Must, must, *must* start laundry as soon as I’m done with this entry. The skies are orange this morning, with shadows blocked out on my walls in a delicate peach that suggests curling up in warmth and comfort, not wildfires ranging three hundred miles north of me. I’ve redyed my stripe back to brown and cut off the anime flips. We’ll see if this is enough change to keep me from cutting my hair; it certainly seems different to *me*. Ted and I were going to go see The Terminal…
banner day
It’s been a good day! I got email from Barb telling me that I got a raise, and I’m now making, officially, More Money Than I Ever Imagined I Would.

I reconstructed the list just now, but on a whim went to see if Google’d cached a more recent version, and indeed, they had! I lost nothing at all! Hooray for Google! (Although I did properly reconstruct the list, I discovered after comparing the list I’d put…

Smug. *Exceedingly* smug.
