Okay. It’s not actually all that late, but I’ve been sick
all week, so it feels like the middle of the night, and I am exhausted, and in
pain, and I’m trying so hard to keep up this two blogs a week thing, but I just
can’t think of anything to say.
That’s not true. I actually have blogs planned through the
end of the year. The titles and corresponding dates are all written in my
notebook in purple pen, and I check one off when I write it, then again when I
post it, and one more time when I actually remember to link it on my other
social media. But I can’t make any of those scheduled words come out right now.
They’re all up there in my head, but they refuse to come out through my
fingers.
I guess it’s just one of those days. Sometimes life gets
hard, you know?
My house is currently being invaded by fruit flies. This is
odd primarily because the house contains no fruit. Honestly, it’s a miracle I
don’t have scurvy. And I’m doing all the usual things you do to get rid of
fruit flies, and it’s working, kind of. I’m catching dozens, but there are
always, always more.
The good news is that I’m really improving my hand-eye
coordination, catching them in the air. Also, my kill count is reaching, like,
mythic levels. I haven’t beaten the brave little tailor yet, but I’m getting
close. Four in one blow!
My birthday was yesterday. Nothing too spectacular, but I
liked it. Twenty four. We have a monthly birthday lunch at work, and it
happened to fall actually on my birthday, which was cool. Then I went to
therapy, and then my family came over for a couple hours.
Yeah, like I said, I don’t have much to say. Life in the
attic continues to be quiet and peaceful and fairy-tale-esque, the ongoing
fruit fly battle aside. I’m a little melancholy, but I think that’s normal, and
last weekend I got to make two Barbie skirt cakes!
(I happened to have the top half of a Ken lying around, and,
well, what else was I gonna do with him?)
Anyway, back to the usual Wednesday stuff next week—I’ve got
publishing rants, religion rants, all the usuals lined up. Sundays, of course,
are reserved for fairy tales, and this coming Sunday is the launch of Lindworm! The first chapter will be
posted here in a few days, and if you like it and want to keep reading, just
head over to Patreon and sign up to support me for as little as $1 per month!
