You've Got Mail

Normally Momoko and I get all the mail from the mailman. They are either bills or junk mail. There always seems to be a lot of it. Once in a while Little Kat will get a magazine.

Lately there has been a mail change. Kit Kat is getting all this mail. And they are from colleges. Huh? This kat is only a sophomore. Why are colleges hounding her already?

It seems Kit Kat took some test at school. And she marked that it was ok for colleges to send her stuff. They are jumping on the band wagon. Times are tough. Colleges need students to make that $$$.

Perhaps the best way to look at this is that Kit Kat did well on her tests. So the colleges want her. As long as they are ponying up for some scholarships, I say let there be mail for Kit Kat.

Getting Off Work!

Little Kat was sick during the night. He still had an upset tummy and last a slight fever when I checked on him this morning. I decided to let him stay home but I knew I needed to be here to take care of him. He might not get enough rest if there were visions of Wii, unattended in the house. It is hard to get off work at the last minute and I had to administer a test (which Little would be missing by staying home). I arranged for a half day absence and asked my boss if I could get off any sooner. She said I could go home right away and she would find someone to give my test but I figured I was already at school so I might as well stay a little longer. I also knew Black was at home for a little while. I ended up getting off earlier than I had expected and made it home a few minutes after Black left. Little was snug in bed but was feeling better. He was able to keep some food down and he even worked on a little homework. I will be watching him today to decide if I will be taking another day off.

Low on Tech

I got an email from my college reminding me that my online class starts soon. There was a bunch of steps listed to get ready for the class. One step was to take a test to see if I am fit for an online class. It seemed a bit late for that (I already signed up). But I took the test anyway.

Surprise surprise. The test told me I was not that strong in technology. What? I am a computer programmer. I should score tops in technology. Or maybe I don't score high compared to normal college aged kids. They grew up with the tech.

Microwave Blues

Yesterday Kit Kat and Little Kat told me our microwave broke. I had them do some checks, and indeed it seemed dead.

Last night I stayed up late studying for a test I am going to take in two weeks. So I did not want to get out of bed this morning.

Mamma Kat kept telling me we needed to go buy a new microwave. I don't know why I need to go. You just select one and pick it up. Besides, we have a working microwave in the basement.

After being pulled out of bed this morning, we went to Best Buy to get the microwave. I like them for electronics. However I was disturbed to find out the local Best Buy was out of business. Ouch. Luckily there was a Home Depot next door that was happy to sell us a microwave and some other goodies for the house.
