January
I read:
I Capture the Castle
Shadow in Ombria
Perfect Circle
California Landscape (geological history)
a nameless book for review
I saw:
Walk the Line (with Elizabeth)
I wrote:
the end of the draft of the story about the man who made a deal with the devil for a bigger vineyard
I went to San Francisco: seven times
I also visited my grandniece Julianna
I paid my late property taxes and helped Emma to apply for a union scholarship (I still have to file some old income taxes, and this year's)
I cleared the floor in the library and the laundry room
I went for I think six walks in the forest, and got lost once
I took about three hundred pictures, mostly of mushrooms in the forest
I wrote only five of the impeachment letters
I made an agreement with Zac about the shed after having found out that no company will sell us insurance until the old shed is down
I took in both cars for maintenance
February
I plan to take six walks in the forest and twelve shorter walks with the dog
I'm signed up for two water treatment plant tours
I plan to file this year's taxes and FAFSAs for both Frank and Emma
I plan to find out what I need to do to get the old taxes taken care of
I plan to go to the Parks and Rec old folks' fincancial class, to get the house etc. lined up so as to make things as convenient as possible for Frank and Emma when the inevitable happens
I plan to clear out the upstairs and get Emma's old computer set up there
I plan to update my scrapbook with photos of urban-rural Santa Cruz County
I plan to get the rest of The Donor online, to finish "Raining Here" and revise the devil deal vineyard story. I also plan to get Bella and Chain updated to the current time. And to start a new short story.
I plan to submit the new stories and the stories which have come back ("Convoy" and I forget which else and I can't check because I'm not home).
I plan to query agents for The Conduit. And to consider putting Esperanza Highway online.
This month is also he month for the fiftieth anniversary of my uncle and aunt in Los Angeles and the Chinese New Year Parade.
Today is Groundhog Day and the fifteenth anniversary of my mother's death.
I am not sure I saved the little brown bird that banged its head repeatedly trying to fly out Gloria's windows. It's breathing, and I set it in the sun, but it is either still stunned or dying.
