I often dream of trains when I'm awake.
I'm going to go finish reading Bujold's latest Sharing Knife book in the bath, with Lush. Meanwhile, you can tell me what I'm going to do with myself this week.
ETA: Now that I think about it, that really should have been "Chandleresque".
Week off, eh? Clearly the best use of your time is:
Finishing that work task that's blocking Grasshopper, which you should have checked in on Thursday.

Right, that one was easy. So, here's what I most want to read:
The rest of the Giles/Xander Cleveland storyline, including that tattooing prompt response.

That Giles/Buffy alchemical trap story, no matter how hopelessly talky it is.

The Ninth Doctor crossover tagfic, with Giles, Ethan, and Buffy on the TARDIS.

No, instead continue the pre-series one with the Second Doctor, Giles, and Ethan.

The thing I long for from fanfic and never, ever get is:
ETA: Now that I think about it, that really should have been "Chandleresque".
For all of a few hours. Have to fly out for work tomorrow. Bleh. But then ConStrict, yay.
hey if you wanna put off kitchen cleaning until I can come over and participate -- I'm a big believer in cleaning by duad. Much more motivational to have somebody else to talk to, and it goes twice as fast.
I'm good for cleaning; I have a limited sense of smell, and being a doctor's child who grew up with gory medical magazines, a younger sibling, animals, etc, and who worked for a college frat/sorority type house in college (w/ cafeteria cleaning during week and party cleanup on weekends) -- there's no cleaning job that can intimidate me. I could work for one of those post-crime cleaning services that scrubs blood off of walls. Hey, a new career...
Ping me if you're around this evening -- have something from London to share, let me know when i can swing by. If not tonite, then after Vegas.
Constrict later this week, yay indeed!
Then why isn't Mr. P the one scrubbing the kitchen? Ah, you'll tell me that he does his fair share, and I'll tell you that he's welcome to continue to do so, and you can hire someone to do yours.
My husband just suddenly stopped wanting to do any cleaning around the house. I said that if he lived alone, he'd have to do it anyway. He said if he lived alone, he'd hire someone, so we did.
Unfortunately, she only comes once every other week, which leaves me having to do the lion's share anyway. We could possibly get her once a week, but I find cleaning for one's housekeeper to be a lot more work than you'd imagine.
