Continuing to improve steadily. Went to the Farmer's Market today and got tasty green things as well as lunch with Guppy and a friend. It had rained, so the picnic tables were wet, and it drizzled on my truck on the way home, but it held off while we were there. And mmmm... green things. We're having beans with dinner tonight. (Grilled chicken adobo)

Kindergarten starts tomorrow, and I (like Guppy) am a mix of excited and scared. This is a big step, and it confuses me that she could be this old already. Wasn't she just learning to talk and sitting in a high chair developing all these strong opinions?

She's looking forward to making friends, and has already made artwork for her new teacher. She won't have any difficulty making her desires clear, and will never be railroaded by peer pressure, at least.

I'm looking forward to having a few hours to work every day. I haven't decided yet how I'm going to arrange my schedule. Maybe three days of not-a-book writing and two days that are 'other projects.' I'd love to go back to my Upheaval novel and finish that. I've got spicy stories to write for Patreon. I'm just a page or two from a new coloring book, and have several half-sketched. I need to do some birds for the next Coloring Alaska book, and I desperately need to give that website some attention. I see a list in my future.

My not-a-book is formatted and my revisions have been cleared. It will get a comb for typos, and is on the calendar for release in two weekends. Yay!

Toast and a Series of Unfortunate Events before bed. (The TV show, no actual events, I hope...)


Look out, kindergarten.

It had excellent bones! And you have a lot more experience organizing and polishing book-length pieces now.

Delighted to be a bad influence. Unlike some of us, I suspect you will actually manage to put it down once you're cleared for more physical activity. :)
