nishatalithaSo last night, I stayed up until 2.30am reading a couple of romance novels by Julie James that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maudlinrose put me onto. They were relatively entertaining. In both, she was a workaholic dedicated senior associate at a law firm, who was about to makes partner (in one, he was the world's most famous movie star, in the other he was another workaholic dedicated senior associate at the same firm), and they were neat because there was no suggestion of her giving up her job for love and babies. Plus, they had a light engagaging style and I work in a law firm (although not in litigation) so bits of it were vaguely recognisable.
Consequently, this morning I didn't wake until after ten, and when I did, I looked outside at the weather, got breakfast and a cup of tea, and went back to bed to read fic and listen to the rain. My cat joined me on the bed for a bit, but then decided to perch on the windowsill in that way that cats have when they look uncomfortable and tense yet stay that way for ages.
Eventually, I migrated from my bedroom to the lounge,maudlinrose and tamarillow brought up more firewood, and the fire has now been going for an hour or so, and between the fire and the dehumidifier (to help dry the washing), the lounge is toasty warm. We have even (finally!) ordered more firewood for this winter.
I could have gone out to the Day of Games, I suppose, but I think I have something on every weekend from now until sometime in July and a day or so of doing nothing in particular sounds really good right about now, particularly given the weather.
