Yeah, I kind of vanished there. I got annoyed by the hot water heater issue, couldn’t get it solved, got stuck on EVERYTHING because of that one thing, and now here we are, with a book edit due tomorrow and the roomie coming home Tuesday, and everything is half-done or not even begun. Blargh. So […]

List of DOOM, Day oops

I was really tired yesterday, okay? Somehow I’d forgotten that you can’t start getting up 1-2 hours earlier without going to bed earlier, if you don’t want to really feel it, anyway. TBH, today I didn’t get much done either. I did make an AWESOME coconut quinoa curry in the crockpot that I didn’t select

DOOM, List Of, Day 3

Ahh, the $400 cactus… When we moved into our lovely new house, I did some exploring. In the little grassy alleyway between our yard and the neighbor’s, outside the gate in my backyard that opened into the alley, was a prickly-pear-type cactus. It wasn’t a big cactus!

While the Cat’s Away…

While the Cat's Away...

Well, technically the cat is here, her handmaiden is away. But whatever. The roomie is out of town. It doesn’t happen often, that she leaves and I don’t. Last time, I don’t think I did much except what I always do–keep the house running. Which isn’t really fair–when I go out of town, the roomie

Editing Flail

Editing Flail

It takes time to find your way into an edit–or at least it does me–and that “time” seems to be relative. Do I have a month until the story is due? It will take me two weeks to get past the flail. Do I have six months till deadline? It’ll take five months to get
