lauraanne_gilmanI am, it seems, still sulking at my manuscript. It is Unimpressed.
Yes, this means I have a day filled with such important things as...well, as answering all the e-mails that have been piling up, and paying bills, and sitting down with the next bit of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
otterdance's manuscript.
And, on the weird-but-good side, breaking my vac (a Bissell Revolution) has fixed it.
The past few months it hasn't been drawing properly, meaning no matter how much I vac, there's still cat hair left behind. I decided to give it one last go before hauling it off to be fixed, and in doing so knocked it against a door and broke off a piece of plastic that -- apparently -- was what kept the arm in an upright position when stored. So now the handle won't stay up, but the vac suctions off cat hair like that was its only purpose and desire in life.
It's a trade-off I can totally live with.
And speaking of trade-offs, for those of you wondering if I'll be at Philcon... alas, no. Between Seattle and WFC and Thanksgiving and a December Deadline.... (I may run down for the day just to see people, but can't guarantee it)
