Feels good to be back in the groove...not that I've gotten much done today other than drink some coffee! We're waiting for the rain to move through, although I think at least for Tally it's more threat and less action. At least it is a nice cloud layer to keep the sun...
Horrific news cycle yet again...how anyone can look at what happens here in the USA far too often and not see how broken our country is baffles me...I can't even engage with anyone who would dismiss such tragedy. The people jumping in to yell "soft target!" as if the...
Writing this from a place of pain – absolutely wretched headache came on slowly this morning and I waited too long to take ibuprofen, because I don't know why. I usually take some aspirin when I first get up, and something in my psyche is, like, "well you had some...
It's Friday, the end of a low-energy week for me. I should expect it by now – every time I finish writing a novel, I tend to withdraw creatively for a bit, along with feeling overwhelmed. I do have a lot of things "in process", a lot of plates twirling on poles, and...

Here we are again, Monday! I'm feeling a little like a working drone, since I've moved up our wake up time by an hour in order to get out for our morning walk by 6:00 am...not quite successful, as it took Keely hustling me around for a bit until I was ready, which was...
Recovering this morning from a late dinner at Little Paris, where the food was excellent and the wine flowed freely! Alas, the reason wasn't so great — my friend KimM had suffered a house burglary which lost her some precious jewelry pieces of sentimental value (as...
I just realized, typing this, that today is Friday the 13th! It's admittedly a grim memorial, and I understand why it is associated with bad luck (RIP, Knights Templar!) but long before I knew about its history I, like many 80s goth kids, adopted it as a "Spooky...
