bother.

Bother. My posting got eaten, apparently because of slowness on the wireless network at Hot Licks. And here I was all excited about getting to do a wireless post, ’cause I’ve never done one before! hmph. :) Ted figured out how to make the wireless on my computer work, ’cause he’s very clever, and now I have all the power. Muahahahah. :) So I’ve been working all day on the copy edits for THUNDERBIRD FALLS, which are, as advertised, very light. Like, I’ve been working on them about 4 hours…

It is done.

The movers have come and gone. A nice man arrived on the doorstep about half an hour after they came and went and bought every piece of furniture in the house except the computer desks, which he probably would’ve bought if he’d had more room in his truck and trailer. He didn’t pay all that much for everything, but he TOOK THEM AWAY, which is all I care about at this point. However, it did mean we had to go check into corporate housing a few days early, because we…

More, really, but even once they’re gone there’s going to just be a lot of mess and a lot of furniture still in the house. The word ‘stressbunny’ comes to mind. I just want it all gone. Is this the part where we get to start screaming? Ok. I’m going to go shower and get dressed, because they might be here at 8am, and I need to be ready.

fruits of my labor

The fruits (and sweets) of my labor: That’s considerably less than half the jam I’ve made, but a lot of it has been packed up to be sent away at this point. And there was a whole other counter full of it that I just didn’t feel like moving to where I was taking the picture. The brownies have been decimated and 3/4ths of the fudge has been sent off to Ted’s work, so those aren’t particularly representative of how much there was, either. Still. That’s a lot. I was…
