House updates

I'm back from the wilderness (I missed you all!), but I probably won't be posting much -- too much of a temptation and it's easier to just stay away. Feeling generally recharged and eager to get to work and in need of about 10 hours sleep a night, plus a daily nap. Also, I want a hammock. I really bonded with that hammock. Also with my new sleeping bag, which is adorable.

In other news, scab radio and TV still sucks, but at least I can get my morning radio fix over at CIUT these days.

I have a laundry list of Things To Write To People About: the CBC, the pit bull ban, security certificates. All I've actually managed to write to anyone about, however, is my Amazon order. I'm a horrible person, but I'll get to it. In fact, I have a laundry list of all kinds of stuff to do this month; something about Labour Day makes me all eager to write lists and Do Things.

Because I know you are all anxious to hear:

Tuesday's report from my aunt:

( Plumbing; markers; and then there was one )

Wednesday's report:

( A long-awaited building inspection. I suffer minor heart palpitations on hearing an estimate. )

Thursday:

( Nothing much happened today, but let me tell you about last night! )

Katrina

From an anonymous source, treat with due caution, but... heartbreaking account of continuing fuck-ups in the disaster zone. Via gristmill_rss.

As always, I wish there was more I could do for the disaster victims than donate to the Red Cross and obsessively read the newspapers.
