Grande Galerie des Glaces

The heat started early today but the heat advisory didn't start until noon, and it will run till about 8pm tonight, if not later.

First, I love my new pillows. So nice to sleep w/o my neck being at an awkward angle. I should have done this much sooner but the point is, it's done now. [g]

I put up a new bookcase but since the floor is now slanted, it won't set right and I need to get a little bit of wood (1 7/8", sheesh!) to use as a brace to keep it from leaning. Unfortunately, I have no saw. Or at least, no saw that I can reach easily. And so it goes.

Yesterday I went to the library book sale in Hastings and got some very good deals. I may or may not have added to a few series (I have yet to play match-up) but I found some older ones that I have been trying to find for a long time, also a few vhs tapes that I hope to convert, *somehow*. (I intended to go back today for the bag sale but it was just too hot, when they didn't open until 1 pm. Darn! I really hate missing it, too.)

Right now I am working on writing: a gift fic, one that decided to expand all at once, most unexpectedly and a couple more that I am trying finish and complete.

Otherwise, not much news.

Well, it started off pretty good. I went to the local library sale and found (among other things) a pb copy of "10 Things I Hate About You". It should be kind of interesting to see if Patrick's background shows up at all. I found it over in the YA section while looking for something else entirely, so if you ever have a chance to look around at a used book store, or big library sale or *something*, don't forget to check the YA section -- you never know what you might find.

I then went to Vicki L.'s garage sale and talked to her about a lot of the personal stuff I have mentioned here, usually in rgeard to my mom, my former brother and other such things. It's nice to be able to talk to someone who understands this whole freakin' mess from the get-go. *However*, I did manage to score some nice purple and lime green nail polish I found there. (Her grandson got them for her; unfortunately he is color-blind. Since they are colors she will *never, ever* wear she decided to sell them.) And yes, I am going to wear the polish -- alternating colors, probably -- for the 17th. Though I will probably strip the polish right off afterwards because I swear the polish *itches*.

The only drawback is that somehow, my keychain broke and now I have to find a replacement. Which isn't hard to do, just that it's weird. Even weirder is that I have no idea, when where or how it broke, so unless I get really lucky I'll never find it so it can be repaired. Damn, and grrrr.

No other news so I am off to bed.
