I hope to be moving only 4 blocks away! But we'll see....
We can support and be productive together!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
Moving sucks no matter what. Complain all you want, ladies.
Every time I move I start trying to work out how I can stay there forever because I hate moving so much. It's a thing.

I am still holding out hope that the building sells fast and the new owners offer me a year lease, because I'd stay here in a heartbeat. But not without a lease.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Next Onerous Task Day: Wednesday, October 12th.
That's weird syncronicity, David! I'm starting a weekly "Getting Shit Done with Wordslinger" Twitter thang, and my first day is Wednesday.
It starts at 2 pm CST, and most people will post here, but if you want to post your accomplishments, or ask for a little gentle or harsh butt-kicking, I'm @Wordslingeuse, and the hashtag is #GSDwWS
(What can I say? I'm trying new things for exposure, and maybe sweet, sweet clients. Groceries don't pay for themselves.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You guys, I have a car!!!!
My mom is picking her shiny new one up right now, and the ten year old clunker is MINE ALL MINE. Muahahahaha. Oh, the IKEA trips I shall be able to take now. The awesome amount of groceries I shall be able to carry home! The weekend trips to the childrens museum that will no longer take over an hour and two buses!

Because books.
I'm in Onerous mode today, making lists and trying to figure out packing for three different time zones in one week, and making sure I have all the work/freelance stuff done that needs to be done before I leave on Wednesday.
Even though the publicist has not sent my itinerary for Wednesday yet, and I have no idea when my flight is. This is making me craaaaaaazy.

That is crazy-making, Amy!
Sweet, Jess!

Yay, Jess!
And have fun, Amy! (BTW, I won a RT contest with all the books in your tour's coterie. The irony -- I waited for a year to have Cold Kiss, and now I'll have two copies, on hard, and one on the Nook. Maybe I'll send it to you when the craziness is over and you can sign it for me.)
But several of the other books intrigued me, and I've been broke and jonseing for new books (I owe fines at the library :( )so YAY!

David, that ice cream truck story is BANANAS. I see a novel in that, but not a war novel, more like a crazy time-travel thing.
I still don't have my phone back.
Tonight I'm going to Burning Man Decompression in the city, which ought to be a festival of feathers and glitter. I will be woefully underdressed.
Coming back from running this morning I saw a fantastic chaise longue for free on the side of the road. It's all baroque with clawed feet and gold paint, but it's in poor shape and needs to be fully refurbished and re-upholstered. And the only place I could put it is in the garage, where it would get damp(er) during the winter. So no go, sadly. But it is a splendid thing and I hope someone picks it up who gives it a lot of love.
They also had an enormous wooden table with ornately carved legs, but it was too big for anyone without a pickup truck to manage.
