Staying Home, Week 1

I’ve been furloughed for a week now, and I’m doing okay. I’m cognizant of how very lucky I am–I’m furloughed, not laid off or let go. I qualify for unemployment, and I have a computer and internet to get that ball rolling (now if they could toss that ball back to me, with money…) I […]

That Slug Life

That Slug Life

At work, I know what I need to do and when I need to do it. All too often it is “All of it!” and “no later than yesterday!” but I know. There’s a lot to be said for knowing what you need to do, and having a timeline of when it needs to be

Just One Resolution

Just One Resolution

I don’t usually do New Year’s Resolutions. They don’t tend to stick, according to the science. And they annoy me.

Still Editing

Still Editing

As I’ve observed many times, editing never ends. At some point they drag the manuscript out of your limp, exhausted hands, and you weep with relief but also that you were going to fix that one…last…THING… I am, as has become my habit and I hate it, past deadline. Naturally this is tempting me to

A Month Later...

Whoops. Look, there are going to be false starts in this back-to-blogging-regularly thing. Approximately *checks notes* twenty-seven of them, if my math is correct. Some of the stuff on the list of DOOM got done, most didn’t. We did go camping. It was wonderful. The child came home, other teenagers came to live with us,
