Dec. 3rd, 2010 08:31 amI have everything I need for tonight and tomorrow except doughnuts. Woolworths gave me lamingtons instead. I rang up and said I didn't think that $8 worth of lamingtons was a sensible substitution for $9 worth of doughnuts. They couldn't replace the lamingtons but gave me a refund. I can understand the lack of replacement - it would cost them more to send a driver out specially to deliver doughnuts than it costs to give me a credit. I asked what they wanted me to do with the lamingtons and they really didn't mind. So I shall feed them to people and ask them to close their eyes very hard and pretend they're doughnuts.
Yesterday and overnight were just a tad stormy. I rather suspect that the water falling from the sky was more in 24 hours than it usually is the whole month of December, too. While this is good in many ways, it means I'm behind on things again because my eyes would only do certain types of work when faced with a migraine (it was a visual migraine this time, which totally confused me - I kept thinking I was wearing the wrong glasses).
My to-do list is a bit odd for a Friday in Chanukah. It includes getting party things out, but it doesn't include much cooking (visual migraines do not make for safe cooks, so I've pared cooking right down), it includes less cleaning (because R gave me a Chanukah present of the worst of the cleaning which was just the awesomest Chanukah present ever) but it does include the writing of at least three short pieces. I've finished with eleven books and I have eight more books to deal with, in an ideal world. The more that get finished, the less I have to worry about facing them when I finish partying.
And those are my plans for the day. Now I need coffee. Enough coffee to write up two books worth and check the writing and email the pieces where they need to go.
For those planning a Canberra weekend, my head tells me that the Weather is not yet completely gone.
