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&#8212;I am now able to life the water pitcher to fill the coffee pot, hurrah&#8212;which is how bad it was at worst. Now I&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.) <\/p>\n<p>Even better news, after a year long hiatus my &#8216;voices&#8217; are back&#8212;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&#8217;m waking up thinking about the situation I left poor JR in, and that is a really excellent thing. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s getting close to time to put the koi to bed for the winter&#8212;the water lilypads are yellowing and soon we&#8217;ll have to stop feeding them and let them go to sleep until March&#8212;October to November is their normal bedtime. <\/p>\n<p>I finally got a camera, so I may be able to post pix. This is a good thing.<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s what I know this evening.<\/p>\n<p>Just got back from grocery shopping. Jane and I did this one together. I&#8217;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&#8212;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&#8212;the doc had to cut some nerves, and this didn&#8217;t help. Anyway this store has enough carts. And right now it means I&#8217;m not wiped out for the rest of the day and can get some writing done. So I&#8217;m not taking anything anybody needs. <\/p>\n<p>For you new folk, remember I have to &#8216;approve&#8217; your first post to be sure it isn&#8217;t offering tix to a Belgian lottery or something, so just be patient, and I&#8217;ll get there, and after that you can post away ad libitum and I don&#8217;t have to punch any special buttons. It will just appear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, let&#8217;s see. The AC got fixed.
