One week from payday
And I think I have about a buck sixty in the bank. Oh, well -- it's not like I have a lot that requires money this weekend (apart from Buchanan's Antique Market, and I can bat my eyelashes at Lyndon and ask him to loan me a couple of bucks if I see anything I can't live without).
At least we have the weekend coming up. I'm looking forward to getting a number of chores done, and maybe even some writing -- whee!
Speaking of writing. . .
We interrupt this journal entry to bring you a Fen Service announcement
