Sunshine!A break in the weather, finally! A nice change after about two weeks of grey raininess. It's a gorgeous, clear, sparkling, cold sunny day. :)
GoofedOffTodayMostly ignored my to-do list. Now I gonna watch a DVD and think about dinner!

Good tired? Or so-bloody-tired-I-can-barely-put-one-foot-in-front-of-the-other tired?"
The second one for me. This is how I woke up with Adrien whining to go out too early in the morning. Working late one day and early the next is never good.

Congrats!

LOL. The latter. :-)
I do feel better now — after a two-hour nap.

Right?!

My feelings are numb today. My heart has no feeling. There is nothing.
...joking. I had four cavities filled in this morning so part of my mouth is numb. But feeling is now returning.

I think it might make for a good start to a story though... yeah?

I've been learning to format books with Jutoh, learning to create FB ads through the power editor, learning to use Mail Chimp properly, catching up on industry info...my head is spinning.
But it feels great too!

Well done! That's impressive -- and I bet inspiring, too.

It's starting to feel like I'm taking back a little control. For years now it's been a scramble just to keep up with the newest release. There really hasn't been time for more than writing and publishing and racing onto the next thing -- and trying to answer some emails once in a while.
So to put some things in place that will sort of run themselves is a happy thought.

I know exactly how you're feeling. And I'm so happy to hear you've had a chance to do all this -- and to continue exploring these things and keep clicking those puzzle pieces in their places. When mere surviving takes all the time and energy, it's never good.
So, yeah, I'm so glad for you, and I'm extremely proud of you, dear Josh!

Wow, I admire that. And I can imagine how good the feeling is, to gain more control over your own work procedure again.

Well done, Josh! Glad you're able to thrive instead of merely survive. So proud of you.

That sounds awesome! I'm always in favour of learning something new and I bet you feel very accomplished being able to do those things yourself. Way to go! :)

Maybe it's over the Orlando shootings? A terrible thing.

Yes. Apologies, I didn't think about the ambiguity of "heart." My physical heart is fine. Just so very, very sad.
A young friend wrote something fierce and amazing and perhaps I'll ask if I may share it, but I can share that it ends with this:
"Our best vengeance against acts of hatred like this is simply to not apologize, to not ask for permission to exist or forgiveness for who we are, to not hide.
Our best vengeance is simply to dance, to love, to laugh, to live."

I have heard about Orlando very late, because I was in deep migaine - nothingness.
It is so sad.
I love what your friend has written! When such things happens, we have to understand, that all in what we believe is under attack! It is important not to hide, we all have only one life.

How beautiful and poignant. Thank you for posting this.
I'm upset also at the people playing down the homophobia in this attack.

Very well said.

Such a horrifying tragedy. My heart aches for everyone who lost their loved one this way.
I keep thinking that if there were more people like you guys here, world would be so much better place to live in. Kinder, safer, fairer.
