I picked up my prescription for my migraine medicine this afternoon. I generally only get two migraines a month, so 24 pills is a year’s supply. Still. $751.99. Over $31/pill. I have insurance, so it only cost me my co-pay. I don’t know how people live without insurance. I am not looking forward to how […]
I’m a busy person. To some, that’s an understatement. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to fall into a writing habit that really works for me, but it has. The point is to write, or rewrite, or work on writing, every day. The point is not to write every morning at 7

Yesterday night I took a necessary sidetrack. I came to one of the places that was missing a scene. I couldn’t really continue with the character arc edit until I’d finished adding that scene. I knew it was important. But I didn’t know why. I approached it all wrong, of course. I knew what had

I find this fascinating. Basically, with this app and the little “square” piece of hardware that comes with the app, you can turn your iPhone into a credit/debit card reader: http://www.readwriteweb.com/start/2010/02/square-iphone-scanner-1-dollar.php I agree that there are security concerns with this.

Today I went on my second annual yarn buying spree, though I didn’t actually go to any yarn stores. Value Village has a huge sale on President’s Day — half off all clothing. And as spring is just around the corner, they bring out all their sweaters and mark them down in price. Then you

Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve updated. Things are good, but busy. One of the things I’ve been trying to do is get back into some healthy habits. To that end, I made food this weekend to eat over the week. I made a steak (it was on sale!) and chicken. The steak I
I wrote every day while I was in New Orleans. It was generally for an hour or so, though one day it was only 30 minutes. I’m not going to lie — it wasn’t easy to find that time, or the best work I’ve ever done. But. I did it. And that’s what counts. Without
The adventure continues! It was cold today. I mean, really cold for New Orleans. Went down to 37 last night. This is a place where palm trees grow wild. Seriously, seriously cold. Didn’t warm up all day. High was 45. I took the St. Charles street car all the way to Tulane today, walked around
I’ve had a wonderful day, but it isn’t over yet. I thought I’d post now, though.

Am here in New Orleans to scout out neighborhoods, figure out where I’m going to live come September when I move here. I ate dinner at The Alpine: a Louisiana Cajun Cafe. The food was amazing — fresh and perfectly seasoned. The cafe itself was very interesting. The patrons included a tableful of nuns, dressed
