Sunny and a little clouds both, today. Our high so far is 86F.

Not gonna talk about work, except to say that insomnia layered on depression and anxiety is a hell of a shit sandwich, so...nothing done today.

The afternoon's film was Anthony and Joe Russo's Avengers: Endgame (2019). And it occurred to me, as it always does everytime I watch this ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today. This morning there was light snow across part of northern Alabama. We reached 52˚F. The terrible cold has passed.

I woke to anger, and it really hasn't let me go. It wavers somewhere between clarity and incoherence.

I'm sick of this world. Sick of the 21st Century. I'm sick of the whining on the Right and the Left. I'm sick of ( Read more... )

Sunny this morning, but it's been getting cloudier all day. Our high was 72˚F.

I don't think there is anything good I can say about today.

Sunny today, a nice change. Currently, it's about 81˚F, so an oddly cooler day. I do not fear autumn as much this year as I often do, but I am horrified that I came home to Alabama only to lose two consecutive summers ( Read more... )

Cloudy all day. That's become a refrain, hasn't it? It's currently about 80˚F, heat index 85˚F.

I did quite a lot of work today, including starting that stack of "cheat sheet" note cards for The Night Watchers. I hate doing this. It isn't writing. It's a weird sot of playing at seeing the future. It's a lie. I have no idea what will happen in this ( Read more... )

Sun this morning, but at some point the clouds came. Our high was 88˚F, with the heat index at 97˚F. Currently, it's only 76˚F ( Read more... )
