Another very warm day. We reached 87˚F, and it's still 74˚F.

I'm not sure I'd call today a truly bad day, but it wasn't a good day, either. Maybe I should lead with these posts I made to Facebook this morning:

I've been counting our "sheltering-in-place" period since the 15th of March, which makes this the 50th day. I am, by nature, reclusive, ( Read more... )

I am on the ragged, tattered end of my last nerve. So, naturally tonight I had a tooth blow apart ( Read more... )

It's only 11:29 ayem and already this day can blow me.

Currently, it's a measly 51˚F. On May 1st. Why couldn't I have been stranded in Hawaii or Venice or the south of France?

But I wrote 1,546 words on "Dead Letter Office."

Last night, True Detective (this week's, and a re-watch of last week's), Penny Dreadful, and the final episode of Nurse Jackie, plus a quirky little postmodernish western, John Maclean's Slow West ( ( Read more... )

No sign of sun over Providence today. Sure, the sky's brighter than it was a midnight, but not by much. Currently, here in Cold Springland, it's 52˚F and feels like 49˚F, and the clouds rule the heavens. On the first day of June.

Yesterday, I wrote 762 words and found THE END of "Le Meneur des loups." It will appear in Sirenia Digest #112, which I ( Read more... )

It was supposed to be sunny today, but it's overcast. They say we'll reach 80˚F, but it's current only 72˚F, and it was 77˚F half an hour ago, so...whatever.

Yesterday, I wrote another thousand words on "Le Meneur des loups.This morning at 5:30 a.m., lying awake, I made a decision to take steps to remedy a certain, shall we say, lifestyle choice. ( Read more... )

Yesterday, without warning and in defiance of Accuweather, cold spring skipped actual spring and became summer. Yesterday's high, which was supposed to be 79˚F, was 86˚F. And it looks as if the same thing might happen today. At 12:08 p.m. it's 83˚F (with a heat index of 86˚F ( Read more... )

If the meteorologists are to be believed, yesterday the temperature climbed to 82˚F. It felt like it, sitting here in my office with the window open. It felt like proper fucking spring. And it still does today. We're at 78˚, though it's mostly cloudy. I have no complaints about this weather ( Read more... )

This will be short, as I'm running late, because I overslept - because I had to watch the sunrise again. There's talk of the temperature reaching 75˚F today. Currently, it's at 64˚F ( Read more... )
