• Book club book

    I meant to post this yesterday, but thinks got out of control. Sorry about that. The winner for next time around is . . . Julie Czerneda‘s A Turn of Light. I’m looking forward to it. There are talking toads.…

  • Death and Taxes

    I was feeling pretty good today. I figured out how to create Excel sheets and I did my taxes. Well, I prepped them as far as I can. Which is to say, I’m missing a few things and waiting for…

  • One of those days

    Today was one of those days. You know, the blue ones. I ended up being not only unproductive, but well, bad head space. Girlie stayed home sick today. Sore throat and hurting stomach. But she will be going back to…

  • Sunday Morning Coming Down

    Ah, love me some Johnny Cash (via Kris Kristofferson with that song).   Today I got work done on the WIP. Have fully slipped into edit mode and have been chopping, reshaping, snipping, and rethinking. I hate to say it…

  • Taxes and nutty old men and their socks

  • Whatta day

    I slept a lot today. I’m trying to figure out if I’m sleeping because I need it, or if it’s because I’m getting hit with the blues. I hesitate to call it depression, or to really name it at all…

  • effort

    In an effort to not get swamped by the blues today (to some slight success), I cleaned and did laundry. Cleaning is important because of course, at any time someone could come look at the house. Or so I hope.…

  • Cowardly mom

    I fled my children tonight. I admit it. I did all the mom things I was supposed to do. I helped with homework. I did laundry. I fixed dinner and fed them. I made one go shower. I read half…
