Heat!
You guys, it's been so cold in my apartment lately that Sarah Palin came over Saturday night looking for moose or some shit to hunt. (I told her she probably wouldn't like my moose, me being a member of the liberal elite and all. So she said she'd like to sit down at my kitchen table and talk about the issues, and I said I don't have a kitchen table. She seemed kind of confused about that, mumbled something about "maverick", and wandered off. Of course, it could have just been Tina Fey playing a joke.)
Anyway, yesterday the magical gas truck of warmth came, and today at last I have heat! It's totally sucky heat, but whatever. It's almost as warm now as it is with my space heater, meaning I'm only slightly frozen in fleece pjs, a heavy cardigan, fuzzy socks, fuzzy slippers, and a blanket wrapped around my waist. And I don't have to put up with the noise of the space heater or carry it from room to room.
Night float sucks, by the way. I don't know what day it is, my body can't figure out when I'm supposed to be sleepy and when I'm supposed to be alert (wide awake right now even though it's bedtime), and I can't remember what time I'm supposed to feed the cats, which the little buggers are milking for all it's worth. They're each going to weigh 50 lbs by the end of the week. But the good news is, only 2 more days! (I think.) And then, 4 weeks until vacation!
BTW, for the Ohio folks, I'll be in Dayton for a week and a half around Thanksgiving (Monday before Turkey Day through Wednesday after), and will hopefully be making my way down to the 'Nati at least once depending on vehicular availability. So let me know what's happening. I think I'm still a far east side member of the Cinci Nano group.
Speaking of Nano, I have the basic Idea, but still no names for my characters, nor do I quite know where to start. So I need to work on that. Keep meaning to do that during night float, but I think they call it that because your brain kind of floats away.
