The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Eep! I should have checked back earlier. The 15 minutes are nearly up (I was reading some fanfiction, and lost track of time). Anyhow, I'll be checking in here from time to time between various tasks and suchlike.

A week from today, the movers arrive. A week from tomorrow, I go to settlement and get a nice fat check for this house. A week from Thursday, I hit the road. A week from Friday, I will be in my house, possibly with nothing more than a cat, an Aerobed, and a carload of electronic equipment.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I can just imagine. (That was to vw, but Anne has my sympathy as well.)

So, it's my sister's birthday. It's a gorgeous day outside, my brother got in last night from Russia, and they're going to a baseball game today.

I, OTOH, am going to work.

Crap.

God, I hate my job.

This is all so exciting! And crazy-making for you, I'm sure.

I can just imagine.

Thanks.

Happy Birthday to your sister, brenda!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Sorry, Nora. It sucks to spend a third of your day doing something you hate.

Thanks for the hugs and good wishes, all.

And yay, Jen! I may have to try the Cupid thing, once life settles down a bit. He sounds like a nifty fella.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gris, I think the idea of Rory cheerfully getting into bed repeatedly with a married man contributed to the use of the term. That wasn't normal at my university.

Anne, when you check in again, insent.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I second ita's thoughts on Rory.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And the part where Rory was defiant sure didn't hurt.

Nora, I command your day improve.

vw -- exactly the same for you.

Thanks ita. Today's actually a little better. I wish I'd hear back from the detective, but I guess you can't have everything.

Raquel, if you check in, Mal is just so very sweet. And all that Pooh! I just love it! (I'm a big sucker for anything Pooh related.)
