All the world's a stage
and such a player is she

Good Lord, this weekend has been a long one - except for the bits where Megan was able to take my mind off of a few things. Thanks, Meg, you're a good friend. And, I'm jealous of your new boots. Why didn't they have them in MY size, too?

Finally. Tonight Heidi comes home. It was a little unreal how much I missed her, but Chris had her phone me last night and she was having so much fun and Chris said she was fine and only wet the bed a LITTLE.

It's like she doesn't need me.

No. That's dumb. She needs me. She just needs her dad, too. And since Chris and Katey are going to have a baby, it's important that Heidi see everyone as family.

But, God I miss her.

The meeting with Harry Potter wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. He actually laughed, although I wasn't trying to be funny when I said that about the puppies and ponies. They're not dumb, except when they're in a book together and everything is just too damn cute for words that it makes you want to vomit.

Also, he is sort of cute.

Right, off to the shops before Poppet comes back from her dad's. Missed her this weekend. I'm thinking soup for dinner. Maybe potato leek.

I like snow. When I was in school, I loved it when it would snow, and I made sure to sit by the window during History of Magic just so I could watch it, as that was the only class in which I could get away with not paying attention to lecture. I live in London, now, and snow is rare, especially the amount of snow that falls at Hogwarts.

Perhaps I should move north; I want Heidi to grow up with memories of hot chocolate on snowy days, of going out to play in it.

There is a time and a place for everything, and I believe it is entirely too early for this. My publisher wants a book, for children, on the war. They say that they believe people want their children to know what happened, because it was an important time in history, et cetera, et cetera.

I disagree. It's too early, and all of those memories are still too close for too many. It's not time yet. But, they have me on a contract. And I, naturally, was an idiot and let them add in that they, at any time, can request a book written by me, to fulfill the terms of this contract.

When I fulfill those terms, the next one will contain no such thing.

So later this week, I get to talk to Harry Potter, because apparently they thought it would be BRILLIANT to get his own personal account of the tale, watered down for children, naturally.

I wanted to give you a head's up, but I just got notice that Meitzer House is pulling that damned codicil to have me write a book of their choosing. They've chosen to have me write a book on the war. It's completely too soon and I wish they would wait.
