Now, how has it happened that it is 5:12 p.m. EDT, and I haven't started my grading -- a task I promised myself that I have done yesterday.

On the plus side --

I got a curtain rod up without mangling the walls too badly, and it seems secure.

I sold an makeup organizer on ebay for $22 plus shipping -- and I paid $19 for it 7 years ago. Big improvement over last weekend when I got $1.04 for two bath organizers that cost me $15 a piece.
