Nothing like a rainy afternoon to do an overdue update, right? It's mostly been business as usual around here, just incredibly busy.

An alphabetical catalog of my obsessions, by kcobweb
It's my fault it's raining today, because I had a day off and I ran errands, and therefore it rained.

I had a truly awful day at work - damnable software! stupid computers! Then I went and picked up my child from after-school and INSTANTLY cheered up. It was her last day of school, and she's all happy about the teacher she's gotten for next year.
