Consider Your Search History

Or ‘You Know You’re a Writer When…’

Greetings and salutations, fellow scribes of the world!

A lil’ taste of what my pal Google has contributed to my edification:

– square foot gardening (more on this later)

– fairies and their weaknesses

– DNA collection at Death Scenes

– Human diseases and conditions

– Arthurian legends

– Shakespeare’s true identity

– Leonardo da Vinci’s drug use

 

Seems harmless enough, no?

I don’t know this George, or what he has to do with anything I’ve done lately, but I’m calling it a win.

If I Had a Hammer…

Or ‘How I Spent the last 144hrs’

team mazama final

So, I built a bed yesterday.

And other things.

Oh, the unpacking. That, too.

How in the frakkenshnoiders did I ever accumulate so much stuff? I may have mentioned The Sisterhood calling me out as an ’emotional hoarder’ and I can’t say I disagree with her. But as a Disney character declared–and many people have sung since–I really needed to let it go!

The major move is over. The old place is in my rearview mirror. But now it’s time to make this place a home, my Sanctuary, and it just so happens to coincide with the Day of Fools.

Oh, boy. Bumpy roads ahead.

On to other things, such as… WEEK FOUR, People!

Some might say this month has flown by. I agree to a certain extent–then want to continue with the sobfest known as my move. It’s been going so painfully slow I see snails up ahead in the distance looking over their shoulder (Do me a favor and pretend snails have shoulders, wouldya?) offering a wince more than a smile but full of pity.

HOWEVER, I like to think of brighter and shinier things. Despite the move dragging me down, it’s been great to read what other people have been up to this month.
