While it says "In at 11:00 am", my journey with H-dawg today begins at 10:30 when I get a phone call from her. On Wednesday, we had discussed me coming in at 10 or 11, whichever was better for me. I, being a person who enjoys sleep, was choosing to come in at 11. She called to ask if I had car troubles and that is why I was not there. No, h-dawg, it is because you told me I could come in at 10 or 11. She proceeded to give me a rundown (twice) of all of the things we will be accomplishing today, knowing that I was already on my way. She has a habit of that. Just let me be surprised! Or, if you must tell me, just give me a list when I arrive! You don't have to use 5 of my daytime minutes (which I use to check my e-mail while I am working for you) to tell me what I will be hearing in approximately a half hour.
When I get here, we start to work on this child's Science project (I came up with the project...plant growth in sunlight vs. shade...thank you, thank you.) We start to prepare the project, when h-dawg flips out because the Latin name for pea seeds is Pisum sativum. She is worried that a parent, or worse a student, might see this Latin name and be offended because it looks like the word "piss." I am trying very hard to explain to her that parents understand that that is the "Science" name for the pea plant, and will probably not assume you're trying to pervert their children's minds...but she is not agreeing with me. So she makes me white-out the Pisum sativum part of the packet.
Now, this last part of my day is an ongoing thing with h-dawg. She takes continuing studies classes at John's Hopkins University. More specifically, she takes a current events class every semester. Along with being a tutor for Dyslexic children, she is a musician and political activist. Current events/the election/the war/etc are all a very big deal to her. She spends a lot of time writing letters to politicians and stuff. While this doesn't really interest me, it was kind of cool that she got a personal letter signed by the late pope.
Anyway, that was a tangent. Her professor for these current event classes is this guy who she describes as, "George Clooney only better looking, hilarious, very knowledgeable about things that she is interested in , and all around a great guy." She has also told me that she was, "Dead from the neck down until she met him." I'm pretty sure I know what this means, and it really makes me uncomfortable. Hahah.
She thinks they are "involved" (they are not.) She also tells me that he sends her good telepathetic energies. He is always sending her good vibes and she is always mentally lashing out on him. She thinks that this is causing him to drift away from her. I have no idea what to make of any of this. But she spends a very large portion of our work time talking about this. I hope this is not how I feel and act when I am older.
