(personal/writing/to-do) Deciding to take Sunday off

Well, in the sense that I’m not going to Williamsfaire. I feel like I SHOULD, but you know what? I need to do laundry, I need to cook for the week, and I need to keep writing. And I wasn’t going to really do anything at Williamsfaire anyways, other than write. So I feel better …

(personal/metrics) Finally, a day off!

It was weird, working this Thursday. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get used to it! I’m enjoying being home to eat with hubby, though, even if it IS hard to get up at 6:30 am every morning.

The dream was shattered when nearly 250 lbs of cat, dog and niece landed on her and the …

(advent) December 24 – Christmas Eve…

December 24 Don’t worry, Molly, he’ll be here. Molly smiled down at Schrodinger, who was standing next to her as she looked out the window. He had one paw on her leg, and his whole body radiated concern. “I know,” she said, letting the curtain drop. “I was actually looking out for Zette – I …

It’s a short episode today, sorry – I’m wiped, and Molly’s too worried to do much. But tomorrow, we will have more! I promise! December 23 Molly? Why are you still up? Schrodinger came padding out into the living room. Molly was curled up on the sofa under a throw her aunt had crocheted, looking …

(advent) December 22 – Five golden rings…

December 22 “Schrodinger, hurry up! We want to start!” Sarah called from the tea room, and Molly laughed. “Go!” she said, shooing the CrossCat off his stool. “I’ll finish these – it sounds like they’re just waiting for you.
