I somewhat conquered the urge to be self-indulgent and just read and sleep, which is what I felt like doing this evening. Of course, the fact that it's not cool *inside* the house, and I have a bit of a headache from it being icky and way too hot earlier, and have been stupid-tired and brainless all week... none of that helps particularly. But anyway, I made it to 14k...
The old man has given Caroline a number of potentially useful things (including a magic table cloth, so she won't starve to death before sorting out where she's going!) and then gotten drunk and told her a number of potentially useful things. And it turns out that his wife (and the former owner of the magic objects) was the little sister of the Baba Yaga-esque Witch, and the Weaver we met earlier. I'm not sure how convincing a drunk I write, though. I mean, I don't know many drunk people... (sort of like not knowing many dead people, only... less permanant?)
And while I'm a pathetic 17% behind if I'm going for 50k, I'm just barely ahead for 30...
