Up super early this morning -- okay, not super early. Up earlier than my accustomed weekend hour this morning to get the keys to the new apartment and do a moderately serious scrubdown. There is something wonderful about cleaning your new Edwardian windows and mantels and fireplace tiles and chattering with your new roommate while the radio plays a string of really solid bouncy headbangy music, and everything outside is bright and green and summer sunshine through the leaves.

After that we hit Caplansky's for breakfast-for-lunch (eggs, challah toast, beef bacon, latkes, cinnamon applesauce; this is a fifteen-minute walk from the new place. Dooooomed.) and since I have come home, taken a nice cool shower, finished a small workshop project, and written fiction.

I gotta say: Today has been immensely satisfying. I don't know whose life I've wandered into lately, but I hope they don't show up and ask for it back. I'll lick the thing if I have to.

And now there is a birthday dinner to attend, so I must go prove that I actually clean up okay, and put up my hair, and and and.

Happy to hear that things are going so well with you! Me, I'm in on-call hell this weekend/past week, and if I weren't so aware of the effect that lack of sleep has on me, would be scheduling an appointment to talk to my doctor about my failing mental abilities.

Also, missing WisCon. Pout. But there will be Readercon! and WFC! (and maybe WHC! next year). This is a soothing thought.

Eeek. Have this puppy?

Readercon! And WFC! And yah, I'm looking into WHC too. I have to see how vacation/cash go.

Right now, I really really want to be you. Really! (But I did steam-block a giant shawl of doom and acquire a set of boxes to house my stash, which makes me feel decidedly domestic. Still--windows! Mantels! Sinful breakfast!)

Giant shawl of doooom? I am intrigued!

(I have a shawl to block. I should do it tomorrow.)

Caplansky's is amazing. And it's been far too long since I've made it there.
