Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

Bed desk

Day 4025: February 26, 2024

Prompt: “It starts with this: put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Where is your desk locate? If you don't have a desk, where do you write? Does the location of your desk encourage or discourage your creativity?

I don’t have a desk. I don’t even have a desk computer. I write everything, using one finger, on my iPad. I did purchase an Apple MacBook but I still prefer my iPad.
As to where I write, it’s on my bed. I use a pillow to prop the iPad on my knees and I write. I love my bedroom, it’s where I’m not distracted by dirty dishes, the ticking clock, the snoring, farting dog or my husband deciding it’s coffee/lunch/chat time.

I’m unsure of the quote by Steven King and its meaning. Why does he suggest putting your desk in the corner? Of course you’re not going to put it in the middle of the room. Not unless that’s where you’re feeling the most comfortable, of course.

When I’m hiding in my bedroom writing, the door will slowly open and the dog will remind me I’ve been in here too long and not to forget it’s nearing her dinner time. Sometimes I need the reminder for as as you all know time has no meaning when writing.
