End of September

Had another impromptu Friend Meal today, breakfast at Honey Biscuit with three good friends from my Borders days. Great to catch up. Theme of the “how are you doing?” segment of chat was very much a collective exchange of, “Oh, pretty good except for the overwhelming existential dread.” Which is life in Fascist USA these days.

Anything more on that is better suited to the WTF section. Rest of convo (which ran about two hors, we do know how to TALK, yes we do) was about family, Kids These Days, favorite grocery stores, most hated apps, technology gripes, health stuff, and etc. It was both noted and accepted that yes, we sound like old women—damn it, because we are, so we’ve earned it.

It was really nice to start the day by getting out for a long walk. Every time I do that I feel good afterwards, so every time I think, “I should make this a habit,” and every time I forget. I really need to remember how good it feels.

Have now made tea, paid some bills, checked on finances, and renewed a couple of memberships. Daily games have been played, items added to the to-do list, grocery list updated, and music is playing. Pretty good day so far.

Plan? Continue the writing. Start contemplating the things I want to get done before WindyCon. Water the plants. Figure out how to put chunks of writing into emails for alpha readers.

That’s a good long list. Gonna get to it.
