( Chapter Five - The Ghost of the Caravan )

pretty good day, all in all

Double plus good - I got a card from daegaer! :) It has Crawford playing with a bocce ball. :)

Also good - Today was the last day of the Boring Detail. Which, however, IS actually better than working at the checkpoint. Tomorrow Mainertoo has said he will detail me in baggage so I can teach him stuff, so my mini-vaca is over but at least it's an easing back into work.

Another good - ElvenGirl showed up at the Boring Detail, because I was working with CeeJay and, in fact, he'd just sort of brought her in the car, figuring he could let her have the car and I would bring him back to Portland. It was nice to visit with ElvenGirl a bit and talk Pratchett books. :)

Yet Another good - I got Chapter Five posted this morning, so I'm still not late on any chapters and I'm five months into it. Of course now I'm running out of pre-written stuff and am really going to have to work. *is scared*

I started "Swallows and Amazons" yesterday, but it was going slowly and then eor finished "The Maltese Falcon" and I wanted to discuss it with him because of the cryptic non-spoilery things he said in his review, so I started that as well.

I did, however, finish "The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green," by Cuthbert Bede, yesterday, so that makes book #23.
