I am thinking a lot about multitasking. I am always thinking about multitasking, because there is always so much to do. I really, really miss being a child at this point, because I could spend an entire afternoon sitting on the floor, reading. Or watching the clouds. Or sewing. And there was NOTHING else that …

(personal/writing) Thinking about time management
Posted on January 10, 2015
In a way, I’m lucky. My day job doesn’t come home with me. I go in, I deal with people, and I go home. It’s not something that I can bring home, nor is it something that I have to really schedule (lucky me, my day is scheduled for me). So articles about how to …
(writing/personal) The first blog post of the new year
Posted on January 3, 2015
Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I disappeared after the end of Advent – the holidays overwhelmed me, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write, never mind blog. But I hope everyone enjoyed this year’s Advent, and I promise, it’s not the last. For those who may not know (I know I have …

(personal/con/writing) A magical weekend
Posted on May 28, 2014
I just got back from Brigadoon – I mean, Balticon. (Please don’t tell me that you don’t get the reference, because then I’ll feel REALLY old. Just go with it.) The best place in the world to spend Memorial Day weekend is Hunt Valley, Maryland, at the best con in the world. No matter how …
(personal/writing) Yeah, I know, I know…
Posted on May 14, 2014
What can I say? I’ve had a bad winter, and I haven’t been keeping this up. There have been some personal things going on that I want to keep personal, but that have kept me from updating this, or writing a lot, or really doing anything other than going to work, eating and sleeping for …
