It never ends! The downstairs looks quite amazing. I mean, I know there’s pictures so you can see, but the emotional impact is quite astounding. :) But it’s got stinky scotch-gard stuff on it, only more expensive, and poor Chanti has been pretty miserable since yesterday afternoon. It’s been a VERY DISTURBING couple of days, what with taking ALL the furniture out of the house and VACUUMING and then CLEANING the carpets with smelly stuff, and then we brought NEW STINKY furniture in and she’s been pretty whiney and unhappy.…
new furniture!
New FURNITURE! All right, putting a little more effort into this entry. Drove around and got lost some but then we found the place to pay for the people to come take away the Nissan, and we did and they did and so after more than a year of having a non-functional car sitting in our driveway, we no longer do. Weird. Hit the post office, haven’t gone back to Office Depot yet, and the comic shop was very lukewarm about the prospect of buying Ted’s collection, so maybe it’ll…
more insane business
I donno about this vacation thing. It appears to be *far* more exhausting than work. We leapt up at the crack of um 8 this morning and I wrote 1100 not particularly good words, but at least I wrote them, and had breakfast and then trundled over to Title Wave just a few minutes after 10 in an attempt to beat the bringing-in-books rush. They said, dubiously, that they *might* get to our buy today. Maybe. Don’t hold your breath. So instead of hanging out while they did the buy,…

So of course that means I don’t really *need* the bound copy. *exasperated…
omg. headless chicken.
omg. headless chicken. Got up at a reasonable hour, stared at TQB for a couple minutes and decided I wanted to rewrite and do more worldbuilding before I went on, tried to print it out double-sided and screwed up, leaving me with an unreadable manuscript. Oops. Ted got up and made danishes (oh my GAWD yummy!) and we brought some of them over to Mom & Dad’s and brought Mom a spiffy new (to her) computer which is 2342335084607 times better than her old one. Hung out there for a…
