Only a somewhat-mad Wednesday

[miladygrey]

Yeats' work year begins today, alas and alack, so this morning was spent switching in and out of the bathroom, determining who got what leftovers for lunch, and dodging Westley, whose response to change is always to get under our feet and yowl about how he does not approve. Hector, on the other hand, was sad that Yeats was not engaging in the usual morning snuggles he has gotten used to over the summer, but not so sad that he didn't immediately seize the warm spot on the bed Yeats left behind, and go right back to sleep. Back to the school-year routine of Friday grocery runs, the occasional school event at which I play Supporto-Spouse, and the sound of Yeats groaning as he reads student essays.

Faire next weekend! Faire next weekend! If you're going to be at the Maryland Ren Faire over Labor Day weekend, stop into Page After Page booksellers on Saturday and/or Sunday and meet Yeats and I! Buy a book, too, while you're there, I can recommend a couple.
