The lemon, not the lemon rind

Bad thing that happened today: for the first time, one of our cats did something truly disgusting. Murphy's Oil Soap was required in the cleanup. I have told Hestia that she has forfeited all of her purrycat points.

Good thing that happened today: a package from elisem arrived in the mail. It's the pendant "Domovoi, I Came Back!" It's a present from papersky. I had no idea it was on its way until Elise wrote to double-check my address. Thank you! Have a dreadfully blurry photo because that's what my phone is like.



Good wins.

(P.S. Theatre@First's The Mousetrap is fantastic and deserves a writeup when I have time, but until then just get tickets for next weekend, all right? I am delighted that opening night still startled audiences in Somerville, sixty-three years after Christie asked audiences in London not to give the denouement away.)

I was supposed to hand it to you ages ago at a convention, and I face-palmed mightily upon finding it still in the box of things awaiting their people. I am so very glad it is where it belongs to be, now.

Me too. I am glad it is where it belongs. It's beautiful. And the poem is beautiful.
