:'D I'm working days, and at night I've got an actual structured bedtime (in order to be up in the morning); free hours are spent soaking in a hot bath, reading the accumulated book supply here. I've been off and on sick all summer, and the soaking and rest makes me feel better. (':

But yeah, I'm waaaay behind. Here's a sample of what I have yet to post:
