rolanniSo, woke up this morning and felt better than I had at a similar time yesterday, so I gathered myself up and went to the day-job. V. blustery, cold, and bright day. Parked close, took elevator to the attic, thanked my colleague in English for keeping an eye on things yesterday, and picked up the Important Work from my mailbox. Sorted, entered, and filed Important Work, thought about moving on to Less Important Work, weighed that against how did I feel now? and decided Monday was soon enough.
Probably shouldn't have gone in at all. No, definitely shouldn't've gone in at all. Rest is hard.
Arrived home to the happy news that the Ghost Ship D&A had landed in our mailbox. Yay, D&A money! And the meter flicks over with a solid thunk -- annual writing income tops gainful employment, and...*does arithmetic*. . .that's the game. The day-job cannot catch up by the end of the year.
Having celebrated these delightful facts with a sugar cookie, I'm for the couch, a coon cat, and a book.

Gaps between the inside and outside have been reduced from square feet to square inches, yay!
[1] Exterior walls should not be made out of 2x2s and sheets of 1/8" interior grade veneer ply.

Happy Thanksgiving and Resting

for special dinners.
I'm trying to gear up for Black Friday weekend and I'm tired. Sigh.
But! I'm not hosting Tday - going to a friend's and bringing side
dishes. I'll make the broccoli casserole tonight and the salad
tomorrow. Other friends are bringing desserts and my brother's
bringing soda and yams. It's all good. I just hope I have enough
energy by Friday - decorating the shop in the morning.

PS I haven't forgot Steve's query about Portland ME SF groups -
the Tee Morris/Pip Ballantine cadre on Sunday did not know but the
Steve Haug groupies on Saturday have Connections. An answer will
be along soon.

Hope you are better soon and have an excellent holiday weekend.
