I just taped a bunch of cables to the back of the desk leg, so that they won't just be dangling behind the desk. Used some return address labels instead of tape, because I couldn't find the Scotch tape, I ran out of masking tape, and I've got way more labels than I'll be able to use before I move next summer. If they don't stay, I'll pick up a few of those cable holder things and redo it.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It works really well. DH cut a few of the lattice pieces out so his hands will fit in as well. When he made the shelving unit for my BIL's tv - my brother in law did the same thing. the nice thing about the brown plastic stuff - it is stiff, but more flexible than wood lattice-and the brown color is almost unnoticeable.

Feel better, Nora!
Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone. I feel fine now, but I am very nervous about eating anything. I'm munching on Saltines and drinking ginger ale. This is the same kind of antibiotics I've been taking for 10 days, so I'm just surprised that I didn't have a reaction until today. But I took the pill right before eating rather than after; I guess that's what made the difference. And I'm not going to worry about the fact I lost that last dose given that this is Day 17 on one kind of antibiotic or another. God, ND is a saint. His poor truck. He's taking it in to be cleaned thoroughly tomorrow.

Hil, your bookcase reorganization sounds excellent. And Beth, that really is a brilliant idea.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Brilliant solution by Matt.
Just had this conversation with Matilda.
Matilda:
(brandishing her little glass of water)
"More?"
Me: "Can you say please?"
Matilda: "More More More!"

What is even happening?
Hee. Does that rise to the level of 'good enough'? You'd better get her the water before someone gets hurt, Hec.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Previous "please"-prompting conversation:
Matilda: brandishing cup More!
Me: ...
Matilda: More more more more more!
Me: More please?
Matilda: in an "Uh huh, that thing" tone Yeah!

The lattice idea is genius.
Anyone know the best way to polish silver-plate stuff? I've got a havdalah set that's looking kind of grungy.

Well, she did have an appreciative look on her face. And she looks really cute wobbling around sipping water with ice cube from a tiny little sherry glass.

I hope you are feeling better and better, Kristin.
I made a salad for Mother's Day brunch tomorrow (Panzanella). Delicious, but I'm not sure how to pronounce Panzanella! Is it pan-zan-AYAH or pan-zan-ELLAH?
