And Today...

Once again I am looking for a job. In a desultory God-I-Hate-Looking-For-A-Job sort of way, but still.

Meanwhile, today I am (or intend to be) mighty:

Feed Avocado and make her lunch
Read NY Times (especially Science section)
Do crossword puzzle
Make cake
Do all dishes other people are supposed to have done, but never mind
Shower
Write until noon
Drag dog
Frost cake
Pick up car
Deliver Avocado from after school play audition to doctor's appointment
Work on editing book
Make dinner
Fall over

Somewhere in there I need to find a yarn needle (my old one seems to have gone walkabout) so that I can finish the Christmas stocking I just knitted for Sarcasm Girl's Beau. It's a rich, full life, as klages says. Some days richer and fuller than others.

As of 3:15

Somewhere between Editing and Dinner, there is a glass of wine in my future.

Actually, I cheated: Avocado begged for pizza, so Spouse picked up a frozen one on the way home. It's all over except for the falling over part.
