Now that Thanksgiving is over...

...we're completely wrecked. Yesterday afternoon, Dave went to bed and didn't emerge until two hours had gone by. I think he just passed right out. He's been valiantly fighting off a cold that, based on past experience, wasn't supposed to come until the semester was over, and yesterday it finally caught up to him. He took some Nyquil last night and didn't get up until around 9:30 this morning. I feel pretty badly for him. He took off running today, getting some grading done while I cleaned up the house. Of course, progress on both fronts was slow because in the midst of all of that, we were also playing with Henry and Holly.

Dave's got a week and a half of classes left before finals, so the end is in sight, and although he's seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, he's a bit grumbly that it's not coming faster. The man deserves a nice, long break.

This is the hardest part of the semester for me. Even though I know the end is in sight (we have 2 weeks left of classes plus 1 week of exams), it feels like I'll never get to the other side (which happens when the grades for this semester are posted).

us too!

I'm definitely never getting to the other side of this semester!
