Uhmmm — yeah. It’s been 4 weeks since I updated. Or even spent any time reading my FL. Sorry?
The day job has been crazy. At this point I believe that come Friday it will be calm again. At least until April. Then I’ll probably have another insane month.
I had a lovely time in Mpls with my dad and my brothers. It was very relaxing. I didn’t do much of anything. I did do a lot of work on the novel. I figure I’ll finish the rewrite by the end of January.
It’s also wonderful to be back here in Seattle. HOME. I thought a lot about that while I was gone. This place feels more like home than other places I’ve lived. Not because of the condo that I live in, but because of the neighborhood. Everything is so close, so convenient. I know that the neighborhood will potentially change, particularly if I do end up staying here for a long time. But I adore it. Even when stuff like this happens on my street corner. Eep!
I hope that the new year brings all of you an abundance of Good Things.
Yiiks! Home is good but stay safe! It’s good to hear from you.
Thanks! I plan on staying in all day, and writing. (I refuse to go out to any stores today — I don’t think it’s right to make people work on holidays like today!)
Funny, that! I have a good friend who loves working the holidays (a nurse.) She gets paid triple time, only has to work an 8-hour shift of her choice, so she still has time for family gatherings. Straight-time minimum wage would not be so nice.
Hey there, yourself! Thanks so much for the beautiful card, and a happy new year to you. 🙂
(and eep, indeed! good lord. hope they find the evildoer quickly.)
Thank you for the good wishes! I hope that you have a wonderful year. And I’m glad you liked the card.
Happy New Year to you!
And to you too!
Happy New Year! Hoping your year is one of successes.
Happy New Year to you as well. I hope your year is also widely successful.
Wow, that’s scary. Makes me glad I didn’t walk home by myself last night (er, this morning).
It *is* scary. She lived in the building next to mine. However, they’re now thinking that it wasn’t a random thing, but that this guy not only knew her, he’d asked her out and she’d turned him down.
Still — am planning on being really vigilant — not like I’m not always, but even more so.
Good to hear from you! And I’m glad that you’ve found a place that really feels like home, that is a wonderful feeling.
I’ve never had a place like this before. I do think that I was made for this level of urban living. I won’t want to go more urban than this. I’ve lived in the sticks as well, and just didn’t like it — not as much as I love living here.
