More on Gingie, just getting stuff out now
Just because I had to, I've been watching where the sun goes all day to make the paranoia that I put Gingie in a bad spot stop. From 12:45 to 1:15 there was no shade in the pen, but the rest of the time there's at least two corners in complete shade between the shadow from the house and the shade from the tree.

Back to Life
Or at least, life as it’s been for me for the last couple of years. I spend my time at home, mostly: applying for jobs; reading books that get me ruminating on one thing or another; reading about computers and design on the internet; dealing with whatever comes through my inbox; knitting, spinning, or embroidering depending on the project.
