*does a small dance of victory* The HANDS OF CHANGE proposal is off (and, inevitably, my editor is out of the office. I don’t think I’ve turned a single proposal or book in when she was *in* the office!), so that’s done. Now it’s just to finish the QUEEN’S BASTARD revisions over the next four days, if possible. I really, really like that book. It’s almost like reading something someone else wrote, the voice is so different. A Specialist came and fixed our shower! It works now! We’re very excited…

updatey
– shower: still borked. they’re sending in a Specialist. – cooker: still borked. they’re not actually telling me what’s to be done. – microwave: not replaced. maybe tomorrow. – beds: not replaced.

bweh.
Okay, so I’m sneaking a break on the laptop to make a posting, and after this God only knows when I’ll be on again, because our broadband is not scheduled to be turned on until July 30th (augh!), and while I will therefore probably only have access when I hie myself to an internet cafe. Odds are good I’ll do that at least every couple days, but waugh no net. On the other hand, I have revisions to do and a proposal to write (two proposals, if I really have…
more about the house
Okay, since we actually have a place now, I will say that we’re moving into Cork City centre, rather than living in beautiful but comparatively remote Cobh. This was prompted, more or less, by 1. the Paco Peña concert and a wistful comment on both our parts about how nice it would be to be able to go to those (concerts in general) without much in the way of fuss, and 2. an epiphany on my part. I’ve said a number of times that if I ever moved back to…
