Put together my bookshelves and unpacked my fiction this weekend. 8 boxes worth. I'm so happy! *sob*

(Unlike peake, I am very much in favour of the concept of comfort reading.)

Progress. Progress. Still no sofa, but the books make up for a lot. I spent a fair bit of time just sitting on the floor next to them, feeling happy.

Met crankygrrl for coffee and streetcar-catching this morning. Only 45 minutes after we'd said. (She called me at 8:20 -- i.e. 20 minutes after the scheduled time -- and the conversation went something like this:

CRANKY: I'm just getting dressed.
ME: Excellent. I'm just drying my hair.
CRANKY: Good to know we're both on track.

And at that, I managed to forget a) my coffee mug, b) my gloves, c) my music for choir tonight. Oh well.)

As mrs_cake so eloquently puts it, smile and shine, y'all!

To do this week

• Get in touch with Car Heaven re disposing of car *sniff*


• Register for ConFusion


• Book hotel room for ConFusion


• Christmas cards


• Buy stamps


• Christmas shopping (at least I have ideas now)


• Small birthday present for crankygrrl's mum


• Gym (at least twice)


• Buy extension cords


• Buy groceries -- I need staples rather desperately

no problem, right? Right.

Dear Toronto Public Library:

You know I worship and adore you from the depths of my soul. That said, however, what on earth is taking you so long with Hat Full of Sky? I have had it on hold since August 26th. It's been "On order" throughout that time. The 91 of us who have it on hold would really quite like to read it -- particularly, I suspect, the 38 people ahead of me on the list, who have been waiting even longer than I have.

Just wondering.

Yours truly,

Electric Landlady
