Okay, feeling a little better. This may be because I've added another 25 mg of Lamictal to my daily cocktail. Also, I've been getting a lot of work done, which is good--probably because everyone's been off for a super-long weekend (my parents also took yesterday off because my stepfather was playing with Celebration Winds in Huntsville last night) ( Read more... )

Lamictal, day... what day are we on now? Eleven? Nothing new to report. Except that I took Lucky outside this morning and it felt like the first real approach of fall--a few degrees cooler, a few dead leaves swirled on the ground.

Hmm, what's going on around here... we had some massive panic-induced cleaning yesterday because an appraiser was coming to look at the house today. The good news is that the house is now spick and span for Thanksgiving (and don't think I didn't hit the dictionary to check the spelling of "spick" right there), and the appraiser told us that the ( Read more... )

Oh my God, Melville's Pierre. I hope to God that this is not on the exam in any substantial way, because I finally got to the end by way of a hard skim, and I really do not want to spend any more time on this book, what with the ridiculously florid style that may or may not be purposely satirical (and if it is, maybe it ain't satirical enough).
