A day of surprises
Almost all of them bad ( Read more... ) -
Today could be better
Yesterday morning I thought huh did Rocket eat that much before going out? then remembered the sounds of something trying to get into the house so I took note of how much food was in the bowl last night (because he was out last night) sure enough the bowl was mostly empty and the food Rocket threw on the floor was gone so yeah, whatever it is, is ( Read more... ) -
Well I survived
It was my first day back to work after my sabbatical. It was like I never left. It was busier than I should have been with online weirdness and had to help a couple of students new to the school (one who has something I've never seen 4.0 for three straight years. WOW ( Read more... ) -
Writerly Ways
The theme of this post is doing your due diligence. I did not, for example, with that wedding anthology a few weeks back and totally missed the homophobic coding in the language. Needless to say I'm not submitting to that one. I am, however, working on that other wedding horror story (I'm at the I hate everything I write stage) and I went back to ( Read more... ) -

What I Just Finished Reading:
To Slip the Bonds of Earth - a historical mystery, i liked this and I generally like Amanda Flower's work.
What I am Currently Reading:The Lost House - icelandic noir arc, if this wasn't an arc I'd probably have given up. I do not like our point of ( Read more... ) -
That was sad
So today I put everything in bags to go home tomorrow (literally the only window to even make it back at this point and pray Friday's snow storm doesn't come early). And then my father and I went to see my uncle. His roommate is a very lonely man (and honestly I'm not sure why he's not in assisted living vs full care because he doesn't seem in ( Read more... ) -
One last day of shopping
I don't have a costco within nearly 100 miles of me so I went today. I got my tires there. I'm now much poorer. I also took a peek at Best Buy to get an idea about a computer. I want/need a new desktop ( Read more... )
