Things done today:

• Made five Pampered Chef calls (oh, the horror!)
• Sent intro info to my DR mentoree
• Called Comcast to set up the switcheroo on March 17th
• Dropped off clothes at the consignment shop
• Got boxes, tape, and packing saran wrap

Since I'm sure you all want to know, I'm finally feeling measurably better this morning, but not well enough to brave going to church. Bad Betsy! It's the extended standing and moving that gets me, though I think I might graduate from my semi-sitting position with laptop on the couch over to the real desk chair to do some work this afternoon.

A big huge Happy Birthday to thejunebug tomorrow! Yay!! Hope you have a fabulous day, m'dear.

Today's Matt's first day of classes, and I took advantage of his absence this morning to finish Carol Berg's Song of the Beast. It's great, as usual for her, and I'll post my more fully-formed thoughts later. Also got a ton of things entered into my calendar ( Read more... )

So it's coming to the end of the month, and I just realized that I have until Sunday to post for all three of my DR personas. *sigh* To be honest, I haven't had any good ideas for storylines for any of them in three or four months, but I managed to get myself rankers and now I can't exactly weasel out of it, especially since I don't really have ( Read more... )

So I think I got quite a bit done today... I finished and folded laundry (started yesterday), made an essential Pampered Chef phone call but had to leave a message, chose and submitted my story excerpt for January residency, wrote two posts covering my November posting requirements for DR, poked both my DR mentorees (I have a feeling that both of ( Read more... )

So I've got 47,673 words written on my NaNo - that's just over 2300 to go. SO totally do-able. I'm less excited about getting this far than I thought I'd be. Strange, eh ( Read more... )

So most of what I've done today in terms of productive things is make up persona sheets for npc/frees at IIW. That's right, I made up 11 dragonriders today - and most of them are darn good, too. We'll see how long it takes me to get motivated to implement Phase Two of the plot in which making all these sheets was Phase One. But my efforts today ( Read more... )

I got a call this afternoon from our insurance underwriter man at UHaul's insurance company - it took them long enough! But I can't complain at all, because they've agreed to pay the full amount for the repairs on the 4Runner - that's just over $2500, and the check is now in the mail! We'll also be covered for a rental car while the 4Runner is in ( Read more... )

Matt and I are back from Aspen - we hiked up toward the Maroon Bells, and camped very near them. It was nice, but we didn't go as far as we'd planned because the further altitude gap (Aspen is in the high 8,000 feet above sea) was just a bit too much. We've only just adjusted to 5,280, after all - another 3 or 4 thousand feet so soon was just a ( Read more... )

I just realized that I've got a solution for my problem with M'kal and dealing with his recovery, placed right in my lap like a present. Muahahahaha. Being elected to Council means that I've got posting exemptions for any non-rankers - which would be M'kal. Whee!! So that means that M'kal can just recover for three RL months and I can pick up ( Read more... )
