In which it's elevenish o'clock and all is well

Except for the part where I burned my tongue because I was Far Too Eager for my first shot of caffeine.  Hey!  An excuse to eat ice cream!

I did the annual appointment thing at the women's health care, which has changed its name and moved since last year.  The young lady at the reception desk couldn't tell me why Suite 204 was on the first floor, across from Room 104, but otherwise questions were asked, answers were answered, and examination was performed -- and yet another of those clean bills of health was handed out.  Yay, clean bill!

After the appointment, I went to gym, and so to home, to find that a! box! had arrived during my absence, which Steve had resisted opening until I was back so we could open it together.

Here's what was in the box:

Secrets with cat and feet.

Amazon seems to think this is a November 26 release; the copyright page in the book owns up to a December publication, so!  Soon! this will be in a store near you.

Shortly after I got home, the mail arrived, including! my fleece robe.  Of course, you realize what this means?

Exactly.  Steve can now have his fleece robe back -- and not a moment too soon.  It's starting to get seriously nippy on the overnights.

There's some stuff I need to do today, but there are no Super Crush Deadlines on deck.  Which is a good thing.  I do -- really -- have to go through the basket on my desk that the cats allow me to put my things in, and sort out what's in there, on the low-but-not-impossible-chance that there's something I need to take care of hidden among the catalogs.

One of the things I will do is finish Good Omens, since I failed to do so last night.  In fact, I may go see if there's any coffee left in the pot, and do that now.

What're you doing today that's fun?

I plan on putting a replacement dual run capacitor in my heat pump so I can once again have, you know, heat ...

And, of course, I had to go check to make sure I had Trade Secrets pre-ordered. I did - back in March. Thank you, Amazon, for helping me not order it twice because I can't remember that far back ;p

Good Omens sounds like an excellent way to spend the afternoon. The section with the Four Horsemen is one of my favorites. ("What chapter?" ...)

Yesterday spent the day with my husband going to doctors. All will be well. Great thing was that our indoor/outdoor cat decided to forgive us for hosting another cat for two months. He was NOT happy and declined to snuggle during this time, except early in the morning while my husband read the newspaper. Last night he was purring up a storm cuddled between us. Even the dog seemed happy to have him back.
Just finished the new Carousel Sea book. Great! Really like Archer's Beach and the people in it. Will head to Barnes and Nobel to pick up my paper copy of Trade Secrets as soon as it officially comes out. I'm trying to buy e-arcs from Baen, other books from real bookstores. Amazon is too convenient, and I am trying to cut down on my support to them.
