The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Good morning.
I got the lawn mowed today and the bathroom sink unstopped!
Steve's in bed. He's catching the BOB at 5:45am for Stillwater. I am feeling really bleak. He can't even get ahold of one of his committee members, has been trying since last Friday to no avail. He *is* meeting with the other Stillwater-based committee member, but the guy said he might have some more changes.
~sigh~
And we've heard nothing from Steve's advisor here in Tulsa.
It will be a miracle if he actually graduates this semester. I'm beginning to think he'll be done with the paper in time to walk the commencement free and clear, but too late to officially graduate this semester. That's ok, but it sure would be nice for him to graduate this semester because then we can go on with our lives...maybe he'd get that new job and we'd get our bit of land...
Well, oh well...it's waited this long. A few more weeks won't kill us.
:-)
Just frustrating.

I'm so confused I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt!
It's not morning anywhere, is it??? LOL!
~sip~
Good evening, I should say.

Maybe tomorrow will shed new light on things.

Poor 2J. Have some cholesterol medicine and maybe an early night yourself - or just spend some time with us!

I'm washing his clothes for tomorrow. He was gonna wear his best shirt but I said he couldn't 'cause he wore it Monday when he went up there. So I bought him another one...same brand, same style (he likes them) in a different color. Then I noticed it had a spot near the color, so I got it washed and I'm waiting for it to dry so I can lay it out.
I'll probably take a Benadryl and hit the couch so I don't wake him up when I go to bed.

That's what I'm doing...sipping on Merlot and waiting for the dryer to buzz.
I should take a hot soak real quick. Be back in a while.
Oh...I took his gown out of the package and let Matthew take a hot shower while I hung the gown in the bathroom...the wrinkles fell right out!
To: Corin Stormhands
I think she was so pretty.
To: Corin Stormhands
Both.
See, Rocket was up on the roof off-loading a patient from a helicopter when he raised his arm to wave, and the helicopter's tail rotor severed his arm just above the elbow. They tred to reattach, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.
A season or two later, he was out in the hospital's courtyard when a medical helicopter fell on him.

Gotcha. Wife was still watching it around then, so I just remember bits and pieces.
...perhaps that wasn't the best choice of words.

Tell Steve we're all praying for him. It's gonna happen. I know y'all want it to happen this semester, but if it doesn't, then he can just take the knowledge that he's finished, get that great job and you can get your bit of land, regardless of when he stands or walks or whatever the graduates do.
SirKit didn't even take part in his PhD graduation ceremony; he had no desire to spend any more time at the school. We were on the road to Indiana and his first job, when they called his name out, but we knew he had done it.
