Wow it’s been a long time since I did one of these. I just finished typing up chapter ten. Shorter than I wanted it to be, that’s because a lot of what I originally put in chapter ten ended up in chapter seven. That’s okay. I can see how to expand this chapter if I […]
I really have been trying to post every day this month. Sunday I was offline most of the day, reading and knitting. Honestly, I hadn’t planned on posting, regardless of my “post every day” stance. Monday, I lost the key to my car while I was in Redmond. My friend had to come get me
Do you know when you’re angry? This isn’t a fallacious question. My mother always denied feeling angry when she obviously was, storming around the kitchen, slamming drawers and cupboards.

I don’t think of myself as a loner. I do think of myself as someone who prefers to be alone. Given options, I’ll stay home by myself most of the time. I’ve said that as long as I’m alone 80% of the time, I’m happy to be social the rest of the time. And I
So the posting every day in November only lasted, what, 6 days? Honestly, that was a bit longer than I expected. I’m not good at doing something every day. Every other day generally works just fine for me. I’m going to continue to make the effort to post every day however. I didn’t write yesterday.
The plan last night was: 1. Write on the plane 2. Take the bus home 3. Respond to comments once I got home. What happened: 1. Slept, read and crocheted on the plane 2. Indulged myself and took a shuttle 3. Vegged on the couch watching Top Chef Being in the office exhausts me. I
