A coworker got red tulips for forcing, in a container all set up and keeping the bulbs out of the water. I paid the thing no mind - until it burst brilliantly into color this week. It was set on a low bookcase, right by the window, the sun hitting it and turning the numerous flowers and stalks into stained glass, red and green, brilliant, beautiful.... Breathtaking.
The contacts I picked up on Wednesday are so far suiting well. I've adapted back to contacts quite as if I had not had a month-long period of not wearing them. I'm giving them through the weekend; if I'm still good on Monday, I'll call to have them ordered properly.
Work has been productive, and fun. I've gotten to alternate design documents with code-writing and code reviews and in such a mix and timing that I was happy with them - not the wrong task at the wrong moment, but the right one, each time.
Today I got my first allergy shots on the doses they'll maintain me at. I was, in spite of logic telling me it was silly, quite nervous. Fortunately, it went fine. The left arm didn't react at all (except to bruise slightly, sigh - that happens sometimes and the volumes for the two shots on that arm are both larger than the one shot in the right arm). The right (which is the one that grew HUGE during the last one) restrained itself to a tiny puffy area (well below the threshold of "interesting") and a bout of itching, which it's long since knocked off, thank goodness.
I would say today, like the rest of this week, qualifies as a success and a GoodThing. I would also say that I'm tired and headed to bed.

The Invisible Ring is in the same world, but it's not as vivid to me; it's not as dark. It's still quite good. Dreams Made Flesh is a collection of four stories in the same world, and for the one about Lucivar alone, it's worth it.
Her series about the House of Gaian is also quite good, tho' not the same world and tone.

Also, will my mind PLEASE stop trying to build a game out of this? (Particularly as she explicitly disallows any use of her worlds in her FAQ, including those. *sighs* *grumbles*)
It's INCREDIBLE. I want the sequel - it's a duology - but that is of course not near to being out. *sulks*
hello from tess @ chameleon chronicles
