stuff
I'm irritated with myself for not posting more, with no better excuse but work. I've been letting the job drain my energy and sense of fun. It's kept me from working on my Seasonal Spuffy story, although I did manage to post three chapters of Buffy and the Dalek Slayers, and I'm determined to get the rest finished for the free day next week.
Except for Mr. M's back, which is improving (he has a pinched nerve and is on drugs), the family is doing great. M-TNG-1 loves her new job and I just bought her a ticket to fly home for Thanksgiving. (So much for my assumption that now she's working she wouldn't be a factor in my budget.) M:TNG-2 is having a lot of fun in Europe, just finishing up a Fall break in Spain and Venice, and now back to London to finish up her semester abroad. We're all going to visit my mom and some of the rest of the extended family in Florida for Christmas. Mom is celebrating her 92nd birthday soon and continues to teach line dancing one or two days a week.
And the weather this Fall has been amazingly wonderful. I love Fall in spite of all the leaves there are to rake. It's not fair to still have that chore now that my joints are too creaky for me to enjoy jumping in the resulting pile.
