Went out tonight for a break, except the town rolls up at 5 on Sundays. I anticipated that, however, and decided to go to Dunkin Donuts. Ended up eating a donut and drinking tea in the car, writing a little in my notebook, but made a note to self: plan my breaks better. Probably should have just taken a walk, although it was windy and cold and occasionally spitting rain. All I managed in my notebook was one poem which might as well be titled "Ode to Crap", and a couple of sketchy paragraphs beginning a short story.

Sent emails out to all the homeschool groups in the area, so maybe we can get connected with actual human beings soon.
