, more Dudley responsibilities have arisen. Due to the publicity of the article last Sunday in the local newspaper, the Coles County Historical Society would like us to have the exhibit at the Dud's house open tomorrow and next Sunday for the public to come see (with some of us there to answer questions). It's good that people are showing interest, but I'm beginning to think that Tilford Dudley is now a permanently-attached appendage that we will always have to carry around with us :-) One week from today I get to fly to South Carolina for Thanksgiving break!!! When I think of all that has to be done between now and then I get all dizzy, but I won't think about that--I'll just think about how nice it will be to have a break, and work hard until then. That's one awesome thing about EIU--they give us an entire week off for Thanksgiving!
