It's been a productive evening. I freshened up my haircolor, cleaned the tub, kitchen sink, bathroom sink, made the bed, and had yummy sesame chicken and rice takeout.
Tomorrow it's all about cleaning, writing, and enjoying the rain. Lovely.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hi Sean!
Sounds like a nice evening, Allyson. I need to do that kind of thing tomorrow, after the chiro and suit buying and stuff.
Hi Lee.
ABRAHAM, welcome to the world!!!
Hayden, best wishes to you and Mrs. Hayden. I hope everyone is well, and gets some rest! Congratulations.
Suddenly I want to name a daughter Cynthia Rose.preens
I don't even like the name Cynthia.weeps
But Cynthia Rose seems very pretty.stacks cats
Part oh you make up an obscene number why I have cats: They both curled up with me for a nap earlier, and as I was just beating myself up for something, one just came up and patted my face. Who gives a shit if he just wants food or pets? Makes me feel good for something!
I'm adding this to my still-imaginary Why-Cats-and-Kids-Are-the-Same file, sarameg.
And this is something that occasionally frightens me--what if I don't make enough of a mark at freelancing, and/or never sell a novel, and have to go back to the land of university administration as I'm approaching middle age, only with several years lost, and I never can get back to something that's even tolerable WRT salary, responsibility, and prestige.This scares me when I look at it, so I don't. There's no sense in me going back (at least to a regular-hours job) until Chris is at least in first grade, because everyone goes to school at a different time. The logistics are too difficult to contemplate. And, if possible, when Chris goes to first grade, I'm going back to school, myself.
Cindy, yes, the student loan is the only debt of the McWarnigle household. Yay.
Happy Birthdays to Kristin T and MFNLaw!!!
Congratulations to the Hayden family.
STOOPID commercial! People, you know the 99 ballons go on to CAUSE WORLD WAR THREE, right? In the song you've used for your valentine's day commercial?
Maybe the point is that it will be World War III if you don't get your sweetie a Valentine's Day present...
And Happy Belated Birthday to -t!!!
Whew. There's a lot goin' on.
That is so sweet, Nora. I am so proud of you. I know how difficult that is. We have huge-ass debt, but it's all mortgage, so it feels justified. That's why, even though we've been broker than broke for the past few months, I'm still breathing.
What are you doing this fine Saturday?
Maybe the point is that it will be World War III if you don't get your sweetie a Valentine's Day present...
Heh.
There was all pinks and golds before the actual sunrise this AM. Yay east-facing windows!
Timelies! I've largely skipped these past few days, but happy birthdays to those that have 'em.
Now I must go fetch Cat Food, or face the terrible Death By Whining and Occasional Scratching.
I am working today!
Eeeek! On the working.
I am not working, but I'm getting useful things done. Well, at least as soon as I get dressed and leave the goddamned house....
