Overcast and much cooler today. These things are to be expected during early spring in Alabama. Our high was only 50˚F, it is currently 48˚F ( Read more... )

Yeah, so...sunny today. That was good. Our high was 82˚F, with a heat index of 84˚F. Which is our current temperature, at twilight ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today, with a little bit of clouds. But it was a wild, stormy night. There were times the lightning was so constant it seemed as if the night was trapped beneath a flickering sun. There was flooding in some nearby areas. Our high today was 83˚F. It is currently 81˚F ( Read more... )

Sitting here waiting to lose electricity and/or the internet, as Claudette rages around us. We're under a flash-flood warning until 2 a.m. Fortunately, we're on high ground, not down in the valley. But constant thunder and lightning, and a river where the driveway used to be ( Read more... )

It's sunny and currently 87˚F. That's the day's high.

It was an ass of a day, a day that sucked balls. Day before yesterday was a good day, unexpectedly. And, unexpectedly, today was wretched. For one, a migraine I woke with, which is only just now backing off. For another, turns out opening the ancient MS Word files I need to do the layout on ( Read more... )

And, just so you know, the last time I did two LJ entries on two consecutive days was October 18th and 19th.

What happened? I went into COVID-19 self-isolation about March 15th and within a couple of months, between one thing and the other, I wasn't writing. Sirenia Digest, my bread and butter, stopped going out. Indeed, though I managed some ( Read more... )

I did not actually consciously decide to put the journal on hiatus. It just happened. I could not image to continue recording that "Today I did nor write" over and over and over.

Oh, I did not write today. (rim shot, laugh track ( Read more... )

There is very little, if anything, that can be said about today.

Email. And I worked on the Winifred block.

And I'm more or less happy with Biden's VP pick.

And there was a mostly south of mediocre film, Andrew Niccol's In Time (2011). I can't believe this is the same director who made Gattaca (1997). At least Cillian Murphy was pretty to look ( Read more... )

So...the past thirty or so hours have been sorta surreal, but at least it was sunny today. It was sunnier yesterday. Well, no. It was just a lot hotter yesterday, which feels sunnier if you're me. Today's high was only 83˚F, with the heat index. It's now 68˚F ( Read more... )

Warm and some sun today, but thunderstorms late. Still, we made it to 93˚F with the heat index. It is now 76˚F.

Today was Lydia's third birthday.

I wrote 1,062 words and finished "Untitled Psychiatrist #4." And I also finished The End of the Megafauna by Ross D.E. MacPhee ( Read more... )
