Fascinated by technology since the Trash 80 came out. A grand lover…of coffee. My patron saint is Grumpy Cat, I live alone by choice, and I read way too much fanfiction. Cursed to live during interesting times.

The better soul of the house, and probably the smartest too. Definitely the cutest. She’s what gets me out of bed in the mornings and makes my life far more joyous every day than I deserve. ♥

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...

Another day successfully out the door by 6:00 am! Old habits die hard, indeed, even if they've been let lax for a bit. It was still 70°F with 90% humidity, though. WOE! Saw a couple of regulars I have not seen in a while, and one newer walker who has the most stylish...

Finally got out right at 6:00 am! Feels like it's been forever since I we were walking around that early! Alas, the hot weather is here; it was already 72°F degrees with 90% humidity by the time we stumbled out the door, and the sun was barely breaking over the...

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...

Another lovely morning in the Midtown 'burgh! About 65°F and just a bit sunny. Loved the shadows when I was walking by: Keely was slow to wake, but then so was I. We stumbled out at 7:00 am and spent most of the walk arguing about which way to go anywhere; not sure if...

It was such a lovely morning! Only 58°F and very low humidity (that is, less than 50%, which is downright arid for Florida), so while there were still a few mosquitoes about, it was a refreshing walk for both of us. I spent most of it listening to Dan Pink's book...

I got one of those little pop-up notifs from google photos "reminding" me of photos from years past. I thought about what I was doing two years ago when the pandemic had hit, and went back to look at photos from 2018. You know. 2018. Two years ago. *face!palm* I think...

Yesterday ending up being a very needed "day off" where I mostly lounged around and watched fun YT vids and read fanfic. The only disappointment was an attempt at pasta carbonara with chick-pea pasta, which other friends have recommended but did not work for me at...

Yesterday was spent mostly working on editing and trying to finish my next MMF fantasy book, The Queen's Aerie, which is clocking in at around 90k words. But by 5:00 pm I was done, so my friend KimM picked me up and whisked me away to her...
