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.

omg. went to the chiro. SO much better now. *tud* Also: Ted went and bought a spiffy new vacuum cleaner. It is like a miracle. Tomorrow we’re going to move all the furniture out into the garage and scourge the carpets. Maybe we’ll buy a hardwood floor NEXT year! :) And oh, wow! I’m making Stella a new site design, and she’s sent me some truly *gorgeous* bead necklaces that she’s made in payment. Wow, they’re *so* pretty! I should take pictures of them! There’s earrings to match one of…
