Buzzy is coming back tomorrow! Hurrah! I'm trying to be good and clean the house this evening. So far, I have swept, cleaned the toilet, put away laundry, and taken out the trash/recycling.

I should most definitely not be awake right now.

I'm not all done researching... but so close!

Buzzy is officially coming for my comps! And since she got an amazing ten days off, she can come to Midwinter Ball as well. She says she's gonna make me eat and sleep in the week before my talk. I can't believe that's only a month away! I have my first meeting with Clara tomorrow. Anyway, having B there will give me extra motivation to make it ( Read more... )
