So, while Snra is at interviews, YHB availed himself of the opportunity to get a tree and put it into the stand.
Oh, lordy. We do so love to pick our own deaths, don't we?
The tree is, to say the least, cumbersome. And prickly. And lying on its side in the living room.
There's no way, barring the addition of another set of arms (and even then, it's doubtful) that I can put that sucker into the base and screw the supports into place. So, it'll have to wait until I pick Snra up from school and shlep her home.
The cats are crawling around it like cautious recon troops around a crashed UFO. The fact I've filled up the water basin may help.
And, Jesus, I haven't eaten dinner today. Got a tree, bought big Styrofoam balls, dragged the tree inside, and vacuumed up what must be 3% of the fallen needles, but
And speaking of Crashed UFOs, I'm reading Chronoliths. Very enjoyable. I'm kinda regretting not getting more Robert Charles Wilson, he's a good Canadian SF writer. It's enjoyable the way he builds the dread very slowly.
Heh. 45 hours until the party. I'm terrified.
