A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes. I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

40 degrees at 10 p.m. Montana Time. I'm tired but listening to music. I'm going to pause to sip some blackberry tea. 5 entries into the Oriental Poetry contest so that makes me happy. I like 5-10 entries minimum in contests I enter. 38 degrees at 9:49. Expecting it to warm up today. Should be nice. Odd dream of walking through a neighborhood of White Christians. They apparently were aware that there were other people out there but didn't quite catch on that I wasn't one of them. Very strange dream for me. I remember stooping down to look at a green lawn wondering whether it was grass. 3:27 and 52 calm degrees. Inside I'm feeling toasty. Fully clothed from going out: brown pants, white shirt, red/cream argyle vest. I kicked off my shoes. I spoke with Angie and Billie Jo today. I really need a case worker like Angie. I've needed one for over a year. Just talking to them helped. Spoke to Jay and Mica on the way back from the grocery store. We're all slowly uncoccooning. I bought marked down cherry turnovers. No so great imho. And Bustelo coffee because the big jar was affordable. And boneless chicken thighs, a welcomed change after a week of beef and pork. I spent just under $20. My monthly budget is $100 ... give or take. I "save money" by not eating at the Senior Center. My problem at home is that my meals are not balanced. I answered a newsfeed qustion about the difficulty of writing a synopsis thusly yesterday: "A very simple answer but first a question. Do you cook every meal you eat? Do you fix everything that is broken? Do you grow your own food? Have you ever built a house? Most people don't. There are reasons why people hire accountants, lawyers, housekeepers, snow-shovelers. So why is a writer expected to be a door-to-door salesman, a literary agent, a proofreader? One can ask friends or hire others to do that. A writer WRITES. f.u.l.l.s.t.o.p..." I just don't feel good. It's 52 degrees at 8 p.m. I'm so tired. I have a burger to eat ... not interested. Coffee? At this hour? Beautiful orange sunset. Chat with Bri. Feel flushed but my temp isn't high. 98.7. |
