Been doing different duties at work for the past week and they gave me a whole different schedule to go with. Getting up a little earlier than normal, going to work a whole lot earlier than normal, doing brain work instead of physical work - it's been completely different, and now that I'm just starting to get my feet under me with it I'm going back to my normal duties on Monday. Ah well, something different is always nice for a break.

Meanwhile, getting home early and having nice long evenings with my sweetie has been really great. We've OD'ed on "House." :) One of my coworkers lent me the second season in exchange for me pushing a Hugh Laurie movie ("Girl From Rio" - I loved it!) and my favorite book ("Good Omens" Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimen) on him.

I also had the opportunity to listen to two Sherlock Holmes radio shows while I was peeling potatoes for the Thanksgiving feed at work. I've been really going to town with the other medias besides reading, it's weird. I've read hardly any fic this week.

I listened to "The Abby Grange" (one of my favorites because Holmes decieves the police for love! Not his own, but at least it supports the conclusion that he doesn't think the law is always the smartest where love is concerned) and "The Blanched Soldier," which I had never read. That one is great for the slash, though not with Holmes/Watson - he follows up a case for a soldier who's lost his boyfriend.

Okay, off now, must read mail from aunt, have tea, rub my honey's feet and get my own feet warmed up in bed. :)

Hey Derien!

I just found your blog here. You had quite a bit going on back when you posted this--I hope you're feeling better now!

I didn't think it was possible to OD on House, lol, but I too discovered that it is. I still love the show, but I reached the point that I needed a break.

(It is not, of course, possible to OD on Star Trek or Sherlock Holmes!)
