Monday, manic or otherwise

Well, when I got up this morning, it had been raining a bit during the night, and the rain had been freezing, so I nearly came a cropper as I stepped out the door. I sprinkled a bit of ice melt salt on it to prevent anyone from hurting themselves, and headed off to work.

( My day, my cold, snow, library visit, etc. )

Work today seemed to go pretty quickly...though part of it may just have been I was reading a good book. I've been rereading Bujold's The Curse of Chalion preparatory to getting my hands on the sequel somehow, and man is that a good book. Bujold has a very distinctive style—she writes her characters as life's straight-men, encountering the quirks of fate with wry wit and amusing asides. I look forward to reading more. (I'm kind of regretting having left Curse at work now, but I know that if I hadn't, I'd be up 'til all hours reading it, and might just as well get more rest and save it for work time.)

And that's my day.
