The week in review:

• Saturday was my last day before heading out to Davenport so I spent most of the day packing and finishing stuff so I would be ready to go in the morning. Did a lot of finalizing Polos with Meg to wrap up our plans. Also did 2 loads of laundry. And Polo'd my friend Ben as a break! I completed editing the next Not-So-Giant Women ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday was a lovely Meghan day! I got up late and we had breakfast, then went to Orlando to visit a botanical garden. It was lovely weather and we loved it. Then we went to the Daytona area to visit Buc-ee's because I had never been to one, and I bought a bunch of junk food. I got unreasonably mad about snacks in a gas station ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday was a sort of fuzzy blank day. Just trying to process everything and support Meggie because of Brendon passing away on Christmas. I did some chatting with my sister, talked to Meg on the phone, and posted some old photos of Brendon on social media. I ate a lot of leftovers and wasn't really paying attention to my ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday was an overall successful day! I got up super late but I needed the sleep. I ate some apple cinnamon oatmeal with raisins and it was delicious. Cleaned up the kitchen, went for a walk, and dove into planning the specifics for my podcast recording with Daria. Then I processed photos, finished my blogging, and played ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Biggest news is I sold a short story for the first time in a few years and it's really nice to be rewarded so fast after I just started submitting again. Very encouraging! The story is called "Everyone's Gay in Space." It'll be a while before it's published though, so I'll give details then.
  
  
• Saturday I did another oatmeal ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday involved some quick preparations for my podcast and getting my blogging stuff done too. Daria and I watched and responded to episodes 37 and 38 of Steven Universe ("Warp Tour" and "The Test"). I also got some other interviews scheduled and looked at the news too much.
  
  
• Sunday was one of those productive days. I was ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday I got up kinda late and made brunch so I could hang out digitally with my friends Meghan, Fred, and Kathy. We all chilled and had our food and caught up and had some fun. I had french toast. Had a nap after, organized some photos, practiced ukulele, and took some time out for talkies with my sister. Finally, I wrapped ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday was Fred and Kathy's wedding! I woke up super early because, well, east coast time, so I had a bunch of time to work on my blogging and eat breakfast in the hotel before I got ready and went to the church for the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony even though I didn't know the Catholic stuff, and I kept unexpectedly ( Read more... )

The week in review:

• Saturday I mostly just did a bunch of housekeeping--book reviews, updating photo galleries, and blogging. Other than that, it was a pretty low-key day and I didn't do a lot--I just wanted some time to rest. Also the drawing I did at Drink and Draw the previous day, I had posted it on the Steven Universe Amino and they featured ( Read more... )
