Dependent forms of verbs after go (that)
If a verb has special dependent forms these must be used after go (that):
Tá sé daor. It is expensive.
Ceapaim go bhfuil sé daor. I think it is expensive.
Chuaigh sí abhaile. She went home.
Sílim go ndeachaigh sí abhaile. I think she went home.
Chonaic Seán é. Seán saw it.
Creidim go bhfaca Seán é. I believe Seán saw it.

Other expressions requiring a go/nach clause:
Feicim go bhfuil carr aige. I see that he has a car.
Cloisim go bhfuil carr aige. I hear that he has a car.
Creidim go bhfuil carr aige. I believe that he has a car.
Tá a fhios agam nach bhfuil sí ansin. I know she is not there.
Creidim nach bhfuil sé ar fáil. I believe it is not available.

The phrase for to know is literally means Its knowledge is at me (meaning I have knowledge of it.)

The best thing ever is having the boy come home and tell me about the person who died at his work last night. Not in the homicide or horrible accident manner of death, he works at a neurological-type care ward, and at least one of the floors he's been working on is the age-related dementia ward. But. Argh. Extra bonus fail to the person's guardian or guardians for reasons I will leave you to imagine.

Woke up today ... not incredibly late but late enough that I swapped my morning schedule all around so I wouldn't be more than a few minutes late for any one stage. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just wanted to have more damn leisure time. Still, a lot of things got done last night, in spite of fuckery.

So, today's mission whether or not I choose to accept it is to clear up bits and pieces of everything that's remaining:

1. Blood in the Gutters. Seriously, I have maybe 10 pages left.
2. Gods and Monsters, and maybe start on next week's.
3. Outline Girl Nerds story
4. Character profile on Girl Nerds. At least in more detail than couple word notes.
5. Blog posts

And that's more than enough to be going on with. Still haven't figured out this evening's activities yet, but it should culminate in a couple of hours of working on Haven blog work after the boy's gone to work. We're relatively reasonably well timed on everything there, but I'd rather spend all of Saturday getting Person of Interest done and not Haven. Today's incoming at work looks pretty easy. Let's hope the outgoing is, as well.
