Whew. I got my benefits stuff taken care of without having to trust it to my HR. Now I’m trying to make sure I know exactly how to put in all of the hours of vacation/personal time/leave/whatever that I’ve taken over the year while I couldn’t get in to the stupid system to mark ’em down.

John Scalzi of Whatever! is doing a Christmas charity drive for literacy. His plan is to write 3 short stories (or rather, two and a poem), which he’ll be putting behind a password. He’s asking for a $3 donation to access those. There’s more information about it in his posting here. A worthy little cause, I think. Teresa Nielsen Hayden has a magnificent, hearbreaking posting of writings, photographs, and now, commentary from her readers, about today, Armistice Day, and the memorials of the Great War.

Know what I did today? I did a lot. I baked two loaves of white bread and a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread, made a german-chocolate cake and a tuna noodle casserole, wrote 1300 words of Pure Drivel, walked 5 miles and did 150 crunches. I’m all tuckered out! miles to Rivendell: 334 nnwm wordcount: 5173 ytd wordcount: 218,500
snoooowing!
SNOOOOOOOOOOWING! *beam*
eventually….
Eventually I’m going to learn to override my brain with actual forethought and knowledge, and instead of talking myself into going back to bed when I wake up at 5:30, I’ll just get up. Stupid human.
