Went over to Wendy’s booksigning, which seemed to have a pretty steady flow of people through it (yay!) and went over to my parents’ to deliver their gym memberships (keys to the house) to them. :) Came home with pea soup and blueberry muffins from Mom, and a ginormous hambone for Chanti, who is deeply enamored of it. :) Stopped and got a hot chocolate to sooth my froat, and bought kleenex and dayquil. Been pretty nice, all around, I’d say. Oh. And I tried on my red flapper dress…
entropy & illness
I not only defeated entropy this morning, but also a burgeoning head cold, and walked. I’m not really sick yet. I’m just getting there, and feel light-headed and bloorgy.

It was pretty cute. :) I might even go see it again sometime. :) I can tell this is going to be the…

I said this to Ted and Dad (neither of whom have read it) and they both looked at me like I was nuts. “Let us,” Dad said, “take one of the most famous spy novels of all time, and examine it for plot. I SPY, for example.” Long pause. “There you go, then.” Ted says he thinks I’m suffering…

I have reached Lothlorien! 462 miles! Since leaving Bag End, I have walked 920 miles. My next goal is Rauros Falls, a measly 389 miles! But now I have to go let the dog, who is objecting to being left outside in the lovely Lothlorien snow, in. :) miles to Lothlorien: 462! YAY!
