My day was made

By something unexpected. I got home to find a) my PITA neighbors had gathered up all my tombstones and put them back on my porch after the wind storm and b) undisturbed by the wind storm and pouring rain was a package in a garbage bag to protect it (a huge change from their usual let's jam it in the box no matter what approach).

I thought it was a book since I'm expecting some from Goodreads wins. I looked and thought, awfully long and thin for a book. DId I win another graphic novel? Hmm Poland??? Well I did just win a Finnish graphic novel so why not?

No, instead it was a BEAUTIFUL illustration of Roy and Riza dancing in 1920s clothing. Two in fact, same one large and small sent to me by the highly talented dzioo! THANK YOU so much. I almost cried. Of course I didn't put two and two together. I knew evil_little_dog had bought me a birthday gift I hadn't received yet and she DID tell me it was from Europe but I'm turning into Dorrie the fish so it took me about five hours to figure out she was the one who had commissioned it (even though Dzioo told me ELD had an electronic copy). THANK YOU too for my wonderful birthday gift.


talking here about cursed work and I have my nano 2014 cover up there as well. thanks again to anat_astarte for that title. It's my vampires in Vegas.

Did I mention that disconnecting my battery blitzkrieged my radio? It's an anti-theft deterrent. If someone pulls it out it's useless but man the hoops I have to jump through.

Bought a 6-pack of Sam Adam's Octoberfest beer. Blech. I usually like their stuff but not this. Anyone got any good cooking with beer recipes?
