My cat does not understand the significance of today

I'm about 2/3 of the way through the book at the moment. I decided to take my time with it, because there was no reason to rush. Originally I was going to be at Sectus and co-modding a round table with dragon_charmer about the future of Harry/Draco, and so my plan was to read like a fiend to be ready for that. I think that round table has happened by now, and I hope to find a post about what was said in the next couple of days.

But anyway, I woke up this morning and stared at the ceiling for a little while, thinking that this is the last morning I'll wake up not knowing how Harry Potter ends. That's sort of bittersweet, because I always had this crazy fear that something would happen to me and I would never find out how it ended, while at the same time not wanting it to be over. But this is it. Today is the day I will finally know everything. :-P

BTW, I'm writing up my thoughts chapter by chapter as I read here.

That's all, folks!

Well, I've finished. I haven't left my house since I got home Friday night (okay, Saturday morning, really), so I feel like I need to get a bit of fresh air. I did shower, at least, and managed to get enough snatches of sleep that I feel fine.

I want to make a big comprehensive post about how I feel about it all, but I think I need some time to digest it. I also want to read everyone else's thoughts, mostly because I feel like I've been horribly isolated, especially today. Not reading my flist during all of this was a lot harder than I thought it would be!

I kept a running commentary as I read each chapter, which contains my reactions to events as I read them and crazy theories as to what I thought was coming. Many of them were laughably wrong, but some of them were right. You can read that here, if you're interested. (Spoilers, obviously.)

I'm off to the grocery store, since I need to eat something other than pizza for dinner. And then I will spend the rest of the evening catching up with my flist!

*hugs everyone*
