The man came yesterday and he gave us a phone and internet! It is amaaaaazing! I have ordered our groceries on the internet. It is amaaaaazing! Tomorrow someone will come to fix the washing machine that broke! It is amaaaaazing! They *claim* someone will be here this week to replace beds and cookers, but I’m rather dubious about that, so it’s not so amaaaaazing. Yesterday I got up fairly early and went and got on a bus and sat there brainlessly for four and a half hours. Actually, I sort…
not dead!
I had a very nice, if not especially *productive* weekend. and I met for coffee on Saturday, and then since it was raining she drove me home, and then we hung out for another three and a half hours talking. *laugh* So that was fun. And I spent most of yesterday watching Firefly and Serenity, which was also pleasant in a very mind-numbing way. I did get some actual work done, and am in the actually typing in the revisions stage of revising TQB now. The weather’s being fairly relentlessly…
drive-by posting
*does a small dance of victory* The HANDS OF CHANGE proposal is off (and, inevitably, my editor is out of the office. I don’t think I’ve turned a single proposal or book in when she was *in* the office!), so that’s done. Now it’s just to finish the QUEEN’S BASTARD revisions over the next four days, if possible. I really, really like that book. It’s almost like reading something someone else wrote, the voice is so different. A Specialist came and fixed our shower! It works now! We’re very excited…

– shower: still borked. they’re sending in a Specialist. – cooker: still borked. they’re not actually telling me what’s to be done. – microwave: not replaced. maybe tomorrow. – beds: not replaced. I hope this week. o.@ – cat: still dirty. We keep saying, “…did she get into the fireplace again?” But no, she was just that dirty to begin with. :) Aside from the borked things, things aren’t going too badly. I’ve done nine hundred loads of laundry and the bedroom is starting to look people might want to…
errands and rain
I left the house to run some errands, and while I was out wanted to check to see if had answered my email, so stopped at an internet cafe, and now it’s pouring rain so I’m stuck here. Oh darn. The tally so far: – 1 semi-functional cooker (have to hand-light both stovetop and oven. hah.) – 1 non-functional power shower (no hot water) – 1 microwave with alarming exposed wires – 4 single beds and no double bed – 1 cat who discovered the fireplace and became Amazingly Dirty…
