It’s another plain gray day out there. Plain gray days are not helping my ability to wake up and stay focused.
This is another shot from my trip out of the house over the weekend. This is the sort of thing that might help me stay awake and focused and all those other grown-up, responsible-type things.

It’s another Monday, and since I’m actually having a decent hair day, I thought I’d share:
All the cool kids are using number two pencils to hold their hair back. At least they used to, anyway.
This hair accessory decision has been brought to you by Buffy Summers. Because I’m reliving my youth through hair accessories. 🙂

I’m still feeling a bit zombified today, so here’s another picture of that gorgeous sunset from a couple nights ago:
Hope you’re having a grand weekend! 🙂

In desperate need of some decongestant, I made a trip to town this morning, and this was the sight that greeted me:
The sun on the snow was so bright that my head throbbed all the way there and back, but it was worth it to get it on film (so to speak). What a beautiful day!

There was another absolutely gorgeous sunset last night, and I was lucky enough to get a few pictures of it:
Almost made getting stuck in the driveway worth it. (Okay, not really, but I’m trying to find a bright side to getting stuck in a barely-drifted driveway.)
Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

This pretty much sums up how I’m feeling right now. This cold is still kicking my butt, but in the last twenty-four hours, I’ve managed to finish that story for Miss Tadpole (and she liked it so much, she took it to school to show off), fix a bunch of track changes issues in stories I’d submitted for an anthology (and learned how to use track changes correctly in the process), start reviewing a short story for someone (Oh, hello, track changes, how are you today?), and process two tax returns at work.
*scarfs chocolate miraculously left over from yesterday*
Of course, these are quite fitting for today’s mental state as well:
Our local coffee shop has the best décor. Of course, I probably only think that because it happens to be true.
On second thought, no I don’t. It’s awesome regardless of its truth.

I bought myself a treat last night in anticipation of reaching my short story goal for the week. I’m proud to announce that I met said goal this noon and have now done the requisite polishing. Woo!
Needless to say, I’ve been enjoying my treat. Because after all, what writer doesn’t love chocolate? Especially when it’s as good as this!
How do you treat yourself when you reach a goal?

Some of my new pencils and my current WIP, an experiment in narrative poetry commissioned by Miss Tadpole:
I’m having a lot of fun with this project, though I suspect I’d be having more fun if I didn’t feel like my head was stuffed with cotton balls. Go away, cold! No one wants you!
Now, where did I put that VapoRub?

Had to go up to Rochester today for a follow-up appointment. Along the way, we passed a store that was going out of business and had everything marked way, way down. We stopped to check things out on the way home, and among other things, I found this:
It’s a Bluetooth speaker. Now I can listen to Pandora on my phone with better sound quality! Yay! 😀
I also got four new Pentel Quicker Clicker mechanical pencils for 60% off. I am all set for a while now. At the rate I’ve gone through these pencils, I shouldn’t have to buy another one for a couple of decades at least. 😀

Last night we had our first major snow storm in a while.
We were supposed to get five to nine inches, but from the looks of things, we got less than half that. Still, the wind has been wicked. I hate to think what the drifts are like out there.
But it’s okay – this has been the perfect weekend for snuggling up under a blanket with a good book and a cup of tea. 🙂

Suddenly they all died. The end.
