They finally brought my BOOKS! Well, the other box of them, anyway. Ted thought I was silly for having to take a look at the new box, ’cause they’re the same as the others, but I *had* to! Just in *case*! I noticed today our moratorium on buying new books seems to have something of a hitch in it. I’ve read 11 books since we decided to do that.

Last night I went and talked to ‘s writer’s group, which was fun. Kate picked up a copy of HEART OF STONE while she was at it.

thinks to do today: – call UPS and find out where the hell HEART OF STONE is – get tickets to America – attempt to get a hotel for WFC – get train tickets to Dublin – get a hotel for Octocon – make bread – do dishes – do laundry – clean kitty litter – shop, because there is nothing to eat in this house – somehow find time to write in the midst of all that. *ded* My author copies of HEART OF STONE have apparently been in…
