Wow. Very tired. We had a really nice afternoon out at Eric and Janelle’s, and I have eaten way, way too much. Now I have to get right back into the habit of not eating too much, which I was doing nicely at for a couple of weeks there, between the book deal and the being ill. And as of tomorrow I have to get back on the road to Rivendell, although I’m not going to make it by the 17th. There was a letter from the IRS today saying,…
nice day!
Boy, it turned out to be a very nice day.

I haven’t gotten to the slash and burn part of the editing yet. Stupid rewrites. (Stupid orcs.) It snowed about 6 inches…

Mmm, yum. Dinner was excellent, as was the company. The pecan pie turned out, which makes me happy (I’d never made one!), the turkey was *really* delicious, and somehow I managed not to overeat. Yay! :)
well!
Well. Here it is, two of the afternoon, and it has been a very busy day at the Murphy-Lee-Sandness househould. Ted’s been cooking since about 8:30 this morning; rolls and stuffing and casseroles and turkey and probably some other things I can’t think of right now. Shaun and I have been cleaning house, assisted by Ted when he wasn’t cooking. The living room has been rearranged. The laundry has been done.
