When he was younger, Giles couldn’t possible imagine himself in the role he held now. Of course, he had a similar role even then, but it was accompanied by booze, drugs and sex. Dispensing magic advice as Ripper has been a hell of a lot more fun than it was as a Watcher.

That said, his life now in Sunnydale with Buffy and her friends, was far more fulfilling. If he had continued along the path he had forged with Ethan, it all would have ended up rubbish. As a Watcher, he made a difference. He felt good about it.

A day that should have been good

And in some ways it really was. I mean check out This post where I talk about my writing AND post the rough draft of my cover art. He fixed it in about 12 hours. I can't be happier with how this went. Please, check it out and let me know what you think of the art.

However, I'm getting SO stressed out about all the crap at work. Then I decided to look at houses again (wrong) I think I'm picking up the crud from my friend as well. AND twice today, the bad valve between my stomach and esophagus failed and refluxed into my lungs. the first time it was stomach acid and tomato soup. I burned the crap out of my left lung. It feels like a wet sponge.

Got all the holiday stuff away and all the stuff coming to OH packed up.

My brother got me this Transporter Shower Curtain for Christmas. It's now hanging as a draft break in the parent's computer room (pictures coming soon)

Day 7
