DH - At least the week's nicely organized to get its Mondays out of the way quickly... And, hey, good luck on the non-relationship!
FB - Thanks! So far, I got a fuzzy blanket, a motion-sensor light (which I've been wanting for out by my workshed), and a little gold Asian dragon, plus a few books. Might get more later tonight; going out to dinner not far from a Half Price Books.
Well, it's been an okay day so far. Went out to a Half Price Books (not the same one I'll be near tonight), then had a Red Robin lunch (they're good about once or twice a year, I figure), a DQ dessert (only thing worth buying there - that new "molten lava cake a la mode" thing is rather nice), and hit the local B&N (which, unlike HPB, had absolutely nothing honoring or acknowledging this being Banned Books week) before grabbing a cake at a grocery store (also got more Excedrin, dang it.) Later, we're going out to see if the only Round Table Pizza in the area still exists, and maybe hit that other HPB. Used to be a B&N near there, too, but they went under. And no indies have popped up to pick up the slack.
And I just placed an order at Rifftrax.com - their MST3K downloads are 20% off today with an on-site coupon. (Also grabbed a couple shorts, 'cause they make nice, quick entertainment when you don't want to commit to a full movie.)
For the record, the book haul so far includes Ken Liu's The Grace of Kings, Jonathan Stroud's The Whispering Skull (second in his Lockwood & Co. series), and Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids. Might end up indulging in an Amazon binge later tonight.
And tomorrow, at least two of us are going to the zoo; Mom might opt out. (Hasn't been keeping up on her exercises, so she's getting sore when she walks to much again.)
Pretty sure the getaway isn't going to happen, but I'll make up my mind later. I technically have until next Wednesday, when I go back to work, to go somewhere... could do it the weekend, or Sunday-Monday. Frankly, it largely depends on whether the headache turns into a full-blown crud or whether it goes away. May just do some day trips...
