We got here on the 12th, and have had a marvelous with the various family members. Yay!

My stupid back promptly went out the day after we arrived and I slept in the hotel bed. Not so yay. I've been popping ibuprofen like candy, which probably isn't good for me, and isn't actually doing much to alleviate the pain (that I know of), but anti-inflammatories FTW, y'know?

My copies of Renard's Menagerie have all been distributed. I need about ten more. AUGH. I may order them five at a time, because, DUDE. Erm, if any one of you wants me to autograph one (yeah, right *snerk*), drop me a line and I'll give you my address to send it to. *crickets chirp*

We're visiting the Dallas World Aquarium tomorrow. I LOVE TOUCANS. Hopefully the walking will do my back some good. Flying home on Wednesday, and then back out again, to Colorado to visit the HubbyMom, the next day.

There's no possible way I'm going to catch up with my flist. I've seen on the news that Dan Fogelberg died *cries* and Joe Lieberman endorsed John McCain *gigglesnorts*. I got a little writing done on the plane...and now my laptop battery is deader than the proverbial doornail.

And that's all the news from here. How are y'all doing?
