Hey, everybody. Things have been mega busy around Casa Del Irwin. Lately, I feel as though I have about a dozen very angry Yorkshire Terriers clamped on to my pantleg.

#$&^%*#ing books aren’t here yet. Expect tomorrow. Praying. If they don’t get here by Wednesday, I have to go to Wizard World without them. Crossed fingers are greatly appreciated.
