Right … I am officially up early.
As I have a 10 ’til 6 shift.
And an even earlier shift, tomorrow.

Yeah, I’ve think I’ve summed it up nicely, in the introduction.
I’m going to be wrecked, tomorrow night!
Pass me the caffeine!

* It’s tiring, Anne: but going well enough. I’ll be a wreck, tomorrow afternoon, though! I’ve seen Books of Blood. It’s good. But not as good as Midnight Meat Train! (You might want to wander through my movie posts: I’d love to hear your thoughts on any you’ve seen!)
† Isn’t it always the way, Debbi? 😀 Oh, The Cooler’s up next, so you know. (Actually, I’m finishing off The Final Reflection. It’s worth a serious read: although I don’t think the audio does it any justice!)
