Just sitting at home, glass of water in hand. Grade book sitting on the coffee table, giving me the evil eye.
I think I can beat it.
Tomorrow I have a lovely new dishwasher to buy and then a massage! I love massages!
The next day is reserved for shopping at the garage sale extravaganza - The White Elephant Sale! If you live near Oakland, this is preview time. Otherwise, go when they open.
It's a giant warehouse full of crap that you probably don't need but garage sale prices. I always buy books for my classroom. Maybe this year I'll get an armchair. Hmmmm.

When I first got mine, I hung out at http://www.macnn.com
Check out the Forums....It is a good place to learn not only what you are doing with software but also a little tidbits about your hardware.
If your gradebook is a pain, try www.gradekeeper.com. They have a program for $20 that is just like your paper grade book. It's very simple and everything is laid out in a really common-sense way. It calulates everything with whatever weights you want. It's easy to post a new grade sheet every week, so your students always know what their grades are. I'll never use any other program.
I agree with you that we run the risk of damaging our students. Many of them have been traumatized by their previous teachers , and we have to be careful not to do the same. Teaching is definitely an exercise in sensitivity.
