Yesterday, a 70F day in mid-November, I stayed home sick (actually sick, but mostly a mild office cold I was trying to beat before it was no longer mild), wrote 3500+ words, over 2100 of which were for my Nanowrimo, and sorted the last of the apples.
I need to get back into the swing of house stuff before it’s too cold to do anything, but the plumber prospects are at least looking up.
Newest house weirdness: it appears that, sometime along the line, someone actually taped the drywall corners…
…wait for it…
…with masking tape. *facepalm*

ysabetwordsmith is taking ideas for future fishbowl themes here.
And if you have not yet read her epic Igor’s Creature, I strongly suggest you do so now. Right now. Go. I’ll be here when you get back.

meeks has worked her magic again, and it’s thematic to my nano!
Go see her sketch of Autumn, updated.

And Rix_Scaedu has two amazing new pieces up:
Tales Behind The Verses: Between Eighteen and Nineteen – Part 1 and Astrith.

Thank you for the boost.
Thank you for the yummy fictions!!
I try and attempt not to be trying…
Muahahahaha! Masking tape! *facepalm* And I thought OUR housebuilding was sometimes a little amateur….
*grin* yeah, that was a new one, even for this place!
I appreciate the signal boost. Masking tape … heh. I’ve found weird things like that, sure enough. And my_partner_doug tells a story about someone having used comic books as insulation.
Hrrm… Do they make good insulation, do you think? 😀
I suspect they insulate reasonably well, but I would worry about flamability, depending on the construction.
I’d guess marginal at best. Insulation mainly depends on how much air it can trap. Comic books are mostly flat.
Hrrrm, so you’d have to roll them, or get them wet and dry them out first 🙂
Well it is tape!
It is… yes… tape. Oy.
Oh man, those crazy people! It’s like the time I found the last owner of my car put duct tape over the rust on the runningboards, and then painted over it. *sighs* Some people are crazy, and don’t care.
Yep.
