Last day.

Ten more hours before my shift is over. Then I'm off for a whole week! Stratford Festival, here I come!

Weirdly, I'm not even off yet and my week has already filled up. Monday is Parental Unit time, Tuesday I'm going fishing, Wednesday is a barbecue, and Thursday through Saturday is the Stratford Festival. Sunday the Capricornucopia Boys (wouldn't that be a great name for a band?) are coming for a barbecue and plotting, and Monday I go back to work for a double shift.

Somewhere in there I have to go to IKEA, get a new microwave, and maybe get the cats to the vet. Oh, and buy paint. Eesh.

Nooooo!

I was ecstatic at finally getting The Shadow Isle by Katharine Kerr. I was really looking forward to reading the end of the Deverry epic, and finally getting to tie up most if not all of the loose ends... and now I discover that it's not the last book. It got too big and unwieldy and she split it into two, and now the last book won't be coming out until October 27th, and in hardcover to boot, so I'm going to have to wait a really long time before I can get the conclusion.

WAAAAAAH!

Life is woe, and darkness, and teh sad.
