I've somehow found my way back to my old Sunday routine.  Take the dog out for a walk/run/romp in the park (note: he runs; I don't) then come to Wayward with the laptop and loads of intention to write.  I like it here because you can actually bring your dogs inside and have coffee and write and your dog is sitting right next to you, or under the ( Read more... )

My freezer is pretty empty these days.  I took some time to actually clean it, toss out all the freezer burned edamame that Ant left me when he moved and the containers of stuff I cooked a year or two ago but have since forgotten what it actually is or was.  So now there's a container of blackberry sorbet and there's about 7 bananas and there's ( Read more... )
