Rain, rain, rain. I think we saw a few seconds sunlight this afternoon. But mostly rain, fog filling the valley, thunderstorms. We have a flash flood watch through Saturday. But it's warm, warmer than it should be. We made it to 70F today ( Read more... )

I slept! At least seven hours. It had started getting scary. Last night, I was genuinely ill. Anyway, I fell asleep about 10:30 p.m., after dozing most of the night, and I slept until...it was almost sunrise. I didn't get anything written because it took me so long to wake up, and I usually wake up within minutes ( Read more... )

Sunny all day. Cold. Our high was 68F. That dosn't sound cold, but the low last night was 37F, and the day felt cold.

This new way that I am working. Last night, I sort of dozed on and off until about 2 a.m., and then I got up and wrote another 1,316 words on The Night Watchers. I laid down again about 3:45 a.m. and fell asleep, then got up at 7 a ( Read more... )

A bit warmer today, but very low humidty. Our high was 87F.

I was up at 6:30 a.m., and I began a piece I've been trying to get started for days. I'm calling it "Footnote to Ovid," though that might be a working title, and it will feature in Sirenia Digest 211. Then I spent some time being utterly flustered at my recent lack of progress on The ( Read more... )

Cold day, after a cold (but not as cold) night. Our high today was 48˚F, after a nightly low of 31˚F ( Read more... )

It seems our weirdly, ominously warm November is over. The high today was only 59˚F, overcast, with rain, and we have a freeze warning for tonight.

As wrong as the warmth and the dry were, I do so hate the cold and the wet.

I fucked up and slept late, until 7 p.m. I managed a paltry 597 words on the beginning of Section 7 of the new Tinfoil ( Read more... )

This was the sort of day that I think of as Halloween in Alabama. Rainy, foggy, a little wind tosses leaves about, a high of 63˚F ( Read more... )

So here we are in autumn. And the photo below shows that, even in Alafuckingbama, autumn can bring out the pagan weirdness lurking in the deep places of all our psyches. Truly, that sheep mask, in an Alabama grocery store. How is that not fucked up? I think I have to go back and buy the damn thing just because it's not every day, right? Anyway, a ( Read more... )

Sunny today, and cool. Our high was 56˚F.

I did work today, fiction and paleo', but I'm tired and don't feel like getting into the details.

I read some article online today about self-proclaimed "idlers," part of the so-called "Great Resignation." Idlers. When I was young, we called them bums, people who believe they should not have to work. I ( Read more... )

Very, very tired. A warm and sunny day, and it's still 61˚F. But very cold air is on the way again ( Read more... )
