I’m writing responses to various students and their projects. I should have been writing another essay, too, but haven’t yet. There are still a few more hours of workday today.
Yesterday Maestro curled up to sleep in the nook of my knees as I lay down reading, but when I (foolish human) got up to get something he stalked away to sleep on the doona instead.
