book covers done. not yet approved… so i guess i couldn’t do it in an hour but i did manage to knock up two options. now i have to wait around and see what they really want. they’ll probably want something completely different.
the Brit thinks he has solutions to my walking/clumsiness problems. this morning, as i walked into a doorway, the Brit laughed at me and looked at me like i was one of those special needs kids they hold telethons for. a bit later, i walked upstairs (tripped on a step on my way) and sat down to have my coffee.
Brit: You should wear knee pads and a helmet so you don’t kill yourself climbing up those stairs
Me: very funny.
Brit: why is your left eye all red
Me: because i poked it with my finger
Brit: i’m going to get you little baby mitts for your hands so you can’t hurt yourself. Where’d you get that bruise from?
Me: i walked into the door handle.
Brit: maybe there’s a magic serum you can drink that’ll make you grow cat whiskers. maybe they’ll help you balance yourself and you won’t walk into things. you can wear a little catsuit too.
Me: it’d look really good with knee pads, helmet and mittens.
Brit: but at least you’d be safe!
he’s such a help isn’t he? if it were up to him, i’d look like a mutant.

I really like the idea of the baby mitts!
