Box of books arrived today! Detail of cover (fuzzy, sorry….) Very cool! In other news: progressing apace on Hogboblin edits, and finding more trouble on every page, sigh; swimming up a storm; the squirrels are digging thousands of holes in my back yard; I had a very good meeting with a realtor yesterday; a lovely […]

I slept marvelously last night! And woke up and there was sun everywhere! Everywhere!! So, yeah, I feel better. At least for now. 🙂 I searched all my photos, and I apparently have never taken a picture of that side of the gazebo. Well, I have now, here’s the mystery chimes: It’s very pretty. I

Had another night of poor sleep last night, again with the not-getting-sleepy, and the waking-up-a-lot, and the lousy angsty dreams. I’m not sure what’s up with that, really, truly. Taking it easy yesterday didn’t help…so today I went to yoga class, and worked hard on that chapter, and had a strenuous swim, and repotted an

I slept better last night than I did the night before, but I was still sort of off-kilter and low energy today. Fortunately, I had a massage scheduled, and that REALLY felt good–felt like exactly what I should be doing with my day. I also decided I didn’t need to go for a swim, since

Apparently I told too many people how well I’ve been sleeping, so I had to have sleepfail last night to render me once again humble. No apparent reason, just…couldn’t get sleepy. And when I did finally fall asleep, it was storm-tossed and unsatisfying. It’s been a nice day, though, despite all that. Met snippy for

Notes from Elsewhere: I talked to my uncle today, first time in ages…we’ll visit him when we’re down south for World Fantasy. It was good to hear his voice. Here’s him on the 405 freeway when they shut it down a while back: No sooner did I hang up when the phone rang again..this time

Today I Cleaned All The Things, or at least Most of them, as there are always More Things, long past the point of exhaustion. But I did laundry and changed the sheets and towels, and vacuumed, and did a bunch of dishes from having had La Enigma and her Consort over for dinner last night

I got through an important chapter in Hobgoblin today….again. I had another domino fall in the realizing-of-things. I may have it this time. I’ve thought this before. All I can do is keep moving forward… ___________________ It was another bleak and bleary day, lots of rain. And the gym was very crowded. Can’t imagine why…it’s

Well the city is back, digging up the street again–this time a few doors down. And in the rain, poor souls. Part of me thinks, Why not just dig up the whole street and replace the entire sewer at once? I’m sure it all needs it. Then the other part of me thinks, Nooooooo not

I think I’ve been over jetlag for several days now, but only today did my real energy come back. I got a good night’s sleep (as I have been most of the week), then did a decent amount of yoga, had breakfast, the usual. Then I went on a tear. I cleaned and organized my
