Find out from your classmates how old they and their siblings are, and what year of school they are in. Be ready to report your findings to the class. (In this case I figure I'll just write a dialogue or ... something. Meh.)

And that's about all I can manage to focus on this morning. I was doing fine until about half past the hour when all of a sudden two characters in the projects I'm working on got loud and I couldn't focus on Russian to save my life. Christ. I didn't get the story that came up last night as I was falling asleep written, either, but at least I made a start on it. And today I might not have a chance to finish it until I get back home. This is kind of irritating. Kind of cool, in the sense that it's good to be inspired, but it's also irritating when I can't damn well focus on anything else except the voices of the characters rattling around in my head.

Ah well. Mail order sale day two. This one will probably be worse than yesterday both because I have to spend the first hour or so out front (which, ooh, maybe I can get some more done on the story then) and because there was already a backlog towards the end of the day yesterday. Which may mean that people have wised up to the sale, which means more orders and more work. Now I really am glad I made all that food.

Hopefully today it'll be something vaguely resembling less hot. Or at least, hopefully today ... I don't know. Something. I'm glad the building is air conditioned as thoroughly as it is. It may be cold some of the time but at least that's better than roasting during the mail order sale.

And things are slowly settling into place. Not so much one by one but, just. Things are slowly settling back down again. I like that. I like not running the Red Queen's race. I wish the boy could find work, but right now that's less up to either of us and more up to the economy, and how that'll shake down. We'll get through.
