one foot in front of the other

Up was fun, and pretty much exactly what I needed by way of brain candy. ( Very minor spoiler )

Unfortunately, work is continuing to be the "hip deep in alligators" sort, which it has been for the past three weeks and will probably continue to be for the next seven. (Which reminds me, I have to figure out which week in August I want to not come to work for. Not sure whether the budget will bear going to Falmouth this year, because this year that trip has got to include renting a car.)

I'm debating canceling my dentist appointment in two weeks, because it's Yet Another Co-Payment (I've paid two in the last week, and will have a third sometime soon tomorrow, so I'm perpetually out of cash), and because the appointment is at 7:45 AM and there is no power in the 'verse that will keep them from giving me the flossing lecture, and I'm not in the mood to receive it at all, never mind that early in the morning.

On a more cheerful note, last night after the thunderstormlet was over, the light coming through the raindrops on the pine tree was really beautiful. It looked like the world's biggest sundew. I wish I could've taken a picture that would have done justice to it.
