She’s fine. There’s that moment in the Harry Potter movies, where Mrs. Macgonagal looks at Harry, Hermione and Ron and goes, “Why is it always you?” Ron replies, “Believe me, Professor–we ask ourselves the same question.” Geoffie. If anyone is going to get sick, it’s Geoffie. When she weighed three pounds she stepped on a… Read More

Okay– so I wasn’t going to post today, I was going to write a story for Patreon, but the following happened. I’ve been working on a pair of socks and I’m so close to done–like, one good conversation and some Friday night TV close to done. But there was a sale on this super bulky… Read More

Oddly enough, everybody wanted to know about my day. Seriously–I have repeatedly told people, “I live a very uninteresting life!” and about six people asked–but, oddly enough, I have something to tell! For starters–last night, I thought I’d lost my fingerless mitts on my walk, and I was much depressed. 🙁   This morning, on… Read More

Okay– so, sorry I didn’t report back last night. So. Tired. Also, I had to make up word count. But teaching at the East Bay chapter of RWA was a blast! Lovely, lovely authors–all of them kind and accepting, and I felt right at home. Their usual room was hijacked by somebody (there was much… Read More

Okay– so, VERY short post tonight. This weekend, I am, alas, not going to be at the Lavender Library with my QSAC folks–and I’ll miss it! *waves* Instead, Mate and I are driving to Berkeley tomorrow night (the older kids including my ginormous son will be here with the younger kids which makes me very… Read More

So VERY short post today– I just want to say, my life is a circus, and I’m not so sure I’m the ringleader. Picked the kids up from school–nothing. Silence all the way home. I actually got lost in my audiobook and forgot they were there. Then Squish was like, “I’m talking to my former… Read More

First of all, Mate is home, and there is much rejoicing! (yayayayayayayyayayay!) It’s funny how a Mate–any Mate–isn’t missed so much in the big things–the grand dramatic gesture of bringing me yarn, for example, although that was much appreciated!–but in the little things.  Touching hands as you pass through the house. Someone to watch television… Read More

Short post tonight–my newsletter is up on Patreon for the public– come look!   It’s been me and the kids this week, and some of it has been blargh but most of it has been us–and we’ve had a little bit of fun. Sometimes–whether it’s at home or out and about, it’s the tiny convos that… Read More

A long time ago, when ZoomBoy and Squish were little, Mate’s job took him on business trips a lot. Weird shit always managed to happen when he was gone. Raccoons in the backyard? Only once in 22 years–when he was gone. A terrible thump and a giant blood spot on the floor of the garage?… Read More

Okay… so, two nights ago, I finished Safe Heart, the third in the Search and Rescue series, and it took an extra long time because A.  Christmas, and B. Sick. So yesterday I did a Patreon story, and tonight, I… well, I finished another project. Like Safe Heart, this one had a Christmas deadline–and I… Read More
