I am an exceedingly cheerful Kit today. I suspect this has a fair bit to do with having WRITTEN! I went to a local coffee shop yesterday and asked if I could park myself in there to write in the mornings, and they said sure, and so today I did. I didn’t get a lot of forward motion, as I was doing revisions to the PHOENIX LAW proposal that Jenn asked for. In fact, I cut a few pages and smoothed some things out and added a bit here and there, so it was really backward motion, except it *wasn’t*. It was WRITING, and writing is GOOD!
Mom and I went shopping this afternoon. We walked downtown and got rained on some, and took a cab back, which is good because it was very blustery and also because it’s now started pouring rain. It’s very strange. One rents a shopping cart here. You have to put a euro into the shopping cart thingy (and you can’t get change from the cashier unless she’s ringing up another sale; buh) and when you put the cart back you get a euro back. And you have to bag your own groceries. There are young people standing at the ends of the checkout lines, but apparently they’re there collecting money for charities, not to work. Buh, twice. And there was something else weird that I don’t remember right now.
The coffee shop opens rather later tomorrow, so I’m not sure if I’ll end up going to write or not. I may end up doing errandy things, like getting a cell phone. Monday I must fling myself wholesale into finding a place to live, although I’ve been emailing around have gotten some responses (mostly of the “already let, sorry” variety). I may be forced to start using the phone. *gasp* :)
Cheerful me!

Re: supermarkets –
I was /so/ confused by the weirdos who insisted on bagging my groceries.
