Working from home

As viruses do in families like mine, the only ones in the household who don't get the bug are the pets. M's on the downhill side. Still very tired, so I'm working from home to step in with the chillins as needed.

In prep for White Hart, I'm letting my face sprout, and damn do I hate the feeling. Rowan, I hope you appreciate this! My chin's all skritchy. The day I get home after the faire closes, I'm going to ruin as many Gilette Mach IIIs as it takes to scrape off these whiskers. Okay, it's not as bad as all that...it's in that awkard stage between five-o'clock shadow and full-blown beardage, and with the men in my family, that lasts a long time. Years, sometimes. Thanks grandad.

Over the weekend we found, through a homeschooling email list, a captain's bed (similar to this) with a bookcase headboard, mattress and boxsprings for $50. SCORE. Katie's got her a new bed that matches her room like it was made for it, and storage underneath.

Our bedroom is finished except for the trim out and the new closet system - have to replace a bit of cedar damaged in the tear-down. Now repainted and carpeted, even unfinished as it is, is so warm and inviting I have trouble staying out of it. (And not for the reasons you're thinking, you evil thing...although...)

That's all for now. Just checking in.

Monkey bread

There are world leaders, men of position and power, men of incalculable wealth, whose influences span nations and govern and direct the course of social events on this planet, who do not have what I have, right now, this minute.

A Bundt-shaped loaf of hot monkey bread, all to myself. Insert maniacal laughter {here}, and fuck 'em.
