I had such plans for today. I was going to run lots of errands, call a multitude of people who had birthdays last week and wish them well, get the grocery shopping done, etc., etc. Instead, a five-minute WordPress upgrade ended up eating my day. Thanks OH SO FRACKING MUCH, … [Read more...] about FatCow: no love for WordPress

Writing. Whee. Also, site fixed.
I think I've found the missing plot piece that'll let me get a draft done. Cross your fingers.
