I'm posting more than usual because I finished The Terribly Late And Much Lamented Novel last night and now I'm running continuity on it, and I need a lot of breaks. I don't even feel happy I finished it yet. It's only three and a half years late, you see. That takes a while to cycle through the system.

During the breaks, I've put together a mailing for the clinic, printed out flyers, got a fly mask on Oreo (now he looks like a bug, just like everybody else), and I forget what-all else. I need to wake up enough to go out and ride Pandora before the sun goes down. Also take da Pook for walkies. And hug ze keed again. Ran a big deficit of those over the past 7 and a half months.

I didn't miss him while he was gone. Really. Or not much. But hey, he's been a fixture here for a long time. He left a big hole when he went off to live with Teacher.

Also while I usually keep this a politics-free zone, it was good to wake up this morning under a two-party system. It's been a while since that was the case. (Yes, I voted. I'm not allowed to bitch about the guvmint unless I vote. So.)

I'd better go ride Pandora before she comes in and gets me. I don't think the floor could take it.

Yeah. I know that feeling...

Empathy is a wonderful thing. So is having lots of company in one's foibles.

I don't think they'd hold Pandora. Seriously. Pooka, probably.

Horribly enough, the news about your Much Delayed Book makes me feel a little better about my tendency to slowpoke such things...it shouldn't. Good to hear you've got the beast boxed, in fact. I hope that bodes well for the future.

Always happy to be an Inspiration. Though an Evil Influence is also good.

It sounds wonderful to hear that a book (even late) is finished. Sounds wonderful that you can go out and hug a horse that looks like a bug. And yes, I agree, thank heavens for two-party systems. Now let's kick all their butts and tell them to play nice with each other and get some work done.

Amen to all that!

I need to get the camera and post photos. Keed looks like nothing earthly in the fly mask Teacher got him.

Hurrah for the new book. I am reading Shattered Dance as slowly as possible and it is lovely. Still, WANT.NEW.BOOK.

Congratulations on finishing the book, and good luck on beating it into submission. :) I finished something a few years overdue some years back, and it felt so peculiar to start with, not at all like finishing something normally does.

Speaking of books, I just spotted a cover for the one coming from Tor in March on Amazon.com. :)
