Hey, remember when I said
we’d start heading home Thursday night. Hahaha! It’s now 5:50 pm on Friday and
Ken’s got the bikes on the trailer and is packing up the rest of our stuff. I’m
guessing we won’t make it to Redding tonight. But that’s okay. We’ll get a ways
down the road, and tomorrow will be a long-ish day, but I love road-tripping
with him and we’ll be home late tomorrow and have kittays to cuddle. I miss my
kittays. A neighborhood cat was in Ernie and Pauline’s backyard earlier today
and entirely resisted my attempts to molest it.
It’s been a productive few
days here. Ken’s been hard at work on the bike with his friend Ernie, and I’ve
been hard at work on writing and business stuff. Finished one story and sent it
to a first reader, and beta-read a story for her. Conferred with an editor
about edits to an accepted story. I’m 2300 words into yet another story. I’ve
handled a lot of work email, including prepping for next week’s design binge
(two freelance jobs).
And we’ve had a lovely time
with Ernie and Pauline, even if I’ve been a bit antisocial what with my hiding
in the bedroom and writing. I’ve emerged for supper and a little TV watching
(and when we discovered they’d never seen Love
Actually, we had to watch that!), and I did manage one lunch out with them.
But work is work, you know? These damn deadlines, they never go away! (Oh,
yeah, most of them are self-imposed. Man, I really have a boss with a lot of
expectations….)
Also, someone has offered
to do something very, very wonderful for me, in the spirit of pay-it-forward
and karma for the tribe. I can’t say more, but I wanted to mention it here,
because I’m stunned to the point of waving my hands around trying not to cry.
Thank you. You know who you are. Thank you so much.
