Oh em gee, that would be fantastic.
It's not even that it's written in math, it's that it's written in statistics. The same

term means three different things, with its own formula. And those formulas can be really weird. I actually understand quite a few algebraic formulas, but this stats crap seems to be literally fantastical. "Sum this up and square it, then subtract the square of the mean (which can be three different things all by itself) and then you get this number that may be able to tell you the range of typical data." Why does this work? I can't seem to find a reason, it just sort of does. Obviously someone had to come up with this some time, and presumably they did it with solid math... Presumably. I can't make heads or tails of what solid math it's all taken from, though. We haven't been shown reverse engineering of the process. I need my reverse engineering, man, or I have a hell of a time remembering the process.

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

school may be out...but the learning continues! My epic garden is teaching me a lot this year about self-sufficiency, where to plant what (don't plant cucumbers too close to the beans as they will grow all OVER them..)..and next year...a taller garden fence as deer and other critters seem to love the same veggies I do!

Deer are just rabbits on stilts.

My aunt's yard looks like a "vegetable gulag", but it (mostly) works.

(Magics up a round of mixed-currant martinis using the black, red, and white berries she just picked from her yard.)

I may have missed my roses, but I've gotten back in time for the berries! The black raspberries should be ready in full force any day now. They come on so heavy that even the birds can't get them all no matter how hard you both try.

We're loading the PODS containers. Still haven't closed on the house, but it's looking promising. We've even told our son that we might get the pool opened in time for his birthday party.
Boychild is, btw, within two inches of my height now and his hands are as big as mine. The B-day is in two weeks, so I told him if he's going to be taller than me by the time he's 12 he'd better hustle.
(Yes MsA, you too will be staring at an increasingly hairy, more deeply voiced, starting to hug you sideways near-teenager in the not too distant future. Grab all the hugs, hand holding, cuddles, and tickle-fests you can while it lasts. I'd swear he was only five last week.)

So I'll just be taking calculus in person for the next five weeks. (Ahem.. withdrawn in disgrace from the online version.)

We've got the PODS mostly packed up with just furniture and a few other things to go, plus appliances. Hopefully we'll close early this week instead of late this week or early next, because I really hate camping even when it's in my house.

Heya all, long time no post. How's everyone?

We're closing Thursday.

This round's on me!

It's 1:38pm here. Closing's at 3pm. I also have a Calculus exam tomorrow for which I need to study.

I shall now hyperventilate and faint.

But not before I pour everyone in the bar a drink to celebrate the imminent closing.

I shall start with myself.

(Pours a perfect pint of Guinness and looks around expectantly.)

....aaaaaaannnnnd we're moved.

Not unpacked, but moved.

Pool's being opened as I type this, should be ready for swimming any day now.. which is good because it's going to hit the 90s this week with a heat index of over 100, and AC is not normally a necessity of life so we're a little under-equipped to cope with it.
Ice. We've got a big bag of ice and a lot of lemonade ready to go!

....a bag of frozen peas on your head helps in the no a/c area! Hope the unpacking goes well!

Note to self: buy peas, freeze, apply.

They're picking up the first of the two PODs as I type this. Yay! Soon I shall be able to park in my driveway!
I just spent the morning cleaning at the old place before it hets up.
