I could get used to this weekend thing...

lagilmanThis weekend was pretty lazy: a lot of reading, some city-hiking, some sleeping in, and I finished off two beta-reads for friends, complete with probably more notes than they were expecting. Ask an editor...
Also, friends came and hauled away the old sleeper-sofa for their new apartment, and I rearranged the lounge to accomodate the new sleeper-chair that will be delivered later this week. It's strange: I've lived with that sofa in this apartment for five years (and have owned it for nearly 20 years). I can describe every room it's been in, over that time; it's got a permanent place in my mental landscape of "home." And now it's gone*.
On the plus side, the new chair-and-a-half will suit the space, and my usage, much better. It's just going to take a little adjusting.
Mostly though, this weekend has been about recharging my brain. I wrote some more of the Sherlock fic and posted a bit of it, and noodled around with something else, but mainly it's been all for-fun goofing with story, not Work. It's good to do that occasionally.
Also: the dogwood trees are starting to bloom, and I have a huge bouquet of irises on my desk. Simple pleasures.
The big excitement around Ch. Felidae this afternoon was the bringing-out of the deshedding tools. Boomer asks, and then Pandora realizes someone else is getting groomed and comes out to demand her share, and half an hour later I call quits (they'd be perfectly happy for me to continue for an hour or two).
It's not a proper grooming session until we have enough to make another kitten. Or, in this case, a small litter of extra kittens. Anyone out there spin/knit with cat hair? I have some lovely golden and tabby fluff for you....
*for levels of 'gone' that mean 'I'll see it when I go to my friends' apartment"
