Musings About Writing and Stories About Life

She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors

Paradise

Been absolutely wiped out all day. Lethargic. Uncaring. And yet bored. A bad combination. I think (I hope) it mostly stems from not getting a good night's sleep. Ken was sniffly (allergies, probably. He never had them until we went to Britain, and then he had them every spring. Now I think he's stuck with them, even though we're back.) so he kept tossing and turning, which would wake me up and force me to re-cuddle. It was also very hot today. Anyway, the alarm went off early because Ken wanted to go to a garage sale that advertised a radial arm saw. I ended up not going with him; I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. (And the garage sale didn't exist, just to make things worse. I think they meant to say "Saturday and Sunday" and not "Friday and Saturday").

Eventually I got up, but I fell back asleep on the couch, sort of. That always makes me groggy. I did get about an hour's worth of copyediting done, and then I showered and headed out to my eye appt. I'm truly grateful, on a daily basis, that I live in this time and have money, because if I didn't, I'd probably be dead from the blindness (fallen off a cliff, eaten by wolves…). But I also get depressed because of my rotten eyesight and how it's hard to drive at night and such. Blech ptui.

After that, I went to the good used bookstore, and bought a bunch of romances (mostly Silhouettes) and one of the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (the Datlow & Windling ones). I want to collect all of them, but they're so flipping expensive. And most people don't re-sell them. So I guess I need to start asking for them for Yule and my birthday.

I stood in line forever at the PO to mail stuff, and picked up a few things at the drugstore and grocery store, and finally came home. It kind of sucked that Ken was home all day and I was gone for three hours, but he was mostly working on the outbuilding anyway. I had tea and gingersnaps, but they didn't wake me up. I lounged and read. I stared at e-mail. I watched a "Charmed" rerun and talked to Ken when he came inside, and then we watched a rerun of one of the best “Buffy” episodes, "Doppelgangland". Evil Willow in leather, Faith in skimpy clothes, and great dialogue. Yay.

Then I made meatloaf and risotto and asparagus, and we watched Home & Garden TV shows. Ken just went to bed and I’m about to join him. I’d hoped to hit 15K for the month, but I’m just shy of that. It’ll be a good goal to surpass for next month. Tomorrow, I’ll also do a recap of January and how I did with my goals. [insert ominous theme music here]
