cake or death?

Ok, it’s more like “errands or work”, but “cake or death” is much more interesting. I have this grumpy feeling I need to do a bunch of errands today (though really the only critical one is going to the post office) and an equally grumpy feeling that I’ve already put off starting work so long that I won’t finish the revisions on DEMON HUNTS and get it turned in.
