Argh!

So, I’ve been terrible about keeping up with my Done lists. They seem to end up on my To Do lists, which I’m kinda not supposed to be keeping. But if I don’t, I forget stuff. Oh, the things that fall out of my brain….

Here's this weekend:

Saturday’s Done List

• put away four loads of laundry (one previous load plus three today)
• washed four loads of laundry (darks, lights, hoodies, and delicates)
• dishes
• swept and mopped kitchen
• took out trash and recycling
• put away stuff from Pirate Tourney (or at least put it in the sewing/garb room)
• made dinner (seasoned and heated a chicken dish from a friend)
• watched the second ep of Masterpiece Mysteries “Zen” as well as an ep of “Alphas” with Ken
• worked on lesbian romance collection  (pondered cover art, mocked up sample cover for ebook; finished writing notes for each story; made full document with intro, stories, about the author, etc.) 

Sunday’s Done List

• delivered message to tenant and arranged taking her shopping next week
• went out to lunch with Ken
• went grocery shopping with Ken
• did dishes. twice.
• scooped three litterboxes and refilled the Kitling’s food and water
• did paperwork with Ken
• did 13K words of a copyediting job
• made dinner (stuffed Monterey sole from grocery store, corn on the cob, brown rice)
• answered a bunch of email
• designed a thank-you card for the woman who found Ken after the accident and called 911 and stayed there until emergency services arrived (this involved photopaper, note card stock, and a glue stick, among other things. Fear my crafty power!)
• dealt with a few work-related emails

Meanwhile, tomorrow’s going to be a busy one:

• someone’s coming to replace the windshield on my car. Ken’s dealing with that. Which is a good thing, because they could arrive as early as 8 am
• our cleaning lady is coming to do windows and scrub out our fireplace
• Ken has his first therapy appointment for his hand and shoulder
• we’re having dinner with a friend

Somewhere in there, I have to…wait. I’m not supposed to be making To Do lists. ARGH!

Ken update: Hand, hand, fingers, thumb!

Sorry for the lack of Ken updates…it’s just that there hasn’t been much of anything to update. Until today, that is.

Rejoice! for Ken no longer has pins sticking out of his knuckles and a big clunky thing immobilizing his hand and wrist!  *\o/*

The pins themselves were almost anticlimactic—they just slid right out. He said it felt a little weird, but there was no pain. His hand’s swollen still, the skin is peeling, and the fingers are still stiff. He has his first therapy appointment on Monday, for both his hand and his shoulder. Twice a week for six weeks, and then we’ll see, I guess. He just wants his throttle hand back.  ;-)

Other than that, he still tires easily. For example, Tuesday we went to the Styx/Yes show at The Greek Theatre in Hollywood. We left at about 2:45 to miss traffic, and did so with such competence that we got there half an hour early, so we killed some time drinking tea at Starbuck’s. Styx went on first, so we ditched Yes (sorry…) but ended up going out for a late dinner with friends, so we didn’t get home ’til about 1 am.

He spent most of Wednesday napping as a result.

Thus we’re continuing to lie low and take it easy. Not too many outings, and keeping them short.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, visits are highly recommended to help him from going nuts. We can also go out for lunch or dinner, or the movies, if you’d like to meet up somewhere (provided we don’t have much else scheduled that day). Please. Really. We love our friends and we want to see you!

Busted!

So I was scanning blogs on GoogleReader today and noticed that Rachel Kramer Bussel mentioned an anthology she has a story in…as does Sophie Mouette (my alter ego with Teresa Noelle Roberts). And I thought, did I totally forget I had a story sale? Because I don't remember this one….  O.o

::laughs and laughs::

When I investigated more closely, I realized it wasn't an anthology edited by Rachel. It's Cleis Press's first-ever e-anthology, and they had solicited our story because it was one of their favorites!

So without further ado, may I proudly announced that "Busted" is now available in Soaking Wet: Lesbian Sex Stories!
