I’m ignoring all the shit today and baking cookies. And after I eat lunch I will be frosting sugar cookies.

Making cupcakes for my eldest’s birthday. Fortunate to be close enough to take them to his college. He wanted 24 cupcakes because his floor “isn’t social” and he’s going to change that with the power of cake. That child is 💯 mine.

If Trump has had a major medical episode, like a stroke, then the WH staff has a responsibility to tell the American people. And if he’s incapacitated then he must resign. Congress - where are you?

Bouchercon is only 2 weeks away and I'm going to be there. Here's where to find me if you want to hang out. I'll also be at the bar and heaven knows where else. (Especially if it involves beignets!)

Got home at midnight, woke up at 6:30. So far I’ve: - laid in bed for an additional hour - hit the grocery store - done 2.5 loads of laundry - unpacked 2 of 3 suitcases (reason the last suitcase remains unpacked below) - had coffee and made a quiche - sorted mail and emails

Writing Community - It’s fine to feel sad if a project doesn’t get published. Time spent without a product to show for is crushing. But no words are wasted. You can’t help but learn more from failure than from your wildest successes.

Cat barfs on the carpet. Husband is cleaning it up. Finishes and gives me the stare of a man defeated. Me: “let’s get another cat.” Him: “to replace, or…” Me: “In addition to.” (Bringing our total to 3.) Him: ….. no.
