Largely wasted weekend

lumineauxInstead of Walpurgisnacht, we had baronan's birthday party, at which we learned (1) that Edmund does better with grunts and gestures than with words and (2) that Edmund's super power is flinging poo.
Still no nephew. My sister is so hugely pregnant it is scary. Tomorrow they are planning to induce labor, which means that the nephew may be born on Saint Walburga's day!
Today I scoured my sewing room in preparation for the next phase of the mold remediation. I was then supposed to do work, but instead was completely unmotivated. So unmotivated, in fact, that I opted for data entry on the Great Byname Project in lieu of anything billable. In the spirit of my un-motivation, I give you all the following thought of the day:
"Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion."
