So I guess it's time to bring back my grumpy kitty. This is how I felt all day yesterday. Why, you ask? I woke up to what was dawning as a sunny day. Yay for sunshine!
But the temperature was 9 degrees
...Fahrenheit.
For you celsius people, that's....wait a minute....minus 13C (-13!).
Right now the temperature here is 20 degrees F, exactly the same temp as in Oslo and Stockholm right now.
But I didn't really get grumpy until I started grading student papers in the afternoon. Just explain to me how an assignment can say this:
"Your paper should be no less than 800 words, but you can certainly exceed that."
And half the papers stop somewhere around 400-500 words! Totally failing to develop their topic. And did I mention plagiarism? Just a little thing.
OK, OK, I know nobody cares..........and that makes me grumpy, too!

Could it also be that someone doesn't want to turn another year older tomorrow?
Better than the alternative, I always say! Happy birthday, Mom!
That's NOT why I was grumpy!
