Just got back from probably the most absurdly easy final exam I will ever take. Ten minutes, tops, to describe a balance sheet and income statement, then do a crossword puzzle of accounting terminology. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > This is how you know the professor is ready to retire I’m pretty sure this one has no plans to retire any time soon. She’s not THAT old, is apparently quite healthy, and enjoys her work. I suspect she did a final exam mostly as a formality, this being a practicum class. Wondering about tomorrow’s final, though, since that prof is a good deal older, with chronic health issues that seem to be getting worse quickly lately. _He_ may well not be teaching again next academic year. In fact, running a quick search for fall semester classes with an instructor by that name yielded no results, so this may well be his last semester teaching. ☹ ---

Howdy Y’all! Back at da cave after grillin’ eleventy bazillion burgers and hot dawgs. Ok, maybe not _that_ many but if felt like it whilst the grillin’ was happenin’. Anywho, they got et and a good time was had by all. As a part of tonight’s events (which did involve Evening Prayer and Holy Communion) the kidlets and not so kidlets, decorated balloons, which were then filled with helium and released as a reminder of Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven, this bein’ the Eve of Ascension and all. Tomorrow is [The Feast of The Ascension](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Ascension). Thus endeth today’s religious instruction. **red** I did indeed wear an apron, my _Have You Hugged An Episcopalian Today_ apron. That’s my official church cookin’ apron. And on that note I shall go snoop a couple of things on teh intartoobz and then turn in. I’s tahrd! Been a looooooooooooong day for da bear. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Somehow, I have developed a blister on my upper inner lip. IT FRICKIN’ HURTS!!! Tomorrow I will go out and get something for it; if that doesn’t help, there’s an urgent care clinic less than a mile away - maybe they can shoot it with some novacaine or something. Meanwhile, it’s too early to take another pain pill and I am miserable!!!
