Well, it's about 8ish, give or take a few minutes. (My clocks are set to match the timeclock at work, which is, unfortunately for my mornings, a few minutes ahead of the rest ot the world.) At the moment it is lovely and sunny outside, and I hope it stays that way today. Not only do I not want to worry about a power outage, but it'd be nice if I could get some laundry done, and hang it on the line to dry.

Here's the plan for today. As I am blogging in support if Planned Parenthood many, though not all, of my posts will be related to sex, sexuality, sexual health and politics, and reproductive freedoms. Of course, it just wouldn't be IRving Place if I didn't throw in a whole lot of randomness, too. Also, I've been having some fun with my street sign. I've got four new ones, and I shall be changing the sign every six hours throughout the day: 8AM, 2PM, 8PM, and 2AM. They sort of reflect the changes of the day. Think of it as my own tiny Dance of the Hours...or something.

Beyond that, who knows what surprises might be in store? It isn't too late to sponsor me (though the Blogathon site seems to be having trouble at the moment. I'm sure that will get cleared up.) My pledged currently stand at $262, and it would be great to pass $300. (Remember, any one who sponsors me for $50 gets their choice of a 5x7 print from the Wicked Women gallery, and anyone who sponsors for $100 gets an 8x10.)

Here's to wakefulness!

(Note: cripes, by the time I finished that it was 7 after. Must...type...faster...)
