I finished the bulk of the writing tonight. I broke its back. I’m going to make it. [insert manic sobbing here] If I could, I would stay up all night and finish, but I have a dog to walk at 6:30 tomorrow morning, so it’s to bed with me.
Dogs. Paper. Driving. Poop bags. Typing. Notes. Leashes. beaglesbeaglesbeaglesBEAGLES. Things are a little crazy for me.

I know I said I’d be back before Christmas, but, well, I didn’t make it. It’s as much my fault as it was yours, so let’s just kiss and make up.
Lanty has on his festive red and green collar. Scrooge is rewound and ready to go. My stocking is positively corpulent. It’s Christmas! I made it! Christmas!

Seattle was so nice. See how relaxed I look? that’s not going to last.

So yeah, new digs. Finding time to work on this in between ever-increasing piles of schoolwork, home life, and various dog duties has been a challenge.
