Joel’s Scattered Thoughts

I had a bad feeling when I found out that I had the Tuesday before Wrath off.  Sure enough, realms are down "until they’re ready."  Ah well, I got my grandma’s picnic furniture moved, had a nap, read, and have generally managed to pass the time agreeably.  Now to do some extra housecleaning while I continue to wait.
