Ok, the book is now Officially Longer than it was before, and I am going to make dinner, probably work some more (it’d be nice to finish another chapter), watch my show (tonight’s the last night!) and…if I’m not done with my chapter, maybe work more between the two parts.

murphy’s law in action
The plan was to take an early train up to Dublin, visit my family for a few hours, then go to the Meat Loaf concert, head back to my family’s place to sleep, and to take an early train back to Cork in order to view an apartment before Ted had to go to work. You may guess from how I structured that, that things did not go according to plan. Cork City held a marathon Monday morning. The first one in twenty-five years, apparently.
