Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

28th wedding anniversary, in fact. Which we don't make a deal of, big or small. The Hubs gave me, of all odd things, a couple of little framed prints, which I like. I think he's found a store someplace that does framing or sells prints, and so he gets gifts there. I don't know. Anyway, these are cute little engravings, a coffee pot and a tea pot, but oddly, they're not framed to match, although clearly the prints match. So I may get one of them re-framed, but I like them. I gave him the first two seasons of Quincy M.E. on DVD, an old fave.

Harry Potter Day. My pre-ordered book actually didn't arrive until about two o'clock, which I think sucks, but the Hubs had come home from the office around 10:30 (which meant I now had a car), so I went to the supermarket and bought a copy. By two, I had already read ... I don't know, 200 pages? At the moment, yes, I have two copies of the book, but I'll put one into the library's collection, so that's okay. And the third one -- assuming R gets to bring home a Mary GrandPre signed copy in a couple of days -- will just sort of be displayed in the living room, more like a knickknack than a book, if you know what I mean.

And I read the book. No spoilers here, let me just say that I found it to be a most satisying Harry Potter experience. When I was done, I called K and we dissected it for about an hour. Also a satisfying experience.

And now, for my return to the real world. Tomorrow, food shopping. Monday ... I don't know, cat claw clipping? Where's a magic wand when you need one?
