• I've discovered Nick Drake. Yup, I'd never heard his music before. LOVE it. Yay Pandora for bringing me all sorts of music I'd not otherwise hear.
• I'm on the 3rd Temeraire book, and am recommending the series all around the office. I love the relationship between the dragon and his captain. It  makes me wish for the umpteenth time that my animals could talk. 
• I worked untli 1:30 Monday night, then took the day off yesterday to demolish the failing retaining wall and load it into the solar contractor's truck, since he offered that I could fill it. The solar hot water storage tank that I was worried about? Started leaking badly last Thursday. Had to drive home Monday mid-day to fortify it with more kitty litter. Now I have a shiny new non-leaking HWST YAY.
• Lily the kitten is adorable. I wish I had a video device. She is so cute, dragging her  long pink sash around the house. She likes to go around chairs to see one end disappearing as she comes around.
• I've settled on Zizi for Grandma cat's name.
• Mandatory writing seminar at work tomorrow starting 1.5 hours before my normal starting work time. YUK. I wish I could test out of it.  A  review of grammar and punctuation? Here's hoping it isn't a total bore.
