Wonder of wonders, the children's playroom is clean. It only took us most of sunday afternoon to dig down to the floor and sift through the rubble. What fun. I've also finally updated my resume, and hopefully I'll get to put it to use before too long.

We got another new snake, due to the fact that K. and M. are snake magnets, and are given more snakes than they know what to do with. The snake is a Yellow Rat snake (although it was given to them as a "Desert Rat snake") and is about the same size as the Yellow Rat snake I used to own - four feet, give or take a few inches.

The nights have been kind of cold and tonight there were some beautiful, delicate clouds rippling across the sky. There have also been an increased number of ducks. You can't spit without hitting a duck, but since they're waterproof, it doesn't matter much. Like spit off a duck's back.

cds I listened to while expectorating in the general direction of waterfowl: Saturnus "Paradise Belongs to You", Orchis "A Thousand Winters" and "Mandragora", Scorn "Vae Solis" and "Ellipsis", and Circle "Alotus"
