Made it to the middle of the month!

Backstory (yesterday) Monday was a rest day mostly, thanks to the Sunday overnight binge through The Pitt, which it turns out won a bunch of awards Sunday night right before I was watching it. Coincidence? Undoubtedly, but it tickles me to know it anyhow. I read Bryony & Roses, sampled my two new decaffeinated teas, and finished a scene in the Stray Cat story. Supper of leftover pizza and fresh garlic bread in front of the first two episodes of Black Sails, which I’d seen long ago, but Spouseman has decided he wants to watch. And I dyed my hair, in preparation for doing many peopling things later this week.

Story (today) Broke into the yogurt for breakfast, picked tomatoes, baked the cookie dough I made last Friday, and cut Spokesman’s hair. He returned the favor by giving me a trim around the sides and back so I am Socially Presentable. I’m waiting until after all the peopling (but before Windycon) to do the seasonal buzzcut. That way I can push the midwinter cut until after the new year and not have to deal with haircut stress and holiday stress at the same time.

Lunched on leftover casserole, pickled the tomatoes I cooked, and did my daily puzzles. And now I’m at the desk, with the Chicks playing, and a fresh cuppa tea, ready to tackle some more fiction writing.

Or not. Time will tell. Tonight there will be a meal of the Last Of Last Week’s Leftovers, and more Black Sails, and then four days of Peopling. Tomorrow is a tour of The Newbery Library plus Fancy Supper at a steakhouse on someone else’s dime. The tour doesn’t start until afternoon, so we’re planning on training into town early and catching a snack at Frontera Grill.

It should be a good time. I’ll report on it, of course. That’s all for now.
