Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon
It's pissing down rain here. No other way to describe it. The back yard is a lake. The carpets are leopard-spotted with muddy dog prints. We are single-handedly keeping the Redlands Chem Dry in business. If it was snowing, I'd be out on my snow shoes or X-country skis by now. I do miss schussing around this time of year.
Been twittering with Hal Duncan on the word "c*nt". Apparently it has none of the negative misogynistic impact in the UK/Scotland that it does here. At least that's his belief. He has an interesting post in it here:

It would be interesting to hear from some UK women on the matter. Anyone? He says "bitch" is the more disempowering word there.
I guess it's time to head up to my other office (Panera) to get some work done. Time is running short and I'm spinning my wheels a bit on the ending. But since I've gotten off a certain med, my brain is noticeably clearer. How many months have I lost to that?? Scientist are exploring the uses of direct electrical stimulation to the brain, via an implant, to treat a number of conditions. Sounds good to me. I"m so tired of taking pills!! Not that I don't do worse without them, but it's an annoyance, an expense, and an occasional hinderance.
And there's all the Christmas wrapping to do. Aside from last minute inspirations and odds and ends, I think my shopping is complete. I love shopping for loved ones! Doesn't have to be expensive, just the "right" thing. House is clean and decorated. Rain on the roof. Contentment begins to steal up on me . . . .
NO! I shall brave the elements and go to work. Now.
