Houseguests. Boil orders.

On the plus side, kidlet's school vacation ended yesterday, so I get my afternoons back. I'll be wildly productive. I'll get so much writing done. Soon as I catch up on reading two weeks' worth of ds_flashfiction, hp100, my friends list, and, what is it, three fests? four?

On the minus side, the in-laws arrive today for a long visit. At least, I think it's today; they won't tell us for sure. How long of a visit? They can't be pinned down. At least they won't be staying in the house with us. Good argument for not cleaning out the guest room after all.

Oh, and when I came home this afternoon I learned that water to our house will be cut off till four o'clock, and after that we'll have a boil order in effect until Friday. So much for all that laundry I was planning on doing.
