Do you know how long it takes to drive in idle from Rochester to Woodruff on the Queensway? 45 minutes. Do you know how I know?

In other news, I’m so excited that @bgordonauthor.bsky.social’s WIP is nearly ready for beta readers. And no, it’s not because I get to bake a Ready for Beta Readers Cake and eat it with him. I’m just happy because I care. Has nothing to do with cake. Nothing. I swear. Gosh, I love cake.

I’m setting a record at the doctor’s office today. 3.5 hour wait for a prescription refill and counting. Going to emergency at the hospital would’ve been faster!

Still a few years from retirement, but I’ve begun retirement training. Preliminary findings: retirement looks suspiciously like a full-time job devoted entirely to figuring out forms.

Fun fact! @bgordonauthor.bsky.social has completed the first draft of his steampunk fantasy, A Clockwork Spider, so we had to have First Draft Cake! At Dinsdale Press, we firmly believe in celebrating all the wins… with dessert. 😇 How do you celebrate first drafts, #AuthorSky? #SFF

A grey plate has a scalloped gold cake plate on top. A small white plate on top of the gold plate holds a miniature cake done up with turquoise and green icing with a raspberry in the centre. Around that plate are four miniature chocolate Bundt cakes with a turquoise rosette and green leaves.
