re: mood
OTOH, I have four quarts of posole that is almost too hot for *me* to eat, and a distinct masochistic streak, so I got that going for me which is nice.
Also, dragon. Dragon is stressed and a little distant while she deals with dragon.style issues, but she's still a dragon and even a preoccupied dragon is very gratifying to pet.
And I started looking at NOLA neighborhoods last night. Bywater looks nice and we can actually afford it. All new set, all new series, all new cast. *shrug*
