Sufficient unto the day are the celebrations thereof

...or something.

Let it be known that today is Princess Jasmine Sprite's third birthday.  She decreed naps for all and retired to The Royal Rolling Duffle Bag in the cool, dim basement, and so present an Example worthy of a princess.

I arose early, expressed my felicitations to Her Warrior Princessness, and left for a date with the Vampyres, who withdrew their tithe, and freed me to breakfast with Steve at Governor's.  It's a hot, sunny day, and we briefly toyed with taking the new car on a run to the ocean, but Responsibility won out, as it so seldom does, and instead we did the grocery shopping and came home to a half-day of work, since we had promised ourselves -- Tomorrow!  We will go back onto The Schedule.

Yesterday, I read the first half of Alliance of Equals, today's plan is to finish the second half.

Yeah, it's tough, but someone has to do it.

I also hope, today, to return my Asus netbook, aka The Leewit, to Factory Settings and offer it for sale, since I no longer use it.

. . and that's probably enough for a sultry Monday in July.  Wouldn't want to work up a sweat, after all.

I hope everyone is experiencing a delightful beginning to their week.

The Leewit, loved those stories... can't even imagine what a netbook with THAT name might get up to.

Really like the references to other favourite authors.

I hope that Princess Jasmine Sprite is having a lovely birthday. It looks like she works almost as hard as my Princess Jasmine (as seen in my icon).

One basket is clearly Not Enough for Her Highness.

I had an exciting moment over the weekend, re-reading Necessity's Child, when I realised that a name revealed near the end is the same as a name that is mentioned once near the beginning. (I missed it the first time through because my memory for names I've heard only once is poor, so by the time it did its encore I'd forgotten about its first appearance.) It was several exciting moments, actually, because I found myself stopping from time to time through the weekend and going "Wait, so that means..." and reshuffling my understanding of what was going on in the background of the plot.

I offer my felicitations to the princess, along with wishes for many more such pleasant birthdays!
