Or some sort of off-brand version. So I don't have to mop my kitchen any longer. But if I do find something to purchase, I need to get some paint and put "1812" on its body. Mr. Havoc is in charge of the eyestalks. This entry has been cross-posted to Dreamwidth (

I'm still remaking my living room into an office in very slow fashion, and I need to get rid of my coffee table and get a nightstand to hold a printer and put some shelf or cabinet space under it for office supplies. Unfortunately, IKEA is just too good and I have four great options.

I would love your opinion! If you have another suggestion that's ( Read more... )

It is not ending quickly, probably due to the fact that I'm front-loading my work week so I can take half of Friday off without using up my diminishing vacation days. Also it probably didn't help that I stayed up past midnight last night marathoning tv and avoiding the real world and I'm too old for that anymore. I've always been a morning person, ( Read more... )

Until then, well, this will be my first hot water shower in two weeks. So I get that, at least!

I'm aware not everyone is coming off a holiday weekend, but usually anyone's holiday is going to slow up my reading list ( Read more... )

So I played Mage, and that was fun, and made a Father's Day dinner for Mr. Havoc and my dad, and that was also fun. Plus we took a walk with Dad, which is rare these days, because his health is still on a slow downward crawl. I love when we can do things we used to; we mostly can't ( Read more... )

Which is probably the hardest thing to declutter, barring jewelry. So I have the majority of the Liaden novels (not the last three or four) in some form of print, but I have them all electronically too in DRM-free format. The electronic versions I paid for include the older short stories. (I do love the Baen library and ebook store. No DRM and ( Read more... )
