I had plenty to do today but I decided not to do most of it.  The footie club had a reverse draw raffle and luncheon today.  I wanted to go but I did not want the 3 hours of walking to get there and back. Because it was an event,  I would need to look nice.  That meant that running over was not an option.  I looked up public transit and there were so many detours that it would take me 2 hours and 4 changes each direction.  I can't wait to be back to riding my bike.  By the way, for those of you wondering when that might be, I am not to ride my bike until I can do 10 pushups.  Right now I can do 1/2.  As in once up and down with my feet on the floor and my hands on my bed frame.  I'll have to start listing my progress daily so you can follow along.
So what did I actually do today: I finished my paper on the economic implications of Obamacare. Then I cleaned my room, water-marbled my fingers, read Game of Thrones, assembled the carrot cake, and started on my problem set for this week.

At 4 the new student that Katie is housing came over with her mother and sister for a pre-move in visit.  We at carrot cake and drank tea while Katie was demeaning and borderline offensive to them.  Nova, the girl that will be moving in with us, is from a very prominent Indonesian Catholic family.  Her mother either did not understand the conversation or was particularly good at holding her tongue.  Katie is accepting 2 more students at the end of July to earn more money.  She doesn't seem to realize that having students means that she is suppose to take care of them.  She is supposed to cook for me once a day and these other two girls twice a day.  I don't care because I hate her cooking and am happier when she doesn't cook but the other girls are expecting meals to be prepared.  She has already said that she isn't cooking every day....but they are paying her to cook for them...twice a day.... This could get interesting.

On that note, I made dinner for Katie and Stan tonight.  After dinner I organized myself for tomorrow, did all of my pre-reading, made some organizational facebook groups(for up coming projects) and packed my bag.
