Obama is the (presumed) Democratic Presidential Nominee!

Things that amuse me even when I’m not on cold medicine.

(more…)

…but back at work.

Trying to get caught up with the scheduling.

Except when I’m sitting here at the front desk. Then I’m not so much with the working, since I’m sitting here waiting to be interrupted.

Still home sick, however, I’ve gotten to move up stairs, so after another hot shower (where would I be without hot water) I’m stretched out on the sofa with ice water and hot tea and a pile of magazines and a pile of books and two boxes of tissues (so I don’t have to get up if one runs out)

Kat is in the window chirping at the birds, Kit was wandering around mostly avoiding me (my plan to sleep in was foiled by her coming into the bedroom and pushing things (small hard things) onto the floor every ten minutes or so. (Drifting off to sleep and then being awakened by the crash of something hitting the floor is something I would recommend to those who want to interrogate prisoners. Just saying.)

On the other hand, I’ve gotten a lot of reading done this weekend: The Coyote Road: Trickster Tales edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, Death and Judgment, Acqua Alta, and Quietly in their Sleep by Donna Leon, and Witchling by Yasmine Galenorn.

And now I think I’ll read/nap some more.

Happy Birthday to my favorite (and only) brother in the universe!

My name is Zoom
And I live on the moon
But I came down to earth
Just to sing you this tune
Hey, Brian,
It’s your birthday today!

A present for you
I wanted to find
An outerspace creature
A one of a kind!
A wild whop or a kukelchoo,
An apple drop or a buzzardstew
Or maybe a 3-eyed tickleshay
For your birthday
