LJ-keeping Update

A plea for those without LJ accounts:

Please remember that this LJ is, among other things, a virtual conversation-pit. Would you walk into a room and start talking to people without introducing yourself first? You would? Somewhere your grandmother is crying at your lack of manners. Okay, MY grandmother is crying. You don't want to make my grandmother cry, do you?

Please, if you're not LJ-enabled, or using another format that shows your identity -- SIGN YOUR POSTS.

Come on, folk. I know you can do that. You type everything else, how hard is it to add your name/nickname/LJ-use handle?

As though to make up for me being so tired I can barely move, the felines are being Disgustingly Cute and Affectionate. Also, you've really never felt feline love until you've been head-bumped and body-checked by a 20-pound lion housecat with delusions of being pride alpha....

Right. *shoves cat off desk* Back to work...

Anyone out there either a professional map-maker or gifted amateur willing to work for a small fee and loads of glory (aka Your Name In the Credits)? Please contact me off-list via e-mail. It's actually a pretty simple job, I suspect, but I need it done both Right and Well... (being a Professional means acknowledging that there are things you don't have time/energy/talent to do yourself and finding someone who does!)

And under the heading of: You're Always A Kid to your Parents...

My folks arrived at the apartment this morning, not entirely unannounced (they asked yesterday if they could stop by). My dad immediately went hands-on with the cranky a/c unit. My mom [who had brought a book she claimed she was going to read while my dad worked] immediately starting doing all the sorting-and-putting-away I haven't gotten to in the past few days of heavy writing. They both paid much attention to Boomerang, who was feeling Needy. I was told in no uncertain terms to keep writing. And then they fed me Chinese food, wished me bon voyage, and left me to my work.

Not at Goal yet. But progressing, yes....
