Tentatively have internet

Let's see how it lasts. Another storm incoming. Head desk.

It was SO hot in my house when I got home. I couldn't figure out why. THen Kanda came over for pets. He was FREEZING.

Kanda, were you sleeping on the a/c vent?

Me? - Kanda, looking innocent.

At least he's not completely stupid. He IS however being bad. I'm not sure if it's the storms or more likely the long hours I'm gone but he's been BITING me bad. Just attacking the shit out of me while crying. I am distracting him with toys. I think he's lonely and wants attention. Biting me isn't the best way to get attention.

I found out why Bob Evans sold me food on paper plates the other day when I had no power. Rio Grande's sewage treatment plant was under water. There was nowhere for wash water to go. Also that means the water was undrinkable since it was flushing into the ponds that make up the drinking water. Special

I am supposed to be in Florida right now. I am very depressed that I am not.

I do want to thank evil_little_dog, kiramaru7 & 0_mother_0 for being first readers for Boldly Go Email me what name, if any, you want me to put in the acknowledgements.


I had the weirdest dream. Fragmentary but all so very weird. I dreamt about being in a museum with someone...some alien who was criticising the dinosaur displays because he had seen them in person (no not Dr. Who, not that cute) and he kept drawing the 'real' things on the walls. He was good.

Then it morphed and I was inside the room looking out at this balcony. Mom was out there with some other woman and a giraffe kept nuzzling them. The other lady was thrilled because she was sexually aroused by giraffes (seriously brain What the holy fuck?).

Then it changed again and I was with a heavy set cop guy that I thought needed to be on Major Crimes but wasn't one of the characters. He was stabbed by his girlfriend and we got them both out of there but I went into his apartment and into his bed (again WTF?) and there were pieces of broken red glass in it. THen soaking up through the sheets were words, like a warning then blood-soaked news articles.

Then I woke up. Thankfully

I have my colored cover for the short story Snowbound if you just can't wait til the cover reveal I can email you a sneak peek.

Happy birthday to midnightsjane

We buried one of the last of grandma's two remaining friends today. She was 102. Now there is only one...
