Fishwick Papers: The "Just Pay For Shipping!" Edition

Well looky here, it's a Friday!How was your week? I unpacked and assembled furniture, and Kirsty arrived from Sydney, and suddenly I have a real home life again! So long, sitting by myself on an air mattress eating peanut butter straight from the jar!At work, I'm thinking about story structures.
