Nov. 6th, 2005 12:14 pmAll weekend has been housecleaning and GRE prep, plus picking up ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravyng_yngvar at the airport and such. The house is very clean and I've gotten through all the math prep, which is good, and I think I'm in good shape for the writing. But I'm going to take the practice test tonight or tomorrow.
Zoe, our parrot, is slowly learning to say "cracker." We think. She's got the tonal part down, echoing the way we say it, and she totally knows what it means. But it's not at all clear yet. She still says "Hello?" when we're not around, so I'm still hoping it'll get through eventually. ^_^
Also, my publisher sent what I think are duplicate contracts to fill out to our old address (which is strange, the previous article wasn't from there, so this is a reversion to very old data), and they're dated back in July. DHL got them to MurkSouth a couple of days ago. I don't know if these are Ancien Loste Documents finally resurfacing, or what, but I'm wondering whether this is why I haven't yet been paid, I don't know. I've sent a note to the editor saying omgwtf.
Anyway, here's today's flower picture. It's of the same plant as the last one, but I really like both photos so I think it's fair game. It was really pretty. ^_^
