kinzelBeen busy in unexpected ways...
looked at the corner of the kitchen the other day and said ...
that's got to change. So now we have a lot more storage *and* as a bonus, we have much better heating circulation, what with the 1/3 of the baseboard that had been hidden and blocked now usable. NOT, I say, not that we've had the heat on yet this year.
Today, marks our anniversary -- that is a moving anniversary -- 18 years since we arrived in Maine. About this time 18 years ago we were discovering that the newspaper job I'd gotten through correspondence and phone calls...had disappeared while we were enroute. Let's hear it for adventures.
Today is also, IIRC, Liaden fan and friend Farwing's birthday. Tell her hello if you see her.
Yes, the cats were jumpy for no apparent reason last night. Just because *we* didn't have the good sense to notice and earthquake where we were...
Meanwhile, we're alternating going to the living room window to see if the mail has arrived. We could really use that check. You know, the one that was in the mail last week, or was that the week before? ... if you see that check, tell it hello and send it our way will you?
So. on my plate, sometime in the next days or so I must rearrange my office to put the furniture that was blocking the vents in the kitchen into a corner where it will not block vents. Then I;ll get the 28 reams of paper I have sitting here on to the furniture... and I need to write up a storm. Maybe two storms...
Being a librarian is one of my conditions -- once you're a librarian you never quite recover, even if you do other work. The same is true of journalism. And so, on top of all the other plans today I'll make a side trip while going to the post office to visit the site of the barn fire that caused so much distress in the neighborhood yesterday.
Oh yeah, chess last night.
So I played three club-rated games last night and won them all. I also drew Gary a couple of games, and managed a couple of horrendously bad games that hurt the ego, but not the rating... but that's club chess for you.
