It's going to be a long day...
Mar. 16th, 2006 07:09 amNo carpool today (good thoughts for my very sweet coworker, who's having outpatient back surgery today, would be appreciated), so up extra early. It's been really nice early springtime weather the last day or so, though, so it wasn't too bad. Nevertheless, I am beat. I did get some more done on the house last night, though -- the bathroom has been successfully tamed, and I'm about ready to start on the kitchen.
musicalchaos -- happy news! Your state tax refund got deposited this morning!
Tonight I've got a clinic escorts planning meeting, I need to do laundry and pack for the weekend, and I want to get started on the rest of the kitchen (getting all the dishes done was a start). Oh, and I need to run by the smoke shop for cloves for Caleb (note to self). And I want to request my next five library books -- I'm through 3 1/2 of the 5 I'd checked out previously. I finished The Blood Price on my way in to work this morning. I really, really enjoyed this one, and its prequel, Dark Places. Both are thrillers, well-written and engrossing, and they really resonated for me in a way I haven't generally experienced in that genre. The protagonists aren't members of my particular subculture(s), but are members of ones that overlap enough that they feel very familiar. The main character of both books is a Canadian ex-pat computer programmer and travel junky (doing the low-budget hostel circuit), and he just felt ... familiar, I guess, in a very good way.
Anyway, that's all for now.
