Tonight is our last night here in sunny Florida, unless by some stroke of whatever we end up being unable to leave tomorrow evening. It's kind of sad. I mean, I'm excited to get home and sleep in my own bed and of course kiss the cats on the mouth (because, really, what IS Daedalus doing right now?) but I'm not in the least bit excited to go to ( Read more... )

Here I am in the common room of our little women-only B&B letting you all know that we're alive, Key West is wicked hot, we're melting, and it's fun.

I decided to take a weekend off of frantic trips to clean Dad's house... and I ended up not knowing what to do with myself. I got up at my usual time and did some things around the house, then showered and headed up to Harvard Square to catch lunch at Iruna with thespian (and prunesnprisms, scirocco, and siercia) who is visiting from Toronto. I had a good time but was feeling ( Read more... )
