When the village fails, we're all to blame
Hubby didn’t put his breathe-right strip on and I lost count on how often his snoring woke me up. So I feel a little crabby this morning. Will finish this and get dressed and walk the dog down to the river. Baseball tournament with my son is later today, so much to do.
I let myself get sucked into stupid arguing with stupid people regarding the ( Read more... ) -
Take me down to the river to wash off...
Heavy clouds, no rain. Which means I need to water the garden today. I watered the pallet garden last night. I really, really have to find a better way to battle the slugs. But I think I might cave and get slug bait. They are never ending around here.
I had the weirdest dreams last night. I had the hubby is leaving me dream, which happens at ( Read more... ) -
Every river that you try to cross, I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Apparently we slept through a thunderstorm last night. All that outside time the last three days finally caught up with me. I never complain about sleeping so hard I don’t hear anything. But no telling if Bean came home when he was supposed to. I was already asleep ( Read more... ) -
Palatable today Bitter tomorrow
Don’t be shocked, but the forecast for the greater Seattle area has little to no rain in its forecast for the week to come. Could it be that summer has truly arrived? Honestly, since I moved here in 2006, Summer never arrives until after the 4th of July and lasts through October. And even October weather is mostly pleasant.

Don't forget the Motor City...
I’m still struck this morning for my absolute gratefulness for cool, clean drinking water. I was drinking a glass before bed (taking my anti-inflammatory meds, too) and the images of the fires in Colorado and Australia came into my head. And suddenly this tsunami of gratefulness for the water washed over me. I nearly cried. We so take so much ( Read more... ) -
It's too late to change events...
We are to get some warmth today, but no sun. The sun is supposed to appear tomorrow. We shall see.
I was fairly productive yesterday. I got the two blog pieces done (in total 1,247 words + 839 words, respectively), I edited my fanny off and made huge progress on both Martius Catalyst and SECOND THOUGHT, ferried children all over the place, ( Read more... ) -
Become the master of the invisible that swirls around you..
I was happy when the rain returned. Now it can go away. It can go away like sleep. I did get maybe a whole two hours because I won’t let myself leave my bed. I just lay there reading or eyes closed trying hard to clear my head. Listening to my husband snore (albeit less intrusive than before the all-glorious breathe-right strips). But then I awoke ( Read more... ) -
FTS
I don’t know why I keep trying. It just feels like I’m fooling myself.
Why, yes, I got another rejection slip yesterday.
There’s one last submission out there. And then there will be none.
I’m afraid of what I’ll do if they say no.
I feel like everything I touch is full of fail. Why do I even try?
My writing, my finances, my ( Read more... ) -

Back and Starting of a Migraine awoke me. Couldn’t go back to sleep because my husband’s snoring is so epically out of control right now, but he won’t do anything about it. So, I don’t sleep.
I had to put the frakkin fire on it’s so frakkin cold this morning.. Also had to take some pain med for ( Read more... ) -
It was a past life thing; my destination was unknown
April 25, 2012 Morning Pages 0750 hrs Rainy and 50 degrees in Twin Peaks, no chance for sun today…
