The Lubin/Rains finally--finally!--showed up!  Glee all around.  It came in with the Preiss, and I picked up the Tarchetti at the library, so things are looking up.

Oh, except for the fact that I am sick.  Miserably, loathsomely sick.  It would be tragic if I had spent all of this time and energy and money on this thing only to die within spitting distance of a degree.
