In which insanity takes EZ-Pass

[rolanni]

In order of Excitement:

1.  The Green Folder, including all of the working notes for Liaden Universe® novel Mouse and Dragon is up for auction at eBay, current bid is $137.50 $152.50.  This is a one-of-a-kind item.  Go take a look -- you know you want to...

2.  The insurance adjustor has been here; his report is due in the central claims office sometime around the middle of next week, after which the Claims Supervisor will call me and let us know what we're looking at in terms of damages, and compensation for same.  Also?  He left his tape measure -- really nice tape measure -- which I'll be putting into the mail to him tomorrow.

3.  The painter was here this morning, and has delivered herself of a quote.  She can do the job, she thinks, at the end of next week.

4.  The floor guy came out and measured; we picked out the new floor and he gave us a quote.  Sadly, he cannot schedule work, because what he does depends on the plumber, who. . .

5.  Will be sending somebody out to Survey the Situation on Monday morning.

6. I think I may be running on the bleeding stubs of my nerves at this point.  I've been doodling around at mindless stuff -- making piles of stuff to take with me to Archers Beach next month (in three! weeks!).  I called my landlord and found out what my snail address will be, since it looks like it's going to be necessary to receive mail there.

7.  In the Midst of Everything, yesterday brought the UPS guy, who brought a big box of Ghost Ship mmps. What a pretty book!

8.  In about 40 minutes, I'll call Studio C and finish my interrupted interview with Andy Caploe.  Neil (who is, indeed, Neil) says he'll be able to patch the two parts together, and no one will ever know that there was a week-long break.  Hmmm...  Contest? Spot the patch and win -- I wonder what we can give away?  Not an audiobook, I suspect, and not a coon cat. . .

Will have to think.  In the meantime, I need to decide which stuffy to take with me to the ocean.

Well...this is a working trip, in support of the two Archers Beach novels due early next year. There will be a lot of typing going on.

Steve has a professional commitment down in the DC area for part of the time.

Steve is working on not being quite so much of a stuffy. But this is Sharon's trip -- someone needs to mostly stay home with the cats. I will probably have a few days at the beach, but they'll be day trips; I will probably visit Maryland during the month (in which case I have to choose a traveling stuffy for me) but that'll be a drop down, see family, be official briefly, and zoom back up.

Only ONE stuffy? Surely you could fit a small entourage in the car with you?

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

No, no. I also have to fit in things like a computer screen and a coffee! pot! and, and STUFF!

I've only got a Subaru, you know...

Kitties? Surely a month is to long to go without?

Re: things to take to the ocean

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no kittens allowed. I expect they'll have rented out my room by the time I come home...

[barbinbandon.livejournal.com]

No wine, no Steve, no kitties. Ouch.

Let's not get carried away :)

Steve will be down now and again. How now and again suddenly depends on how much of the bathroom reconstruction can get done before I load up the Subaru and fly.

I spent yesterday walking Archers Beach in the mist and reading Carousel Tides. I had to leave before the fireworks, because I was taking the train in, and didn't want to get home after the last T train left the station.

Much luck to you with the putting the house back together. Have a fabulous time at the beach.

Change

[catherine ives (from livejournal.com)]

Seems like much change is in the offing for September. What with Mom at the beach....did I miss something? Will you be doing research at the beach for the two Carousel type novels being written? No cats allowed. Cat's dislike change even more than humans do I think. Steve to run back and forth to Maryland. Isn't the beach beginning to get quite cold already in Maine in September. Will then need sweaters and jackets. I spend my summers in New England as a child. I remember it already getting quite cold in August as opposed to NY were I am from where August is very hot. The water in the lake in Maine and NH was really cold in August. Brrrrrrr.
