Today I got good news.
Nothing writing-related, mind you. Life-related. The sort of news that’s supposed to make you kick off your shoes, dance a jig and then scream at the world, “Take that! I’m still here, bitches!”
But it wasn’t. At least not for me. Relief, mostly, but soured with a [...]

Not Now, Not Yet, Soon
10 Jun
No, no, no . . .
No words typed in.
No work done on the short story.
No progress on the manuscript build.
I did journal today – extensively. And it lulled me into a false sense of productivity. Still, it needed to get out and it couldn’t be done here and I feel a little better in that regard. It [...]

Small Changes
Today wasn’t spent writing.
But I don’t mind so much. Today was pleasant. Started the day with a load of laundry and taking the dog for a walk under dark skies being whisked away by the early wind, then some puttering before I dived head first into the book I was reading, Magic Study [...]

Sleeping Puppy
Well, she was sleeping. As Jack moved towards her food bowl, she got up to see what he was up to. Now she’s sprawled in from of them, just to keep an eye on ‘em.
Not too many entries lately, as I’ve been busy with work, doing minor things around the house, and with [...]

Jagged Little … Pills
I’m on the second day of two days off, and I have a list of things to do.
We picked up a moveable kitchen cart, which is fantastic, since moving my old dinner table into the living room to make a new safe area for the cat food means I have really no space [...]

All finished!
After some trickery with front and back page printing, I’ve just printed out 233 pages worth of journal entries. That was so, so, so much better than hand-formating each entry. And as long as I keep the link in my journal, I can go back, create another document, and print from where I [...]

Sexy!
I have one hell of a sexy lasagne sitting on my stovetop. Made from scratch, all of it, from the bolognese to the bechamel to the noodles.
The bolognese was rich and hearty, and I used thyme I’ve grown myself.
The bechamel was as smooth as silk, night and day different from the last [...]

Hanging Out & House Cleaning
I’m in the middle of trying to figure out our new prep lists for work, and where it’s all going in our fridges. I question whether or not I should be doing this on my own time (I’m off today, after all), but if I don’t do it, it will never, EVER be done. [...]

Actually …
That wasn’t paella, but jambalaya that I made … and it wasn’t too bad. I don’t know what it is – the Joy of Cooking book has some fantastic ingredient information and the procedure is often sound (ie, along the lines of how we did it in cooking school) but more often than not, [...]

Good Day.
Very rare is the day off that I have which coincides with Todd’s day off and one where the stores are still open.
We started today lounging in bed, then readied ourselves for some serious yard-work. The lot hadn’t been raked or tidied since before we moved in, so there were leaves and debris and [...]
