(In regard to vacay, it's not PAID vacay, but at least I'm off most of the next two weeks!)

I am not doing well on Holidailies at all, but oh well.

So let's see, what I've been reading this week is a thing called The Raven Scholar, which is basically a sort of Hunger Games for grownups, I guess? It's got a lot more complicated plot, but (like the original HG) it's going to be a trilogy, and the rest of it's not published yet so we have to wait to see how it works itself out. But I found it on somebody's list of favorite things they had read lately and I did like it a lot.

I spent a couple of very painful hours (one hour was on Friday and one was today) waiting around on the IRS to talk to me, but I did finally prove that I'm me to their satisfaction and they're sending me the paperwork I needed for the whole trust thing, hooray.

Rob's off too (he gets paid vacation) and we're going to venture out to HEB tomorrow, which is usually an utter zoo this time of year. That'll be fun, or else it might be a hellscape, you never know. Earlier I made him watch the new version of How to Train Your Dragon, and he said (as I did when I watched it, and probably everybody who had seen the original did), "Why is this movie even necessary?" and I said "So they can make more money off of it, of course," but I made him watch it anyway and he enjoyed it, just like I did. If they had to do a live-action version, at least they did a good job of it!

(And I just spent about an hour following estate-related tags back into the Livejournal past. Wow.)
