woke up just before five am and was possessed to read a ds story from ma chere's pickled recs page over at waxworld. was left somewhat dissatisfied, slept some more, woke up and consumed two eggs and two slices of toast and all my morning pills. bought dog food. fed dogs and cat and cleaned up cat mess and am now on my way to my not-sister's. she teaches english at one of those "not-segregated" alabama schools where everyone who is white in the county goes to private school and everyone who is black does not, and they get even less funding than we get, which is even less than they get in, oh, say, finland, no matter what certain residents thereof may tell you.

by 'on my way to my not-sister's' i mean 'updating my journal from bev and dave's computer, with vague thoughts of leaving soon.'

i have finished my story. and several people are reading it. and i have found no less than three markets to which to submit it. but it hasn't been edited, and my k'salamander is ill, and has been given a small hyperactive puppy to train on top of this. what's a few more weeks on top of a sixteen week response time, right? right. keep telling yourself that.

it's a nice morning despite the lack of incipient or actual rainstorms, and not very hot yet. in aliceville i'm going to paint cabinets and get supremely messy. then i'm going to come home and paint my toenails.

and however long it takes for mail to arrive from pennsylvania is how long i have to wait until i get some due south tapes of my beta chick's favorite slashy episodes.

have i said 'eee' yet today?

eee!

i have finished my story. and several people are reading it.

Here's my plan: I've read through it once and it is absolutely wonderful. I've rented the 'Singing in the Rain' DVD and plan to watch it as soon as Trading Spaces is over. I will then read through the fabulousness again and see if I can come up with some actually constructive feedback.

Have I mentioned how good it is?
