The Earliest English Poems by Michael Alexander
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a book I had from a Brit Lit survey I took as an undergrad.
It's fine. (I do think the riddles are interesting, and I do think that there are rather more sexual innuendos in these poems than my teacher mentioned all those years ago LOL).
I have confirmed to myself I am never going to want to read "Dream of the Rood" for entertainment, so I may safely pass this on to its next home.

2. Last month, our power bill was extremely high. It was both a significant jump from the previous month and a significant difference in energy usage from the same cycle the previous year. We had the guy come service the air conditioner immediately, and this month's bill is $70 less and in line with what I was expecting to see. Hurrah!
3. The kids' school is now also disseminating information on its website and not just via Facebook. I didn't realize this until today, but Josh had called earlier in the week to complain. #besthusband
4. We got the insurance for the new car sorted, but the people at the tag office said it "wasn't ready yet" and to come back in Sept. Which whatever. I'm just ready to put this whole damn fiasco to bed. The check cleared, so that's good. So all that's left is getting the payment for the totalled car, getting the tag, and getting a decal for uni parking for the new car.
5. Next two weeks is putting together my packet for promotion to full professor (which mostly entails collating documents and tweaking already existing documents rather than generating new ones) and writing the chapter for the Harriet Jacobs book that is due October 1. I looked back at my proposal, and I'm very pleased with past!me. LOL *crosses fingers*
