Waxing Moon
Chiron, Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury Retrograde
Partly sunny and raw
We made it to Friday! Yay! It’s a little warmer today, but kind of raw.
Today’s serial episode is from ANGEL HUNT:
Episode 94: Drogo’s Decision
Drogo must return home with the new information.
Tomorrow’s serial episode is from DEADLY DRAMATICS:
Episode 44: One Missing
There’s no sign of Jake, dead or alive.
Yesterday was busy, but felt scattered and frustrated. I edited and uploaded next week’s Legerdemain episodes. There was a release glitch with Tuesday’s episode, so I had to wait until it went through the approval queue, then fix the date, then send it through the queue again, but it looks like it’s sorted out.
While I waited for it to go through the queue, I wrote the following two episodes, polished, uploaded, and scheduled them. That gets me through the end of the year, plus the last episode of the year is also Episode 150, which kind of feels like a big deal. Okay, no “kind of” about it. 150 episodes is a big deal.
After lunch, I switched over to script coverage and turned around a handful of short coverages.
I did some admin work, and some puttering around. There were dozens of small irritations during the course of the day, as there tend to be during Mercury Retrograde, but really nothing that couldn’t be handled or let go of. There’s a point where certain things just aren’t worth the stress.
I went to the double yoga class. After six weeks of the lower back clinic (and working on exercises every day in between sessions), I’m seeing improvement. So that’s all good. There are two more weeks of that class, and of gentle yoga for the year, and then gentle yoga moves back to Tuesday nights in January, which works better for me.
Home made up a meal out of leftovers that turned out okay. Read for a bit.
Came up with some blurb/video ideas for THE LIGHTHOUSE LADY and CHRONOS & THE WITCH (ANGEL HUNT seasons 2 & 3) and noted them in Keep Notes on my phone, because I was too tired to get out of bed, but didn’t want to lose that thought.
Up early this morning and spent some extra time on my home yoga practice. I’ve slacked off in the mornings because I’ve been back in the studio, although I’ve done some of the lower back exercises at the end of the writing day, before dinner.
I want to get some writing done (time to work ahead on Legerdemain over the next few weeks). Then it’s errand time – post office, library, pharmacy, grocery store, picking up ink for the printer (because of course I’m out of ink again). I need to work on the project for Yule some more – I have six or seven more pieces to make, which will then need to be painted and finished, and I have to put the cords on all of them and pack them in their little gift bags before Solstice.
Tomorrow, I work on the stollen, which is an all-day event. Don’t worry; I’ll post photos! 
I hope to get some other writing and editing done this weekend, but we’ll see how it goes. I also want to at least start the next book for review.
I have to pin the cards to the board and put it up on the mantel. Cards are coming in, and it’s fun! I have some ornament boxes to put away, and tidying up to do, so that we can sit back and enjoy our decorations for the next couple of weeks.
Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch you on the other side.
