Huzzah for Making Light giving Abi Sutherland front-page-content privileges!
Because now I get to read all kinds of interesting people opine on rebinding published books and binding books anew and whatever else the fertile soil of the comments page grows.
AND! I get to see her Flickr things tagged 'bookbinding'!
SQUEEEE!!!!
(In other, less-squeeable news: Seems like all of us here in the house have fallen afoul of either post-nasal drip or the chili or something--none of us got to sleep without returning some portion of our dinner to the Great White God. Poor Mark didn't get to sleep until about 03:30 this morning. He, therefore, is taking a half day to snooze so he can be productive when he *does* get to work.
And Dae...~headshake~ I know his grandmother has some sense. She's bought a house, gone back to college, and raised three children on a schoolteacher's salary. That doesn't give a person a large margin for error. It certainly doesn't leave a lot of time or money for doctor's visits; I know she knows how to feed a child with a fever who hurls your first offering. Why in the gods' own names she thought giving Dae a syrupy-sweet cherry icee--a whole one to himself!--and then frying him up a well-seasoned chicken patty were Good Ideas, given a fever and a queasy stomach, I will never know. Although "Well, he asked, and he eats so little here anyway..." would probably be my answer, if I inquired.
"It's affection, even if it doesn't look that way." You're absolutely right, and that's some comfort...but not a whole lot. ~wry smile~
So we're observing the little man this morning...
As for myself? ~shrug~ I'm doing surprisingly well for about four hours' sleep. Will probably lay down and die for a little while later today, but so far, we're functional.
Gentle, easy foods for all of us today.
And vitamins.
And water.
And sleep.
