Come On Down and Meet Your Maker, Come on Down and Make the Stand...
Well, I am officially out of useable boxes. But I have a great deal of books packed, as well as knick knacks and odds and ends. I need to start stripping my walls today, as my folks have offered to keep my artwork stored in their garage while I'm packing and whatnot, so none of it gets messed up. I have a lot of limited edition prints and a couple of original paintings, and I am rather...indelicate when it comes to packing. I have great fear that if I just took them down and propped them up here, I'd blunder into them or step on one or set them on fire or something. (Okay, that last one's probably a stretch, but considering some of the other things I've accidentally set on fire....)
So today I'll just be getting done sorting clothes, and taking down wall stuff. And watching the Stephen King marathon on SciFi. Langoliers and The Stand! Which means I get quite the dose of Laura San Giacomo this week! Mmm, Laura San Giacomo....
Also, hopefully The Stand will finish nudging my brain into the right brainspace for posting. While giving up caffeine - and successfully, I haven't had a caffeinated beverage in two weeks - has been great for my body, it's been not so great for my brain. Add to that all the kava and valerian I've been taking to deal with pain, trouble sleeping, and general exhaustion/pain from all the packing...
My brain is not doing so well. But! In between packing, I've been happily (mostly) galloping through A Song of Ice and Fire. I pack a box, read a chapter, and I'm about 150 pages into A Storm of Swords. And I was so excited when I started it, because that would mean I'd be all caught up...until I remembered the fourth book came out. I don't have that one. I got lucky and was able to snag the second and third for 25 cents each at the local D.A.V, but not the fourth. Hopefully I can dig it up at one of the thrift stores around here, because I forgot just how much I love this series. And it fills that need I have for epic, dark fantasy adventure.
I should try and dig up some breakfast...
