The brain cloud has lifted. I may actually do more today than sleep. #Just opened the box w/ the non-dog chewed Avia athletic shoes I ordered in 12/08. Have been using the unopened box as a doorstop since then. #Just folded 3 baskets of laundry & it's official. @cuppacafe has TOO many T-shirts. (Had to get baskets out of the way of the treadmill.) #Just decided how to use leftovers for non-Internet dinner. Well, a bit of Internet courtesy of @homesicktexan but only for ingredient amts. #There ha

12 weeks and 8 weeks. They are interminably long periods of time. #And page proofs are done and gone, whew. Yes, it took me a week, but I can't sit and read my own work the way I can a book. Brain says no. #To celebrate, I believe I shall now look for some of the sleep I lost this past weekend and still haven't found. #I'm cooking from the Internet again. Be afraid.

Strange waking up to no tweets on my phone from @HoustonChron. It's how I get my morning news. Am now adrift knowing nothing of the world. #Off to San Antonio for a couple of days. Page proofs, laptop & AlphaDana all packed. There's no vacation in writing… #In San Antonio with only a stop on the way for Bar-B-Q in Flatonia. #Hotel is between Red Lobster, IHop, Shoney's, and Marie Callenders's. Food FTW! #Pretty much a zero chance will do any writing while away from home but will get page proofs

Have determined reading online is easiest for me when font is Verdana or Georgia. Hate Arial. TNR is okay, but V & G less tiring to eyes. #Also, refuse to read any blogs with white font on dark background. Won't do it, even if I love blogger. #Realized much of this while reading article The Lost Art of Reading http://bit.ly/2iC3j #"How do we pause when we must know everything instantly? How do we ruminate when we are constantly expected to respond?" http://bit.ly/2iC3j #.@ann_aguirre I find too

Not that anyone cares, but when I unfollow people, 99% of the time it's due to retweets that I'm getting from multiple sources. #Forget The Time Traveler's Wife. This is what I want to see!
