We lost power for about two minutes tonight. Ken wasn’t home; I was downstairs working. I actually used the laptop to light my way upstairs to find a flashlight. Heh. I am a tool user.

My Magic: The Gathering proposal suffered a huge setback today when I found out they’ve completely destroyed the place where I was setting it. But I think I can write around it, and I’m stubborn enough to keep trying. It’s been a tough writing day all around, though. No ideas for another antho story I should be working on, etc. I went to Borders today to look at some M:TG info and it was no help at all. Ah well. Everyone has off days, and I shall persevere and triumph.

Ken’s mom is coming for a brief visit this weekend, but I’ll try to get some writing done as well. At least get to the final critique I owe, and do some editing. It’s all part of the process. And Mom’s visit will be fun—we’ll decorate the tree, walk through the Historic District a few streets over to see the lights and decoration display, and go to a Solstice cookie party that a friend is hosting.
