lagilman: coffee or die (citron presse)
Went to sleep last night around midnight, not having done any of the things I meant to do when I got home. Oh well. Sunday's a full day for working, right?

Er. Not so much. Woken up at 2am by the need to call 911 (not for me, don't worry) and didn't get back to bed until 3ish. Woke up again at 4 because -- having closed the window after that, it was too warm. Got out the fan and set it up. Went back to sleep,. Woke up again at 8am, morning near half-gone and still feeling groggy. Some days, the universe is just telling you to take it easy.

Of course, for me that means halving my to-do list, not tossing it altogether. Mostly I did a lot of housekeeping this morning, both physical and mental, stopping now to make lunch (cubed chicken breast, sauteed with sweet red peppers and grilled pineapple, with a splash of teriyaki sauce. Yum.) This afternoon, the manuscript calls to me, forlorn, like a singleton swan in mating season. And there's a large chunk of salmon that wants to be poached.

But first, some e-housekeeping:

Many of you asked if there was anything you could do to help Len Wein and his wife Chris when their house burned down earlier this month. Yes, there is. http://www.povonline.com/weinproject.htm (thanks to Bob and M'e for the link)

Meanwhile, BN.com has finally gotten STAYING DEAD updated to 'available' in their system, yay! Oh, and Amazon.com got on the stick, too! (it only took them two weeks, but then again, they had Other Trauma to clean up, first). And for those of you who prefer to shop elsewhere, Powells' is in the game too

And 24 hours more to enter the puntastic contest!

Two pounds of fresh wild salmon being poached, 1 pound reserved for grilling later. Cats are circling like furry sharks, lookin' for the salmon-love....

EtA: poached salmon is flaked and 'fridged for later use. Grilled salmon is almost done -- just snitched a bit to taste. Mmmm. Not something I'd want all the time but sometimes it's just the thing.

EtA2: just gave Boomerang some of the crisped skin. He will be licking his whiskers for an hour now.
