Sunny today and a high of 43F, after a nightly low of 35F, though to me it felt much colder.

I think I hardly slept last night. But I got up at 7 a.m., and I worked. I am having to teach myself again that writing is not something I do when I feel like doing it, when I am inspired. It is what I do that pays the bills, which has always been my ( Read more... )

So, today's high was 93.9F, with a heat index of 102F.

Much better day, though I did not get better sleep, maybe four decent hours. But after a cloudy morning, the day turned sunny - if windy and not truly warm. Our high was 66F.

I spent the day putting together Sirenia Digest 215 (Decemeber 2023), which will go out to subscribers as soon as Gordon Duke gets it back to me (he makes my MS Word files, ( Read more... )

Cloudy most of the day, but we started getting a little sun this afternoon. Nothing like the marvelous heat of Thursday. Our high was only 65F.

Summer cannot come soon enough.

The ms. for Bright Dead Star is essentially done. I still need to tweak the introduction just a little, and there are questions of a few Post-It notes I have not addressed ( Read more... )
