stitchwhichIch habe ein Kold... (that's what I used to say to my German instructor, who'd just sorrowfully shake her head while tsk'ing at me.)
I am in full-fledged 'head cold' mode. Headache, full sinuses, dumb, and did I mention headache? The Gods save the poor termite-treatment guy when he gets here in half an hour. I'm not happy. There is termite damage since the previous treatment and a hole - actually four holes! - in a wall in our master bathroom. Can you say, "livid"? I thought you could. And their contract specifically "doesn't cover repairs to damage caused by termites'. Uh, yeah. Should have read that better before we contracted for the service.
Other than that, it's been a good day. I am on my break from my low-carb diet and am now going to eat chicken noodle soup and frosted animal cookies while finishing my re-reading of Lyon's Pride by Anne McCafferey. Funny how we go to old, old favorites when we don't feel well, isn't it? I plan on re-reading Louisa May Alcott when I'm done with this set of books.
Speaking of that - books of this type, that follow a set timeline and setting but are NOT written as a series - what are they called? "Set"? "Themed"? (That's ackward.) Or do we just default to "series" anyway? Or is there a designated term for them?
