...I am...
trying out new recipes
finishing up Dracula for my Gothic Lit class
working too many hours
suffering from shingles or hives, to be determined -- thankfully it's in a limited area, and not spreading... just very, very itchy
enjoying working with students, despite working too many hours
realizing that without derby practice after Thursday, we'll have two more nights at home
...The Boy is...
doing exceedingly well at the junior college (with a curve adjustment due to a number of low scores on the midterm in his Machine Tools Tech class, The Boy scored 109%)... he also finished his first tool, which is a drill gauge, handmade from beginning to end
designing a synskin (fiberglass, or shoji, paper) lamp—which will be hung in the living room—for his 3D art class... here's his working model
also reading, and really enjoying, Dracula, so we can discuss it
fencing here and there—being sick a couple of weeks ago really threw him off, and when he did fencing last Friday, he tired easily, and was really sore the next day
plugging along in math and writing, considering NaNoWriMo (young writers version)
spending spare moments playing Car Mechanic Simulator
...The Girl is...
slowly devouring The Marvelous Land of Oz
jumping ahead a bit in math
designing and developing a new comfort harness for dogs—she's hoping to launch her own (Etsy?) business by the age of 14
finishing up another season of roller derby, with plans to go back when it starts again in January
thinking about taekwondo or karate in the meantime...maybe...maybe not
reading about amphibians
working on her cooking skills
learning to play poker with M's help
laughing at The Worst Cooks in America
enjoying our October line-up of movies... we've watched Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, The Corpse Bride, and Sleepy Hollow so far, all with great success, although I will say The Boy enjoyed Dracula more than The Girl
trying to get history and science done—I really need to either get a handle on this, or just let go and trust unschooling these things
enjoying card games
looking forward to Halloween
...We are...
still watching Lost and having very interesting conversations about bits and pieces of itlaughing at The Worst Cooks in America

Oh, I hope it is not shingles, I had shingles in the spring and it was *awful*. I was completely exhausted and incapable of doing anything. Hope you're better soon!
