Well, let’s see. The AC got fixed. Jane and I have both had more doctor visits, all good so far, I have to have a couple of laser fixes on my lens implants this next month, and I have been regaining some physical strength—I am now able to life the water pitcher to fill the coffee pot, hurrah—which is how bad it was at worst. Now I’m on the mend.I thought you might enjoy two not-expert pix of the Terror Kitten, aka Finity. Finity leaving her exercise wheel. Finity taking a nap. I’ve begun to explore the picture-using abilities of this software, as I just got a new camera for my birthday and am trying to learn to use it.

ANd the good news is we have reached 110,000 words of 120,000 (target, which we are likely to exceed) on ALLIANCE UNBOUND (working title.)

Even better news, after a year long hiatus my ‘voices’ are back—you know, those things that get some people onto meds, but are normal for us writer folk, who make our living by reporting the fact. Seriously, I’m waking up thinking about the situation I left poor JR in, and that is a really excellent thing.

It’s getting close to time to put the koi to bed for the winter—the water lilypads are yellowing and soon we’ll have to stop feeding them and let them go to sleep until March—October to November is their normal bedtime.

I finally got a camera, so I may be able to post pix. This is a good thing.
And that’s what I know this evening.

Just got back from grocery shopping. Jane and I did this one together. I’ve gotten very philosophical about the need to use one of the carts, which i have hated to use when there might be someone needing it more—I do walk, and even walk for exercise, but shopping is just different, and involves way too much standing, which for me is even harder, for some weird reason—the doc had to cut some nerves, and this didn’t help. Anyway this store has enough carts. And right now it means I’m not wiped out for the rest of the day and can get some writing done. So I’m not taking anything anybody needs.

For you new folk, remember I have to ‘approve’ your first post to be sure it isn’t offering tix to a Belgian lottery or something, so just be patient, and I’ll get there, and after that you can post away ad libitum and I don’t have to punch any special buttons. It will just appear.
