So far, I’ve been happy with the way the playoffs have been going. There have been few surprises, but many of the games have been good to watch. The Spurs, after their disappointing first game, have been doing very well. I’m watching their first game in Seattle now, and it … Continue reading →
For readers without military experience, you might not grasp the significance of that. The most important thing this means is I can attempt to schedule the packers and movers tomorrow–hoping my preferred days in the second week of June are not already scheduled. Hubby and I are doing well this … Continue reading →
I’m going to be mostly offline until around May 25th. Barring the really unusual, though, I should be fine. I’ve had the crud that’s been going around, but I scheduled the worst of it to hit over last weekend. I’ve been functioning at nearly normal capacity since then with some … Continue reading →
The weekend got off to a slow start. I’ve managed to go from waking up with a post-nasal drip cough on Wednesday to not wanting to move by Friday night. I spent the weekend in bed, alternately sleeping and revising Twilight. (Thank heaven for my wireless connection and my laptop!) … Continue reading →
Sometimes one must go the extra mile to support our deployed troops. The wife of a former co-worker whose gym locker is about six away from mine is on her way to her second (or is it her third?) trip to the Sandbox since Operation Iraqi Freedom began–she and her … Continue reading →

I managed to do some revision on Twilight while I was at home. Perhaps more importantly (aside from the time spent in loving bliss doing yard work with my hubby) was the reading I accomplished on Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to Edit Yourself into Print by Renni Browne and … Continue reading →
Finally made it back to Virginia. Bad weather in Atlanta, compounded by a long mechanical delay on my scheduled aircraft, rendered my efforts to leave San Antonio yesterday afternoon fruitless. Since they wanted to strand me in Atlanta very late last night, I elected to extend my leave one day … Continue reading →
Knee feels better today. Hands were a little better when I got up this morning. They still feel OK tonight, but I still plan to minimize computer use while I’m home with hubby (he’s jealous of these affairs I carry on with my computers anyway–I think he prefers the attention … Continue reading →
