As galateadia was posting last week, habit dies harder than holiness - for although I haven't been a practicing Adventist for years, every Friday I am overcome with the neurotic impulse to clean house. Today will likely be a wash so far as writing goes; I've already blown half my morning trying to get something taken care of for moriarty6 (long, irritating story), so I might as well throw in the towel and indulge my OCD for a bit.

On the upshot - from a productivity standpoint - I got about half of our wedding thank-you notes written up (a day or two ago) and mailed (today). I would have finished the rest, but I ran out of notes and stamps. Ah, well. I got more stamps this morning, and we'll have to pick up more notes this weekend. Also on my to-do list this weekend: those pass edits. If the rain ever lets up, I'll walk the manuscript down to a coffeehouse and camp out for a few hours on Sunday. Tomorrow, I want to try to hit the Science Fiction museum.

I am determined to get the hell out of this apartment, even if it means getting wet and freezing.
