I had to bring the laptop home in order to bring things back online once the emergency work was done on the machines. So came home, admired the work on my doors, swam, did an hour's worth of work, totally screwed something up and said fuckit. Then I applied stripper.
I'm kind of annoyed.
And now I want to paint my beautiful easily opening and closing doors! LIKE I HAVE TIME FOR MORE PROJECTS. But the deck door looks grey in comparison to the fresh white framing (I want it a certain blue), and I've wanted to paint the basement door purple once it was all patched up with new hardware. And gee, should really rescreen the basement screen door (it swings! And has handles!) and that too needs painting (ooh, maybe red!) And I need to do one more coat on the framing anyway (because of the weather, there was only time for one, so she left me the paint, and will just add it to the invoice.)
AND WHEN DO YOU HAVE THE TIME SARA.
I just opened it to discover 4 ARCs from Random House.
Anything that looks good?
I want the book fairy to send me free books, too.

I know some book fairys! But they work for Amazon and only do it for money.
Those aren't free then, silly.
Dear PTB -
Why are you still making shit like, oh I don't know - whatever shit you are making for television these days - and NOT making any more "Slings & Arrows"? Why, for the love of Lear? I WANT RICHARD III!!
Stupid good show with there being no more stupids.

Tongues of Serpents, by Naomi Novik. Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson. The War That Came Early: West and East by Harry Turtledove. Dragon Soul by Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett.
ETA: I was planning to buy Naomi Novik's book, and I think I've heard positive things about Jones and Bennett. Don't know about the other two.
So sorry about the bad days everyone had!
ION, the cat and I made it back and we are both alive and well. thanks for the advice!

Okay, I don't know what you're sending her, but if it's related to what I think it is, why is my inbox looking so forlorn?
I've sent you most of what I've sent her already! Just over a longer period of time.
But I'll forward you what I just sent her.
