Woke up this morning convinced it was Saturday. It is Tuesday.

Also, Dad is leaving on a business trip and Mom is working too and I am closest, so I get to come home on my dinner break (which will essentially take all of my dinner break) in order to feed the dog and take him out. It must be done, but it's kind of a pain.

And I may be catching a cold.

Today is off to a rollicking start.

Three things (tangentially) about Discworld audiobooks:

- Recently, I did that thing that I do every once in a while, where I listened to Going Postal and Making Money back to back over a matter of days. The thing that always happens when I do that is that I am filled with the urge to immediately do it again, because you guys, I love Moist von Lipwig and Adora Belle Dearheart so much. I want so many stories about the two of them having adventures and bantering at each other and kissing. Alas, there is not that much fanfiction and only two books.

- But listening to them again is silly and I still want more Discworld, so I have started on Thud instead. And, okay. The thing about Thud is that I had an audiobook copy and then I lost part of it, so I downloaded it again. And I would be willing to swear that the second copy is different. Not in the text - just in the way the reader says certain phrases. I mean, it's the same guy. Surely there wouldn't be two almost-but-not-quite identical recordings of the same guy reading the same book, right? It's just freaky.

- I am trying to decide between waiting until my hold on Snuff comes in at the library so that I can actually read it first, or spending one of my credits at audible and downloading it tonight. I feel like I ought to read it first and the audiobooks at audible aren't conducive to bedtime listening, but I am impatient. Hmm.
