I got an invoice from an arborist and there’s a fuel surcharge added on. First time I’ve seen something like this. It all rolls downhill to the consumer.

I have a clean oven for the first time since—don’t ask. It’s kind of amazing how long I put up with the caked on mess. It blows my mind whenever I open the oven door. Sad to think that this is the sort of thing that gives me a thrill nowadays. A clean oven. Go me.

My mom went to Wells College, about 25 miles from Cornell. I remember a ditty she sang in the car when we were visiting her Alma mater: “High above Cayuga’s waters There’s an awful smell Some say it’s Cayuga’s waters Some say it’s Cornell.” Boy, I’ve been thinking a lot about that song this week.

Chalk picture on the trail I encountered on my morning walk around Lake Nokomis today. I found it oddly touching. #MorningWalk

I have broken out in a case of shingles. I am treating it with Valacyclovir, tea, cherry chocolate scone with marscapone, a Booklovers candle (“Darcy’s Parlour”) and fanfiction.

One of my Duolingo sentences this morning. How apropos. I’ve passed 60,000 words, which is hopeful. But I began writing this thing about 25 years ago.
A screenshot of a Duolingo lesson. English sentence: “I think that I’ll never be done writing this novel.” Spanish sentence below: “Creo que nunca terminaré de escriber esta novela.”
