• A. is finishing a book. I'm editing it. There's a lot of stuff about obscure units of land division, and then people kill each other. It's a nice distraction.
• We're flying to Germany on 1 September. YAY. I'll need to find some music to listen to on the flight. WOE.
• While there, I'm going to meet with rheasilvia and ina. YAY! I worry about being mopey and getting ( Read more... )

akk_ is visiting. She fled from the German heat ... the wonderful, delicious German heat ... to hang out in cold and wet Scotland because it's easier for her to breathe here. Takes all kinds, I say ( Read more... )

Just got home. Well, two hours ago, long enough to unpack, cuddle the kitten, eat, drink, and do various organisational things. Tired now.

But I had a really good time. :-)

After the dramatic start to my vacation with k_julia and the fun and exciting time we had with Ina and Sylvia in Duesseldorf, things went very quiet and peaceful and kind of ( Read more... )

So we had a fangirl meet-up yesterday. And here I shall try to talk about it in less than 1,000 words. Also, check out the JE fantasy football poll over at k_julia's.

Leaving tomorrow. Surveying house to figure out all the stuff I need to do before I can. My last minor batch of work didn't arrive in time for me to do anything with it, which annoys me because that means that when I get back, on the 9th, it'll be sitting there waiting with a big '2 DAYS TO DO ME' deadline attached. Which I kind of don't need. But ( Read more... )

As some of you know, k_julia has been on some fabulous all-inclusive holiday somewhere nice and warm, where the 'all-inclusive' did not include in-room internet, so our contact with each other has been sporadic. And for people who pretty much live in each other's virtual pockets, a week of maybe 1/2 hr contact per day is pretty... interesting. I leave you ( Read more... )

Just like certain other people I'd been meaning to post all through last week and it just never happened ( Read more... )

Went to bed at two. Have been up since six. WTF is with that? k_julia got up briefly, too, then declared this to be ridiculous and went back to bed. But I feel too awake for that. Guess I'll crash sometime in the afternoon ( Read more... )

Well, I've been back for a couple of days now, but those were filled with retrieving the kitten, unpacking, catching up on urgent stuff, cleaning, washing clothes, and kind of being more or less jet-lagged around all these activities. Somehow I managed to suffer less than A., which surprises me, but is maybe due to the fact that during our 42-hour ( Read more... )

I have CW assignments to grade. I dread looking at them. :-(

Our trip to New Zealand is now fully booked. ( For those who are interested, here's our itinerary. )
