I had the building to myself at work after Monday. Everyone else was either still on break or at a conference. I thought I’d have time to watch the yearly mandated videos and do some filings. I only got to watch one video (one more to go!) and not any filing at all. Oi! Sooo,…

the rain that fell one Wednesday
Nana’s funeral was March 29th in Pittsburg. Even though we were coming together for a solemn occasion, I don’t know that I would describe it as sad. Nana lived a long, full life and she is remembered as a woman who gave to her community and loved her family and friends. I remember her as…
Sunday Rain
Maybe I’ll get back to my TWITL posts. I’m not sure. Maybe I just need to write something every week without being so regimented about it. Maybe. February is my busy month at work and this last one was no exception. Transfers! I always think that I’ll be prepared to be timely with my collecting…
TMITL – November (weeks 45, 46, 47, 48)
National Novel Writing Month was a success for me! Quick stats: title – Enough is Full of Romance (though I wrote it as Almost Maybes) genre – romance (umm, big surprise?) 50,000 words – November 23 final word count – 60,107 words Not too bad! I probably could have written more but I had to…

TWITL – week sixteen – reasons to celebrate
I’m so grateful I have a routine that involves leaving the house twice a week to work in the office. I think it’s keeping me from going stir crazy. I’ve had to figure out what work needs to be done NOW and what can wait a little. Consequently, I have lots of filing to do…
TWITL – week fifteen – what keeps us sane
It’s nice having a sort of routine now. It’s a weird routine but I feel less aimless, I suppose. Part of me wishes that I had chosen two days in a row to go in for work but I know it’s better to be in for Tuesdays and Thursdays. WRITING I have been seriously slacking…
TWITL – week forty-one – time flies and flutters
time flies and fluttersdrawing close then floating outconnecting in dreams My uncle’s funeral was on Friday. It was sad, of course, but also joyful too. I loved seeing a glimpse of his life and how his family remembered him. When we could laugh, I think it helped soothe some of the grief. I loved seeing…
