Madeleine L'Engle died today. Looking back, I think that it was her, more than any other writer, who taught me to love literature. A Wrinkle In Time remains one of my all-time favorites. Rest In Peace, Ms. L'Engle, and thanks.
I'm in a miserable state right now. Just got off of work. I'm sore and tired all over. I have a little bit of work for my Saturday graduate course, which meets for the first time tomorrow. Plus, it's the weekend of the big festival, so I'm pulling extra duty at the restaurant.
Here's my schedule this weekend:
Friday: At school until 4:15. At the restaurant at 5:30. Work until midnight.
Saturday: In my graduate course from 8am-4pm. Work at the restaurant from 5:00-close.
Sunday: Work at the festival from 11am-4pm. Work at the restaurant from 5pm-close.
It's pretty depressing to think about. I guess I can sleep in a little on Sunday. Maybe my prof will let us out a little early on Saturday. Otherwise, it's a weekend of small rewards, except for money. But I really, really need it.
Tuesday, there's no school, so I can relax a little then. Of course, I'll be relaxing by getting a biopsy. More on that later. But hopefully not much more. Oy.

A Wrinkle in Time...best book ever
How's your foot?
It hurt my heart to hear she passed away. I recently had to re-read "A Wrinkle in Time," and I was amazed at the complexity of the book and all the many things I missed as a child. But when she was criticized for writing over children's heads, she said, "Never underestimate your audience." What brilliant advice.
Don't despair. You'll get through it all. You have before, right?
Very sad about Madeleine L'Engle.
Cassata: It is very good, yes.
Anon: The podiatrist has made me a pad for my insole, which is taking some pressure off of the cartilage-free bones. If that works, I'll be fit for orthopedic shoes of some kind. So far, it's been a day, and I think I might feel a little bit better, but I'm not really sure.
Betsy: You're making me want to re-read it!
Danielle: Thanks. Class is going well today.
Which festival did you work?

P.S. Cool book. Cool lady. A prototype for JK?
