Five things to make a post
Early tomorrow morning (Seattle time) is the vernal equinox. So I can put away my lights for 6 months.
The dishwasher is misbehaving and they have to order parts. Which means it will be next week before it's working again. I really hate doing dishes by hand. Yes, I know. Privileged first world problems. Well, I live in the first world.
Anxiety level much reduced but still present. But at least I've quit clenching my teeth and have nearly all the sores healed up. There are still a couple I can't seem to leave alone, but it's quite a bit of progress!
Am reading Bear's new book, Shattered Pillars. I just finished re-reading the 1st book, Range of Ghosts, yesterday, and immediately started this one. I absolutely adored RoG, but am having to take this 2nd one a bit more slowly. I think I'll love it too, but it has a lot of very intense stuff. I read her books slowly as a rule. I almost never want to rewrite her prose on account of awkwardness (unlike *some* writers I could mention) but I sometimes have to re-read sentences for clarity. Sometimes multiple times. Which is probably a lack in me rather than in the author. At least today I don't have the mental fog I was wandering about in yesterday.
Oh dear. It's the vernal equinox and I still have Christmas stuff piled in the dining room waiting for sorting. Well, I had a tough winter.
