I've done So. Much. Today.

I couldn't point a finger at anything individually grueling, and my to-do list wasn't really that impressive, but I feel like I haven't stopped all day, rushing from thing to thing. It is, at least, a nicer day than yesterday, with spots of sun, and batches of chocolate chip cookies.

I wrote no words today, but I did finish a commission and deliver it, and tweak it, and get it approved! Horrah!

It's pretty hilarious that Jake and I got each other early birthday presents of thermoses without collaborating on it. I got him a tiny 9 oz thermos for his coffee (he was lamenting not being able to find anything smaller than 12 oz), and he got me a thermos for nighttime ice water because I was jealous of the one he had. (I am excited to give him his second present, but his birthday isn't for another few days and he reads my blog, so I can't gush about what I found yet.)

Have a photo from last week when it was ridiculously sunny and hot:


We stopped for lunch at the Pita Place, which has AMAZING falafel, as a treat after the gym. Guppy enjoyed her hummus pita. I'm not sure what the L signifies, except that she was doing her best to be completely loony.

ETA: Woops, didn't post this last night. A great night of sleep later, and ready to tackle the to-do list that is no shorter than yesterday! *cracks knuckles*

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes - it was really lovely to come home to. :)

And, I have a new story up at Torn World I forgot to post about here (seriously, can't brain... though a nap did help greatly!) - The Sea Queen is an Irfai myth about a half-fish woman who tames sea monsters. It is free to read until the end of the month (two more days!) unless it is sponsored for $10. (TW or EMG credits accepted, including spend-only credits!)

Working on some other major news posts as the brain allows. Also, need to vacuum and pay bills. Nap, little Guppy! Nap like the wind!
