I picked up my keys this morning. Kept grinning because I couldn’t believe it — I’m here! I’m going to be living here! In this amazing, oh so special city! I did allow myself a purchase today — my first pair of replacement earrings. I’d felt so naked without any earrings. They were expensive, but […]

Woke up at 5:30 this morning because I realized one other thing that was in the box. My box of jewelry. All my earrings. All my mother’s earrings. Possibly my mother’s diamond necklace. (There’s a chance I packed this someplace else. I won’t be able to figure that out until I get to New Orleans.
I’m exhausted and so rambling. You’ve been warned. I’m also pissed off at myself. I took a box out of my car, then put it on the ground, intending to bring it into the hotel room. I realized I’d forgotten the box a couple hours later. Checked the parking lot — it isn’t there. As

I’ve been driving for the last two days. Three more days to go. At least. Possibly more. Kiera is doing better tonight.

I have a timer on the work computer (as well as the home computer.) I work for 55 minutes, then I’m supposed to take a 5 minute break. I recently made myself a standing desk for doing the day job (nothing fancy — a bunch of books on one of my end tables.) Instead of

I leave Seattle October 16th. I will not be finished rewriting the first novel by then, though I’m making a real effort. There are just too many things to do on the weekends for me to dive into it for hours and hours. *sigh* I will be close to finished. I hope. I’m currently in
Had a marvelous weekend with out of town friends. Didn’t write much (at all) but that’s okay. Will hit it hard every day after this. Still haven’t rented my place out yet. *sigh* Am concerned about it. If it happens, it happens. I only need one person. But I really kind of would like to
