Blech.

First up, bad allergy day. Drugs, groggy, grumpy. Ick.

Second, Robert Jordan died. You likely have no idea who he is. He wrote a Fantasy series called the Wheel of Time- 11 books out of 12 were finished, only one to go.

And he died. Of all the nerve.

8236 pages invested. 6.7 MILLION words. God knows how many hours.

I’m cranky. And yes, selfish. Absolutely.*

Perhaps Zulu’s caught my mood, and he ran at the camera this morning. The pic is a good representation of us both; the fluffing and head down charging thing is his “back off, I’m not in the mood” pose.

Anyway, maybe I’ll edit photos and suchlike instead today and let my ever-industrious assistant Nancy do the day’s asskicking. Works for me!

*Well, not entirely selfish- it was a long, hard struggle for the man, and I?m sure his family?s going through hell. Jordan actually died of a horribly painful, rare blood disease called cardiac amyloidosis- prognosis for someone diagnosed with it is typically 4 years, tho he only got 18 months. Donations to the Mayo Clinic in his name have been going on for some time. He wasn?t the best writer out there, but he could still grab and hold on to you, and it’s hard to not appreciate someone like that.
