Las islas Cies desde la playa de Canido. Frío lluvia y mala mar, pero una preciosidad para los ojos.

Waning Moon

Jupiter & Mercury Retrograde

Cloudy and slushy, with black ice underneath

You can read the latest on the garden over on Gratitude and Growth.

I got the garbage out, did my errand, and then came back and shoveled out the back of the car, and also the car of the woman next to me, who had brushed off my car when all that snow accumulated over several days and I couldn’t deal with it. The snow on top of my car is crusted, and I wanted to let it thaw a little more before attacking it.

The snow was wet and heavy, more slush than snow, and my back was very unhappy by the end of it. I was cat furniture for a bit, lying on the couch to rest my back, but also trying to deal with some admin and prep for the meeting with my dramaturg.

The meeting went really well. We were both excited to get to work together again. She loved the play and got the references. We discussed places to tighten a few things, to bump up some action, and to do even more layering. She loved the way I showed how integrated the characters were in their community with references to offstage characters who never appeared as natural parts of the conversation. She felt that some of the things I worried about worked well, and a couple of things could be explored more deeply. So it was a good meeting, and I’m excited about March 16.

And it made me want to work on the pitch right away for the possible commission. So I did a little bit of work on that, while it was fresh and motivated, off the notes I’d made earlier in the day.  I still have to figure out a few things.

I got sidetracked after that, and was late getting to the ghostwriting, and had a frustrating session, so I will have to make up for that today, and probably work at least one day this weekend on it. That’s the way it goes.

I also had some admin to do that wasn’t fun, but such is life.

Heated up leftovers, we have yet more weather advisories out, and who knows what can get done over the next few days. I’m sick of it.

I’m reading a delightful novel translated from the French, which is a lot of fun. I will probably talk more about it in a day or two.

I’m angry at Congress for continuing to do very little. They could stop it, and not stopping this is a choice. Again, instead of doing the job for which they were elected, everything gets put back onto the citizenry. We elected YOU to do the day-to-day, you are PAID for it, so we can live our lives and check in occasionally. Do your effing jobs. Jasmine Crockett should have won the Senate primary in Texas. She was the best candidate. The other “Democrat” is in the Fetterman/Manchin/Sinema mold, in my opinion. But I don’t live in Texas, so it’s not as much of my business as what’s going on around here.

My back and hip were bad after the shoveling, got a little better through the afternoon, and worse in the evening.

It was in the 40’s yesterday, so everything was slushy. The temperatures dropped overnight, so it all iced over, and it’s a skating rink out there today. I had hoped to do another load of laundry, but no way am I trying to maneuver across the ice. I’ll wait until the weekend, or early next week. We’re fine with what I did last week, but I wanted to catch up. We are supposed to get more snow/ice starting late tonight until about noon tomorrow, but in the last fifteen minutes, we’ve gotten two contradictory alerts, one says we will get 2 inches of snow today/4 on Friday, another saying “light rain all day.”

I’m ready to just bang my head on the desk repeatedly.

It doesn’t help that communication is mucked up by Mercury Retrograde, either. I keep reminding myself to be patient, consistent, and keep trying.

Had a very specific dream centered around a friend of mine who is an artist, so I will have to tell her about it.

Had a good freewrite session this morning, working deeper into the pitch, and also on what I want to do with the Creative Capital proposal.

Anyway, I’m off to put in the grocery order, then it’s time for online meditation (which will make Charlotte happy). Then, writing and ghostwriting all day, with a break for #FreelanceFriends.

Have a good one!
