Cloudy and mild
We had frost this morning, and it’s supposed to hit 60F by noon. Wacky.

Episode 36: Jake’s Back
Jake believes Nina is the only one who can save his life.
Meditation was good yesterday morning. Always a nice break in the week. I love my personal meditation practice, but doing it in community adds a layer. Even virtually, when it’s the right group.
After breakfast, I uploaded and scheduled two episodes of Legerdemain, getting me into mid-December. Not as far ahead as I’d like, but still, better than scrambling at the last minute. Wrote a bit on the weird Northumbria piece. The chapter on which I’m working will need restructuring, but, for the moment, I want to get through it and move on. I did a couple of scoring sheets and a quick coverage.
Then, I spent about 2 ½ hours on the nonwriting project. Made the pieces I think I need; have the materials in case I need some more. Today, I should be able to start painting.
The organza gift bags I ordered arrived. I can start packing presents this weekend and next week.
Read for a bit, and then headed off to a double yoga session. It was good, but man, she worked us in that lower back clinic! Thank goodness we had gentle yoga after.
Picked up takeout on the way home.
Read for a bit, to finish a book I’d begun and paused when I decided to read THE HOUSEKEEPERS (which I loved). Sadly, this book was mediocre and disappointing. I kept getting too far ahead of it. From someone whose publisher gives a huge amount of publicity.
Slept well, although my bad hip gave me some pain (from class, where we worked on it) Stretched it out again in this morning’s practice, and that felt better. My arms and hands and midback hurt from the nonwriting project, but it’s good to use a different batch of muscles than sitting at the computer all day.
On today’s agenda: we head to Lee to do the last of our holiday shopping. I do some writing first (starting with Legerdemain). Then, I alternate painting with script coverage – do a coat of paint, do a script coverage, and so forth and so on. On the way back from Lee, I also have to stop at the library to drop off/pick up books.
Tomorrow, I have a Native Herbal Medicine class in the morning in Stockbridge. I considered making another couple of stops, since I’m down in that direction, but the weather’s going to turn, so I’ll probably come right back to complete the painting and add the finishing coat.
Sunday, I’m supposed to be in about five different places, and since I haven’t mastered bi-(multi?) locating or cloning, so that’s not happening. The priority on Sunday is writing the overseas cards, because they have to go out on Monday.
In and around everything else this weekend, there’s writing that needs to happen, and, preferably, some edits on CAST IRON MURDER, if I can fit them in.
Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch you on the other side!
