This would be externship letter season except for the fact that Harvard doesn't want any students traveling anywhere until at least after graduation. So I've written two letters, both for spring break in mid-March, instead of the hundred or so I was expecting. However, I'm writing things like a CODA report for the class of 2021 and various revisions to various people's CVs and a list of pros and cons for each of the seven semifinalists for an open faculty position. I feel a bit like the Lord High Everything Else this week.

The book I was convinced was being delivered by tortoise arrived yesterday, before it got snowed on. Ain't nothing slower than book rate mail. It took 28 days to get from California to Massachusetts. I hope the tortoise didn't get frostbite. But hooray, a book I haven't read yet!

Three pounds is a lot of mandarin oranges. I don't think I need to do that again next week. I wish I could remember what it was I wanted to put on the shopping list last night, and then didn't, because now I have no idea what it was. I don't even remember whether it was edible or not. All I know is it wasn't paper towels, because I know I don't need paper towels again yet.

Lily thinks a proper scritch starts just behind her eyebrows. Quirk thinks a proper scritch starts just before her shoulders. How do you teach a cat not to be head-shy?
