mariness1. Trike update: attempts to fix the trike have failed. The new trike is on its way, but by all reports will not get delivered to the bike shop until next week (it's coming on a very very slow truck from California. Well, maybe the truck isn't actually that slow; it just feels slow.) Then it has to be assembled, which takes time.
Not having the trike has left me very cranky and depressed. I've hit the stage where someone can say, "Oooh, pandas are cute!" AND I WILL HATE THAT PERSON AND PANDAS. Unreasonable, it is me.
2. Meanwhile, my post on The Grey King just went up on Tor.com. It's going to get completely overshadowed by the joy and excitement about Jo Walton's spoiler-free A DANCE WITH DRAGONS review - moderate spoiler: SHE LIKED IT! YAY! (This is a relief. I need to hear from happy obsessed fans.) And she said the book had dragons, which -- ok, I guessed that, but still I am all happy. Dragons!
3. So, yes, hoping that by sometime next week, I shall have a trike again, I shall have dragons, and I shall have these two short stories that just do not seem to want to work at all finished. Making me just SLIGHTLY less cranky and irritable and prone to sudden tears. Hope.
I cannot believe how emotionally dependent I've become on this trike. Let me go hug my cat.
