moonwiseJust back from our weeklong yearly vacation to Maine.
The good news is that we had a nice time in the sunshine and we bought some art for the new house and I survived Potterdammerung completely unspoiled because Internet is but a legend in the part of Maine we visit.
The bad news is that it rained for five days out of nine and my little pansies were all dead when I got home because obviously it did not rain enough here to help them. Or not often enough, I understand that there were terrible storms and flooding mid-week.
Finished HP:TDH about 6 PM yesterday. My husband and my father went straight to the back of the book, and I had to issue a serious warning: "If you so much as insinuate anything, I will be very upset with you." Husband also had to talk incessantly about how fast I was reading, and how amazing it was that I can speed read, and eventually I had to tell him to stuff it. JKR is not the hardest author to read and she uses a big font; I'm having a much harder time with Evangeline Walton.
In less than ten days, if all goes well, we will close on the house. Ohshitohshitohshit. woo.
